I am a heavy Gmail web interface user. Although the native mail app on the iPhone is nice and I can even get Push mail with Gmail Exchange account setup. I still miss the features like starred conversations, etc when I am using my Gmail accounts. Plus, I use multiple Gmail accounts.
Mailroom iPhone app provides a nice integration between Gmail’s web interface and the iPhone’s UI. Mailroom app comes with some important enhancements to Gmail mobile web app.
Mailroom acts as a wrapper to Gmail web app with some nice features thrown on top of it. Some of the features that got me hooked up to this little but useful app
I love Gmail web app’s threaded conversations, labels and the options that come with it.
Mailroom Features
- Add multiple Gmail and Google Apps accounts and switch between then
- OFFLINE mode – read, reply and compose with no data connection
- ‘TrueNew’ message view – shows unread messages since your last visit
- Access to both native iOS contacts as well as Gmail contacts (very useful if you keep them separate)
- View HTML messages as intended
- Remembers where you left off last time
- Attachment viewer support for .pdf, .doc, .docx, .htm, .html, .pdf, .txt, .xls, .xlsx, .jpg, .tiff, .gif, .mp3, .aac, .mp4 files and more
- Built-in web browser so you don’t have to leave the app when you click on links in email
- Built-in picture viewer
Mailroom is essential for those with multiple Gmail accounts and have gotten addicted to Gmail’s way of doing things.
Mailroom is a $2.99 app and the price isn’t too much if you consider the amount of productivity you can derive from an app like this.
