If you are still using Yahoo Mail, you’ll be delighted to know that the service now has Gmail (and Outlook for a while now) support. The Android app of Yahoo Mail was just updated to v5.1 that adds support for Gmail accounts.
Yahoo Mail was an ancient looking, out-of-place app on Android not so long ago. The company then updated it a few weeks back to finally bring it to 2015. Abiding by the Material Design guidelines, the Yahoo Mail app now features Account Key and multiple mail services support. This is quite the progress in the last few months, so you may want to give it a shot again if you are not satisfied with the Gmail or Outlook apps.
Here’s the changelog for Yahoo Mail 5.1:
- Connect Gmail mailboxes to read, organize, search and respond to your Gmail messages within the Yahoo Mail app
- Select all messages in a specific folder on your device – just tap on the select all icon in the upper-left corner when moving or deleting multiple messages
- Interface improvements for account switching, settings, touch targets, and message list readability
- TalkBack accessibility improvements
- Performance enhancements
The Yahoo Mail app for Android is free and can be downloaded below.
