TL;DR Gmailify is shutting down this month after almost a decade.
Third-party email accounts will lose Gmail-style spam filtering, categories, and advanced search functions.
You’ll still be able to access other inboxes in the Gmail app, just without the full Gmail experience.
It’s the end of an era, at least it is for Google-feature stans. For nearly a decade, Google has offered a way to make non-Gmail inboxes feel a lot more like Gmail. That feature is called Gmailify, but it’s now on the way out.
According to an updated support page from Google, Gmailify will be discontinued this month. Once that happens, Gmail will no longer apply features like spam protection, inbox categories, advanced search, or enhanced notifications to third-party email accounts such as Yahoo or Outlook.
Do you use the archiving feature in Gmail? 193 votes Yes, I use it daily, and I have no problem with how it functions. 23 % Yes, but I wish Gmail made it easier to find archived emails. 16 % No, I've only ever accidentally archived emails. 39 % No, I tried it, and I don't like how it functions. 12 % No, I use a different method to organize my emails in Gmail. 10 %
Gmailify worked by linking another email address to your Gmail account and pulling messages into your inbox, where Gmail then handled them almost as if they were native Gmail messages. For people who relied on Gmail as a central hub for multiple inboxes, that meant Gmail’s filtering and organization tools worked across everything in one place.
