Gmail for Android will be able to manage other mail services
The visual design is not going to be the only novelty that Googleinclude in your next operating system update Android And that's because Lollipop (the nickname given to Android 5.0) will bring many new features hand in hand. Among them changes in Google's own applications, such as its email tool, which will be even more powerful and capable in its next version for devices that work with this operating system.The reason? It will no longer only be limited to allowing you to manage your own email accounts of Gmail
This is how it became known after the leaking of a Gmail promotional video A small multimedia content used to present the benefits of what is going to be the new version of this app. An oversight that has left several of its features exposed to start opening mouths before Android Lollipop and the new Gmail landing on smartphones Issues ranging from the visual aspect to really useful and comfortable features.
The video only lasts a few seconds. In it it is possible to see the new aspect that Gmail will look thanks to the lines of Material Design, the style of Google for this new generation of Android where minimalism, layers, color and animations are the most outstanding points.Thus, everything superfluous disappears from the inboxes and menus of Gmail, keeping bright colors for the different sections and a clean and very clear mailing list. The new Compose button stands out much more, which is now located in the lower right corner with a very characteristic red color. A single tap an animation brings up the compose screen from the bottom and overlays everything else.
However, what is most striking is the other feature that can be seen in the video. And it is that the application Gmail will serve as manager of other email services Something that many Users have been waiting for a long time. This means having the accounts of Outlook (Microsoft) and Yahoo, among other services more, in the same application. And not as a mere inbox where emails from said accounts are redirected.
Suffice it to display the side menu of Gmail and switch between the different email accounts at the top. Of course, for this it will have been necessary to enter the account data previously. With this, the user can see ordered in different inboxes according to the type of mail, and taking advantage of all the labels and extra features of Gmail, their messages from the rest of electronic services.
A detail that will allow the user to dispense with the rest of mail applications, having instead the possibilities of Gmail for all their accounts, in the same place, and without taking up more space in the terminal. Of course, for the moment it is a promotional video, without showing yet how far this new version of Gmail is capable of reachingTherefore, we will still have to wait until the tool is updated, either for the official release of Android Lollipop or as an individual version of the application.
