Gmail is the most popular and widely used email client. Since it comes by default in Android devices, most people use it. However, if you are using Microsoft Outlook for official and personal purposes, maintaining another email can be difficult. However, you can take full advantage of Gmail’s advanced filtering and anti-spam functions. So will you do it? Google’s Gmailify add-on allows you to sync Outlook and Yahoo messages with your regular Gmail Inbox.
