  I find this App very useful! Only wish the settings had more options!

  I personally find having 'Mail for Gmail' very convenient and useful , especially since I can have it open at all times while I'm on the computer working, and during the times I am on the Internet I don't have to stop, open a new tab, and login threw the website. However, I do wish it had all the same "settings" you can access through the website Gmail. It would make it the ultimate program if it did have those options. Especially since when I am having issues with my Gmail account, the 'Mail for Gmail' works fine and the web version can have problems logging in but not here. I can still access my emails in this program without problems. Therefore, if the settings were available here to help troubleshoot problems with passwords or others related, being able to just go to my full set of settings would make this ideal!! Otherwise, it's my app I use daily as I have multiple accounts for very important and separate business or personal uses. "Knock on Wood," I have yet to have ANY issues with it and I've been using it daily for about 8 months!! Therefore, I do highly suggest this app, just know it does have certain limitations, as I mentioned limited settings options, you will still have to go to your actual Gmail account online for those, but that is understandable, as this is not your actual Gmail, it's a companion program to help with reasons I listed above for why it is so convenient.

  Best of the free gmail options IMO

  I dont like the ad nags, but there are really only a few of them and they are very rare. That being said maybe give us a paid version. The app works perfetly, and provides a super clean interface for me now that Inbox as been killed. We know all these gmail apps are basically a webpage wrapped up in an app window package, which is fine- but to me the best of these apps are the ones that add the LEAST to gmail. This one is super simple. Some of them you cant remove from the menu bar but this one you can and i love that... i like a clean menu bar. This one has a compact mode that is also nice and looks as if it was based on an iOS design which works great. One other thing to note is the responsiveness of this one compared to others... its super fast. If you close the window on the others it take a full second lag to open another window. I hate that, on a new Windows when its running it should be instant and this one is. Prolly cuz this one does not have added toolbars and such in the app itself. Just give me a paid, no ad option and id say 5 stars!

  it works

  it works but they try to get you when you start to type in your email to log in to your gmail they pop up a splash page to ask if you want to subscribe to there newsletter and as i was typing it popped up and i was typing in the enter email here bar on the splash page sneaky sneaky you guys but you dint get me and while some of you guys may be wondering why you wouldnrt want to subscribe to that well that is becase that newslettr you are signing up for isnt just that it. is also an email collecter so that they can always send you ads for as long as THE EMAIL EXISTS SO YEAH THERE IS THAT BUT OTHER THAN THAT FEEBLE ATTEMPT THERE IT IS A GREAT APP

  This App is great minus a few bugs/issues

  I much prefer this app over Microsoft's mail app and like that I can use gmail independent of my browser. There is one "feature" that becomes a flaw though. That feature restricts the sending of mail if you include the word "attachement" without attaching an item. It has saved my bacon a few times, but in the event that I am just referring to an attachment or describing something using attachement, I cannot send the email without editing my language. The second bug that cropped recently is when you click a link inside the body of an email, it will prompt my browser to open two tabs for the site/content instead of a single tab. I really do like and benefit from this app and recommened it to anyone I know who uses Gmail on a Windows.

  Mail for Gmail is different in a GREAT way!

  Having used regular mail, and now Mail for Gmail, I can tell a few differences that I just LOVE: Mail for Gmail seperates into categories: the Promotion mail and the Social mail are grouped. This makes it MUCH easier and LESS confusing when I open my mail, to see only the PERSONAL email sent to me. ALSO, I love the option to choose how I use my right or left swipe making it so MUCH easier to delete mail that is unwanted or finished-with. Thank-you, Thank-you for these differences! Sincerely, Penny
