Enjoy Gmail Features on Other Email Accounts with Gmailify

As many of you might remember, a year ago Google began letting its users to link their Gmail account with their Yahoo! and Outlook accounts so that all the emails could be immediately accessed from a single screen. This year however, things are even better: well, it seems that Google is introducing a new feature known as “Gmailify” that will allow anyone to take advantage of some of Gmail’s most important features on other email accounts.

To be more precise, with this new feature, you can get access to Gmail’s spam protection, you can enjoy a much faster search with advanced search operators and all your mail in one place, better mail notifications on mobile, as well as automatically sorting email based on type (Social, Updates, Promotions) and even travel and hotel reservations appearing automatically in Google Now.

At the moment, you should note the fact that “Gmailify” only works with Yahoo and Microsoft’s Hotmail/Outlook, but Google is clear about the fact that even more providers will be supported in the near future.
