Google's generic email app lands on Google Play
Although many don't know it, the company Google has two applications of email While one of them is the very famous Gmail, which already has surpassed billion downloads from Google Play, the other is a more generic tool called Mailand that only users of terminals Nexus and some Google Play Edition (terminals of brand with a pure version of Android) have been able to meet.A tool, this second one, that now reaches the app store Google Play independently to reach more users and with an intelligent strategy byGoogle
This is a more generic e-mail client included in terminals with the Android operating system pure That is, terminals without visual customization layers as used by other manufacturers such as Samsung or HTC An option designed for those users who do not regularly use their Google account for Gmail, or who have other email addresses that want to continue using these terminals. With this, they can enter their email details and receive and manage their messages from this application called Mail
The news, in this case, is that Google continues dumping applications of your operating system Android in Google Play That is, launching these applications openly and independently for more users and making them available in this store. The main reason is that, in this way, it is not necessary to update the entire operating system to launch new features for this type of applications Being distributed through Google Play and not exclusively on the operating system, it is possible to update and include improvements only in the application, without having to work on an update for everything Android Something that saves work for developers, plus time and steps to users.
With the application Mail any user can enter their email address not belonging to Gmail and your password to receive messages and consult them through this tool.An application that bears several similarities with Gmail, at least in terms of appearance visual With it it is possible to receive, consult or write new electronic messages All this without forgetting to attach files such as photographs and documents , blind carbon copying, and other email basics.
This application also draws directly from Gmail by copying some issues such as stars that mark as highlighted a message. In addition, it has a useful drop-down menu from which you can quickly jump to other trays such as the Trash, Messages Sent, or any other selection that the user has previously created. Useful details for regular users of this service who are not too demanding.
In short, a movement that Google repeats after other cases such as its photo camera A good way to keep improving issues in these apps without working on a general update of Android The app Mail is now available on Google Play for freeOf course, it is still very limited so not all users of Android will be able to install it. At least for the moment.
