Support of Yahoo, Outlook, IMAP accounts will come to latest Gmail Android app

Gmail is getting a major update pretty soon that doesn't just show off a new look but lets you receive non-Gmail emails right on your app. Gmail version 5.0 will support any IMAP or Exchange email accounts such as Yahoo and Outlook.

Google includes ‘Insert Photo’ button to mobile version of Gmail

Google wants to help make it easy for you to add photos while using Gmail on your phone with a new “Insert Photo” button. Gmail product manager Thijs van As said in a blog post this is meant to ease the sharing process a bit for mobile users. You can even resize images in Gmail. “When you click the button, you’ll instantly access all the photos that are backed up from your mobile devices starting with the most recent.”

However, it also forces users to use Auto Backup through Google+. This feature is meant to back up your photos and videos directly on the social network.
