That'd be great if their Gmail app was more useful, it's in ability to configure what labels to sync (aka IMAP sub folders) is a big drag, and why I switch to K9 mail.
You can choose which labels to sync. In fact, there are 3 options for each label - Don't Sync, Sync Default # of days, Sync All.
Finally! This is one instance in which the mobile version should have come first as it's so much important there.
Still waiting on the "send as" feature in the mobile version.
that's part of this update too... as long as an email address is set up to send mail in web-based Gmail, you can use it to send mail from the new Gmail app
Looks like they added 'respond in-line' too, or was that there before?
Nah that's new. No more top-posting when responding to mailing lists!
