If you're into the idea of using Alexa and Slack to answer your email, you might be interested in this little app. There aren't too many hearty email clients in the Google Play Store, so we're naturally curious when one comes out that's not only a delight to use, but it's got artificial intelligence baked in, too. I've been using Astro: AI Meets Email for the past week and it's truly a breath...

Help us fix email (and maybe win a new Android phone in the process!)

Posted by James Falconer on 30 Jun 2015 10:19 am

For the last month or so, we've been running a short survey to get more insight into your email pain points. While the feedback has been great (thank you!), we need more of it, and time is running out. If you haven't completed the survey yet, today is your last chance. We close things down at midnight tonight, so take a few minutes right now and fill out the survey. As a token of our...

Email is broken — help us fix it (and maybe win a new Android phone in the process!)

Posted by Derek Kessler on 5 Jun 2015 2:57 pm

We've all been there. Maybe you're there now. You switch over to your email app and there's this tremendous stack of unread messages. Some are important to you, some to your boss, a lot are crap. Increasingly it seems all but impossible to keep on top of it all — which do you need to read? Which need an immediate response? Which can you just delete without even opening? It's like you can never...

Google clearly likes to break things out of Android and put them onto Google Play. We've seen it before, more than once, even, and tonight we're seeing it done again with the "stock" email app (quotes intended).

Gmail updated with actionable notifications for Jelly Bean users

Google has just updated its Gmail app to include new actionable notifications for incoming email on devices running Jelly Bean. This means that incoming email can be archived, deleted or replied to directly from the notification pane, rather than by entering the app first. Since being introduced in Android 4.1, actionable notifications have been seemingly underutilized compared to simple...

According to our not-so-scientific poll taken this time last year, chances are good that if you’re reading this then you use Android’s Gmail app. The latest update to Gmail bumped it up to version 4.2.2, adding some useful new features like swipe to delete, as well as the long awaited pinch to zoom. You may or may not have already read about these and started to use them. What about all those...

Yahoo! Mail just received a notable update to version 2.0 this morning. As is the case when making a move to a new version number, many changes are in order. Right off the bat you'll notice a much-needed updated UI that brings it into the present period of design. It's clean, usable and even follows much of Google's new design guidelines -- no menu buttons to be found here. The changelog also...

Microsoft launches new Outlook.com email app with old design

Microsoft has just released a new version of its email app to coincide with its overall email rebranding to Outlook.com from Hotmail.com today. While the app brings a lot of features that Outlook users will like -- ActiveSync, Contacts and Calendar sync, multiple account support -- it is wrapped up in a very bland and outdated design that reminds us all of Android 2.3. We had high hopes that...

AppRiver is hoping to get around that by offering its own over-the-top secure encrypted email solution with an app its just released called CipherPost Pro. Instead of running your own...

The new version is available right now through the Google Play Store, so head to the "My Apps" tab to get yourself up-to-date.

Those of you dreaming of a better Android e-mail client might one day get your wish -- Google has acquired Sparrow. Sparrow's been an iOS/OSX staple, and we can only hope it'll bring its talents to Android, along with Gmail at large. Writes Sparrow: We care a lot about how people communicate, and we did our best to provide you with the most intuitive and pleasurable mailing experience. Now...

Official Hotmail for Android app updated, now supports Ice Cream Sandwich

8 Comments

Posted by Richard Devine on 27 Feb 2012 12:18 am

Remember the days when absolutely everyone used Hotmail for their email needs? Seems there's a lot of people who still do, but couldn't use the official Android application if they were running Ice Cream Sandwich. An update pushed out this week that addressed just that issue. However, while it now supports Ice Cream Sandwich, it definitely isn't optimised for it. There's also a fix for some...

Late-night poll: Do you use the Gmail app?

100 Comments

Posted by Jerry Hildenbrand on 14 Feb 2012 1:31 am

Gmail is one of Google's best products for many of us. Personally, if my computer or smartphone is on, Gmail is running either in a browser window or through a mail client, and while using an Android device it's the first app I set up. It's very well done on Android, and overall it's the best and most reliable way I've found to get my mail. But not everybody is like I am. During the Mobile...

Google deprecating its BlackBerry Gmail app

Want a real Gmail app? A man's Gmail app? Not like you were ever really going to find one on a BlackBerry, but what those poor clunkers did have is going the way of the dinosaur, as Google's decided to deprecate its BB app. Starting Nov. 22, support ends, and our CrackBerry cousins will be relegated to the mobile browser. Not that that's the worst thing the world, we suppose (hey, it was pretty...

iOS finally gets a native gmail app, but is it as good as Android's?

Posted by Phil Nickinson on 2 Nov 2011 3:22 pm

Rut ro, Raggy. The iOS -- and therefore the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch -- just got itself a native Gmail app, straight from Google itself. That means proper Gmail on iOS, in its own application, and not though the iOS mail app with IMAP. Guess that means the end of Android, right? Not so much. The app itself isn't horrible. But neither does it feel like an Android or iOS application. It's in a...

Android Quick App: Enhanced Email

For corporate users, or anyone without a Gmail account, really, Android's stock e-mail client can leave something to be desired. If you're looking for an e-mail app that can offer multiple Exchange accounts and sync IMAP/POP3 accounts simultaneously, I suggest Enhanced Email.Enhanced Email is an email client based 100 percent off of the source code from Gingerbread. What that means is you'll be...

A minor update to Android's Gmail app has hit the Market that fixes custom labels and improves copy/paste in Gingerbread. If you have custom labels in Gmail with custom colors, they wouldn't properly sync. With this update, that should be fixed. Also updated is the ability to long-press to copy text with Android 2.3 (Gingerbread). Here is the full update log: Enable long press to copy text on...

We were kicking this around last night, but it's not going away. A number of you -- and us -- are having problems with getting gmail to properly sync with our phones. Obviously, that's bad. The good news is that Google's on the case, saying "We're currently looking into this issue, and I'll report back here with any findings." "Here" would be the Google support forums, and the thread in question...
