On December 10, Yahoo announced that the last major mailbox has been added to the list: Gmail. In other words, you will now be able to access your Gmail account from within Yahoo Mail. Yahoo mentions that you will be able to access your entire Gmail archive, with attachments included, along with the most recent 200 emails. You can even search through all connected mailboxes from a single location. Here’s what you can do with the latest addition to Yahoo Mail:
- Sign in, Password Free: With Yahoo Account Key on mobile, you no longer need to memorize complex passwords. Signing into your Yahoo account is now as easy as tapping a button with the Account Key.
- Compose Engaging Emails: With the new Yahoo Mail app, you can now easily add photos and videos. You can also try the new compose feature on desktop to find and add not only photos and videos, but also GIFs, files and links too. All you need to do is just click on the “+” sign while composing a new message.
- Smarter Search: Find what you need quickly with the search results pages that not only display relevant messages but also files and photos from all your connected mailboxes.
- Access Contacts Across Your Mailboxes: Powered by Xobni technology, the intelligent contacts manager, makes recommendations on whom you should email depending on your habits. Yahoo Mail also displays contact cards that include information you may need about someone (i.e. phone numbers, email addresses, social media info, email history and more). Gmail support in Yahoo Mail is now available in both iOS and Android apps and the update is now live in the Play Store. To add a Gmail account to Yahoo Mail, users can simply go to their Account Settings on their mobile app or desktop.
