When we launched the redesigned Yahoo Mail app in October, users called it “slick,” “speedy” and “elegant.” The app now has a four-star rating in both the Apple App Store and Google Play. We introduced multiple mailbox management for Outlook.com, Hotmail and AOL Mail. Yet, something was missing from the list - the ability to connect your Gmail and Google Apps account to Yahoo Mail. You asked for it and now it’s here!







All the features you need and love in Yahoo Mail – powerful search, smart contacts, rich compose features and Yahoo Account Key for password-free sign-in – are now available with Gmail. Here’s your path to a more convenient, powerful and personal email experience. You can now search across your entire history of emails, from day one, for all connected mailboxes! (Not just your most recent emails, which is how it’s done in many apps today).

We even sync every single action across all your mailboxes, like moving emails between folders, deleting emails, marking them as read, etc. When you compose an email, you can send from any account you’ve connected (i.e. personal, school, work, etc.) even though you’re using Yahoo Mail.

Here are some of the Yahoo Mail features that you can now use across your Gmail emails:

Sign in, Password Free: With Yahoo Account Key on mobile, you no longer have to memorize complicated passwords. Account Key makes signing in to your Yahoo account as easy as tapping a button.

Access Contacts Across Your Mailboxes: Our intelligent contacts manager, powered by Xobni technology, makes suggestions for who you should email based on your habits. Yahoo Mail also displays contact cards that include information you may need about someone (i.e. email addresses, phone numbers, social media info, email history and more).

Multiple mailbox support for Gmail within Yahoo Mail is available globally today in the Yahoo Mail app and on the desktop browser. To connect your Gmail account, go into your Account Settings in the Yahoo Mail mobile app or on the desktop.

We’ve also announced new features and capabilities for the Yahoo Mail iOS and Android apps.
