One of the most obvious shortcomings that Gmail for Android had was lack of support for Microsoft Exchange accounts so that any user could have personal and work accounts in that app.
But as of today, since version 6.4 of Gmail for Android, support for Exchange accounts is offered from the application. All a great novelty that adds to another one of Gmail of two months ago when "Gmailify" was launched so that any user could access the same features from a Yahoo, Hotmail or Outlook account from Google's own.
Support for Microsoft Exchange accounts mainly means that you can now use your personal and work account from Gmail itself. This is in itself a great novelty that allows users not to have to relegate to third-party apps to access those work accounts. Although it must be said that this Exchange support was had by Nexus devices since 2014 with the server.
What is not surprising is that Google finally adds better Exchange support due to the continuous increase of this type of accounts through Microsoft servers. In fact, the Exchange team has been rolling out more transfers to the Exchange 2016 server as the 2007 one will end up being supported next year.
A new feature best suited for casual users than those looking for a more complete experience, for which they can look for other alternatives that contain more functionalities such as Nine.
