Google's new Material design has been popping up in updates for many of their apps, and the Gmail app has finally joined the party, bringing other email services with it. While the apk isn't (officially) available yet, we do have Google's onboarding video which you can watch after the break.

The update will include support for Outlook and Yahoo accounts. It will be interesting to see if they add other services in the future and if they do, if they'll discontinue the standard Email app built into Android. The update looks great and appears to be quite functional. Let us know in the comments what you think!
