Get a Google Inbox Invite Today but you have to act quick!

I've been using Gmail 5.0 for a while now and can't tell anything different from the previous version. Am I missing something?

If you open Menu then tap the down arrow next to your G Mail name there is an option to Add Accounts. You can add POP accounts directly into the new G Mail app, and then setup custom Notifications, etc. for those accounts to keep things neat & tidy. I have both of our Hotmail accounts in there and my wife's Yahoo account that she doesn't really use. Now I can keep track of them all in one app. I like it a lot.

Does it show the selected accounts on one page ie thread multiple accounts together or do you have to switch back and forth between them to see each ones inbox?

Not that I have seen...but I might be missing something. It looks like you have to switch to each Inbox to see those messages. Click your G Mail user name to go back to the G Mail Inbox, or click any of the other account icons to go to that Inbox. The letter in the icon is the first letter of the name you give the account. Here is an example of how it looks with multiple accounts:

I have been using Inbox for 10 days now. I initially didn't care for it. I needed to get it setup and use it. Once i did it sorta grows on you.

Ok so Gmail is the same as Inbox when it comes to showing emails from multiple accounts.

I like that they pulled in all of the other pop accounts although I don't use any. That seemed like something they were missing for a while.

Once I got the sorting squared away Inbox grew on me. The only thing that bothers me about Inbox is that new unread emails aren't displayed in bold like in Gmail.

I get multiple emails a day with the same headers and you can't tell the read ones from the unread ones.

i have 5 invites also you can PM me also. What I don't understand about inbox they got rid of the delete button and it's not easy to delete the emails on inbox.

That's the way I see it as well. I was never really a fan of "combined inbox." Makes it a touch more difficult to know quickly which account an email was sent to. I have separate accounts for a reason and like them kept that way.

The thing that irks me about gmail though is the inability to use a group to send emails to. I have the same group set up in my Google account and natively on my phone. I have one pop account that I often have to forward emails to a group. With the "email" app, I can select that group from my contacts list. With gmail, it's physically impossible. So, I have ONE pop account setup in email and all the rest in gmail.

Kinda ridiculous that it's possible in one app, but not possible with a Google app, made by the same company that has the group setup in their system...

I don't like having to move them to the trash (Bin) either. It takes up to 30 days for them to be auto deleted from the trash can. It was nice though that they removed them from the search feature when you drop them in the bin. That was kind of aggravating.

 

[Jonny Kansas]

Also, as someone else said, I don't like the "Mark as done" instead of delete. I'm assuming that's what you're referring to by moving them to the trash Ollie.

I know I've still got some emails archived somewhere from the week I spent trying inbox that should've just been deleted. Haha

I don't mark anything done. I long press the email and send it to the bin.

I started doing that eventually, but it was so hard to break the habit of tapping the trash icon up top, which was conveniently in a very similar place to the checkmark that marks them done. Bleh.

So many people are complaining about the omission of swipe to delete that they are sure to introduce it into Inbox. Their whole "kill the deleted email" option in Gmail previously made them bring it back. They were sneaky about it though in that you had to dig through menus to change it back from Archive to Delete.

I remember that. First thing I did was go in an change it to delete every time.

The swipe to delete gets a little hairy with the slide out menu from the left side sometimes. Thank God for the "Undo" option when you swipe a little quick and don't quite get your finger all the way over to the edge of the screen...

sure, there's room for improvement, but i couldn't go back to regular Gmail. I do get a lot of junk mail, however, it is junkmail i wish to recieve becasue from time to time i need it. To have them all bunched together in one group is great. personal emails come right through and are prominently desplayed and never lost in the barrage of emails shown in Gmail. It grew on my fast and use it now exclusively. I use use a stand alone app for work email. no biggie

 

[Valvoline]

. If nothing else, just because I can add my pop email accounts now and have them all in one app.

hopefully this will be added in the future
