Caving into Gmail’s popularity in the email industry, Yahoo announced today that you can now manage your Gmail account via Yahoo Mail.
In October, Yahoo Mail introduced multiple email management in their freshly redesigned client. Outlook, Hotmail and AOL Mail were all on the list, but Gmail was conspicuously missing. Now, Gmail joins Yahoo Mail’s other supported email services.
It’s no secret that Gmail is a popular email client. According to Litmus Labs, Google ranks second, right behind iOS, among email clients. Offering virtually unlimited email storage since it was first released, Gmail has evolved past email into a versatile productivity suite, offering word processing, spreadsheets, Google Hangouts messaging and cloud storage – free of charge.
Yahoo Mail users will still have to sign on to Gmail to access Google’s various services. However, Yahoo Mail can search, manage contacts and switch seamlessly between Gmail and other inboxes.
Here’s a full list of the integration Yahoo Mail offers with Gmail according to the company’s statement.
