Multiple mailbox support for Gmail within Yahoo Mail is available globally in the Yahoo Mail app and on the desktop browser.
Yahoo! Inc. has introduced the ability to connect Gmail and Google Apps account to Yahoo Mail.
Yahoo Mail app, introduced in October, has seen quite an uptake with users calling it “slick,” “speedy” and “elegant.”
Yahoo! introduced multiple mailbox management for Outlook.com, Hotmail and AOL Mail. This will help sync every single action across all mailboxes, like moving emails between folders, deleting emails, marking them as read, etc. When the user composes an email, he can send from any account he is connected (i.e. personal, school, work, etc.) even though he is using Yahoo Mail.
“All the features you need and love in Yahoo Mail – powerful search, smart contacts, rich compose features and Yahoo Account Key for password-free sign-in – are now available with Gmail. Here’s your path to a more convenient, powerful and personal email experience. You can now search across your entire history of emails, from day one, for all connected mailboxes! (Not just your most recent emails, which is how it’s done in many apps today),” said Shiv Shankar, senior product manager at Yahoo.
Here are some of the Yahoo Mail features that users can now use across your Gmail emails:
Sign in, Password Free: With Yahoo Account Key on mobile, you no longer have to memorize complicated passwords. Account Key makes signing in to your Yahoo account as easy as tapping a button.
Compose Engaging Emails: Easily add photos and videos with the new Yahoo Mail app. Or, try the new compose feature on desktop to find and add not only photos and videos, but also GIFs, files and links too. Just click on the “+” sign when composing a new message.
Search Smarter: Find what you need quickly with our search results pages that not only display relevant messages but also files and photos from all your connected mailboxes.
Access Contacts Across Your Mailboxes: Our intelligent contacts manager, powered by Xobni technology, makes suggestions for who you should email based on your habits. Yahoo Mail also displays contact cards that include information you may need about someone (i.e. email addresses, phone numbers, social media info, email history and more).
Multiple mailbox support for Gmail within Yahoo Mail is available globally in the Yahoo Mail app and on the desktop browser. To connect Gmail account, users need to go into their Account Settings in the Yahoo Mail mobile app or on the desktop.
Yahoo! has also announced new features and capabilities for the Yahoo Mail iOS and Android apps.
