Gmail 5.0 - A facelift for Gmail on iOS

@rrhoover One of the most underrated gmail labs innovations.

@rrhoover Also would pay for a decent SMS app that integrates this in a smart way.

@rrhoover True! but max of 30 sec limit saves meanly 5% of times.

@rrhoover swipe to archive and delete... sweet, but I'm still missing snooze

@rrhoover My favorite feature is notifying me that I have written "I've attached a PDF" but haven't attached anything...

@antoineplu missing two of my favourite features however – Reminders & the ability to save web links to your Inbox.

@antoineplu Lololol

@antoineplu really? I don't see reminders or snoozing. If they have that I would start using Gmail app. Not on Android either.

@jbriscoe saving web links is awesome. Killed pocket for me

@nivo0o0 Who uses Archive anyhow

@raritan @nivo0o0 Me. (And, I think, everyone who doesn't get ginormous amounts of email and wants to keep their inbox sanity.)

@fabiobracht @nivo0o0 Maybe I should start trying it. Sounds exhausting though... Also can't you easily Archive in iOS default mail?

@raritan @nivo0o0 It's no more exhausting than the cognitive exhaustion of having 3 or 4 or 5 digits on your unread mail count. :) And it's easy to start: select every email on your Inbox — every single one — go through the last month or so, deselect everything that looks both actionable and important, then Archive All. If it's older than a month it's not really important — if it was, you would have replied/take action by now. And if there's anything older than a month that is actually important, it will come back to the top of your inbox at some point. Relax. From this point on, it's just a matter of not letting the emails pile on again. Archive everything that's not important or actionable. Create filters to help you with this. (Google Inbox's automatic "bundles" are great for this.) Deflect emails to come back another day if they're important but you won't be taking action on them today. If you start to go too many days without reaching Inbox Zero and too many mails are piling up on your Inbox (for me this threshold is 15, 20 max), make a concentrated effort to get to Inbox Zero that day and enjoy the peace of mind that comes with it.

@fabiobracht @nivo0o0 My issue is for search (on iOS mail app) the results do not show if it's been archived

@mannyorduna @robbettis Totally - this needs to be at the top of their feature list!

@mannyorduna @robbettis it's on android they do this refresh and still not available. I am staying with inbox mainly because I love bundles..

@guy I hate this. I want to determine what's important to me.

@aprudy @guy Agree. I'm carrying a iPhone 7 Plus now, and they managed to take up so much more of the screen with garish defaults that it actually lost information density and personal relevance.

@rgoodwin @guy You and me both. I don't mind having the ability to shift to Important and Unread but I want to start with a chronological Inbox.

@aprudy @rgoodwin @guy Could not agree more.

@guy old comment (I know!) but if you're looking for a different layout you may want to consider some gmail extensions. We have one (DragApp.com) but there are loads thatn will add a lot 'extra' onto Gmail experience.

@ourielohayon It's also amazing to me that after all this time css doesn't render properly in gmail.. The amount of hours I've wasted designing emails with the most disgusting inline css is not fun

@alexcohenbirch +1

@ourielohayon I made the switch to Android and that's been the most frustrating part. No good email apps. I've always felt the Gmail app on Android is very average at best and has a lot of functionality that is just a head scratcher to me as to why it's even there. Can't believe Google hasn't put out a solid email app yet.

@iamelliot the email community will be pleased! This also means more awesome emails for everyone!

@benln agreed. I'm getting an android experience on my iPhone.

@benln Exactlyy..!!

@raulsann Same here. I looked high and low to find the setting to disable downloading of images by default but can't find it. Makes me wish they didn't update the app.

@benhomie totally. I should have kept the old version. This feature is available on the Android app. It doesn't make sense that they decided not to add it for iOS.

@gr I agree, would love snooze in the Gmail app!

@phostercreative What do you feel you're missing without this unified app? Do you use both Gmail and Inbox currently?

@chrisdolle what? forealz? do i have to redo 90% of my gmail labels?

@chrisdolle RIP "Chats" label too, where the Talk/Hangouts chat logs used to be accessible outside of desktop web.

@scawtent thanks for the support, Scott! 💌

@kevinohlsson 👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎

@kevinohlsson this is one more reason why I use Polymail for all my gmail needs :-)

@adammydesign I'm using gmail+mixmax and gmelius and I love it, but I've seen polymail featured on PH a few months back. One major turn-off for me is that its not multiplatform compatible yet, when they support win10 + android too I will consider switching. Aand.. does Polymail support gmails priority inbox as well as blocking-other-trackers? And whats their privacy policy like?

@scottjacques All of these are included: - Multi-select by doing a long-tap on any email - tap the Envelope icon on top right of any message view to mark as unread - change default from archive to delete in Settings.

@adammash thank you adam!
