2024. Gmail now allows to polish draft emails



Gmail added a new AI feature "Polish" (powered by Gemini) that will help users to get your email text ready for production stage. It's an enhancement of the AI-driven "Help me write" tool that was introduced last year. The new feature allows to refine your draft in various ways. It enables you to Formalize, Elaborate, Shorten or Polish your text. The Polish feature, in particular, transforms rough notes into a well-structured, formal email. When your draft exceeds 12 words, the "Refine my draft" shortcut appears automagically, offering these options to enhance your email.


2012. GMail integrates with Google Drive, Outlook.com comes to Android



Competition - is good for customers. When competition is strong, vendors stop being lazy and even forget about their political principles.

Microsoft recently turned its "mail for blondes" Hotmail into a solid and practical Outlook.com and now (as Microsoft says) it entices GMail users every day. Outlook.com advantages over GMail (according to Microsoft) are better spam protection and cleaner design. And different GMail features (discussion threads, hotkeys, themes ...) are gradually coming to Outlook.com. Today Outlook.com added an Android-application. Of course Android - is the competing platform, and so what?
