Its not working for me on my own hosted email. There is no "gmailify" option. Am I missing something or does gmailify ONLY work for hosted-non gmail accounts e.g. Yahoo, Outlook etc. ?

#132After reading this I tried to install an exchange account on my gmail app. It asked for a bunch of extra permissions for the specific exchange account, including the permission to "Erase all data" from the telephone, resetting it to factory settings. Not gonna happen. From what I gather those permissions were requested by the exchange server, so my university would be the one to blame. Why a server would ask for this…
If you are still searching on a solution on this: I were able to solve the permission problem on Android with Mailwise. Apart from the cool exchange feature, it's a fairly average client though.

#133So mixed messages again. Is 'Inbox' the next-gen Gmail interface or a hobby project that will get closed down in a year? Momentum has slowed and I've become so dependent on it's workflow I'd be gutted if this was the case. However - I don't believe Google will maintain two email clients in perpetuity. On past experience - they'll fold the functionality of one into the other - partially and imperfectly leaving users i…
The only feature Inbox has that I need in Gmail is "snooze". If they bring that over I will stop needing to use inbox.

Google Apps supports Google Now email-based cards. It needs to be enabled by your Google Apps administrator.
I have never been able to get email based cards for my domain account. How did you set it up?
Instructions are at https://support.google.com/websearch/answer/2938260?hl=en. Even though the setting is under Android Settings it does also enable Google Now for iOS.

Clearly you haven't had the privilege of using Lotus Notes ;-) My anecdotal counterpoint: Gmail is one of the most reliable products I regularly use.
Man, if I could "Gmailify" my Notes inbox (without breaking some IBM proprietary-data rule) that'd be heaven. Verse doesn't come close.
Almaden had a research project called BlueMail which was pretty good. Naturally, it wasn't encouraged outside of Almaden.

I'm not sure about the US but in Canada it's certainly not true that everyone has data plans (in fact as far as I can tell unless you have a company sponsored phone, data plans are in the minority), and SMS remains a cheap communication method that is more or less guaranteed to work.
I live in Canada, and I don't know anyone who lives here that doesn't have a data plan of some kind, although I'm sure they definitely do exist and there are definitely people without a ton of data.
I'm not sure where you are but I find it quite uncommon for university students.

Really? I don't know many university students that don't have the latest smartphone(or at least a fairly recent one) which usually implies they have a data plan of some kind since most of them don't have $800+ to pay outright.
But to be fair at my university there are also a lot of students that drive brand new or fairly new cars too and I've parked beside too many Porsches the student parking lot.
