It's time to finally get a first-class Gmail experience on Windows Phone! The first app written and designed from the ground up specifically for Windows Phone, will be here soon. We are at the final stages of development, and we would appreciate your help with beta testing.
Please join us at https://groups.google.com/d/forum/metromail-wp-beta to receive all future announcements. In the next few days, the link for downloading the app will be available.
Why should someone use this app over the native client?
- First-class support for archiving, starred emails, and labels
- No more broken threads when replying to emails
- Proper search functionality
- Support for multiple From addresses
- Select a specific label (e.g. Primary) to display on the live tile
- Properly display long HTML emails
[IMPORTANT] Device requirements:
- Windows Phone 8 only; apologies to WP7 users!
MAJOR THINGS THAT ARE MISSING BUT COMING SOON:
- Push notifications
- Live tile support
- Handling attachments
Security & Privacy:
- The application only connects directly to Gmail servers (can be easily verified) and your password is never stored locally. It is as simple as that. The authentication process is no different than logging into Gmail through your device's web browser.
EDIT: Non-GDR2/3 users are now also welcome to join us!
EDIT2: The beta program is now closed. Thanks to everyone who has offered to help. We will let you know as soon as more spots become available in the future.
