Google recently started allowing Gmail users to access their email accounts while using Yahoo and Microsoft Outlook/Hotmail accounts so they could view their inbox on one screen. The Alphabet subsidiary is now expanding the Gmailify feature on its Android app so outside sites have a look and feel that is more like the native Gmail account.

Gmailify users can now enjoy a Gmail-like inbox. When Google fans use the Android app their email experience will be more like Gmail even when they are accessing a different domain name, according to Engadget.  

The app provides many Gmail-like features. They include automatic sorting based on email type such as social or updates, spam filters, better mobile notifications, Google Now cards for plane and hotel reservations, and faster search.

Spam protection is one of the biggest features. Google's spam filter is generally better than from other email providers, and helps to keep inboxes better organized.

The search giant added Gmail-like features to its Android app about a year ago, according to Android Police. However, it was still missing a truly "Googley" experience for smartphone and tablet owners.

Gmailify can be disabled at any time if users want to stop using it. However, it allows Gmail users to keep their old account and get better email support on Android devices.

Google has plans to add Gmailify to more providers. The new features will likely require an app update and is available in "Link account" in the main Gmail settings.   

Some Android device users had also been dealing with delayed or non-existing notifications since November of last year. It mostly affected Gmail running the Marshmallow version of Android OS.

Gmail's 5.10 app rolled out less than a month ago but only fixed syncing for Hotmail accounts, and did not fix Gmail accounts. As of a week ago Google's email team had idenfied the sync bug but had not developed a software fix yet.   

Gmail app users thought that the problem would be eradicated with the February security fixes for Nexus phones. However, Google explained that the update would not be through a system update, so Android users will just have to keep checking until the problem is solved.
