Mailbox for iOS, the popular Dropbox-owned mail client app, was updated today with some of its most requested features.
Mailbox has added support for users of both Yahoo and iCloud email accounts. Up until this point, users of the app were only able to sync Gmail accounts with the service.
The company announced the news via an official blog post:
Today we’re thrilled to announce we’ve added Mailbox support for Yahoo, iCloud, me.com, and mac.com email accounts. This is a big step for us — we get more requests for Yahoo and iCloud support than for any other feature.
Mailbox remains 100% free, and adding a Yahoo or iCloud email account is just as easy as adding a Gmail account.
Also included in the 1.7 update are some other minor changes. Here’s the official list:
What’s New in Version 1.7.0
- Support for iCloud and Yahoo email accounts
- Background syncing
- Option to disable “help me get to zero” banner
- Option to disable swipe to open drawer
- Bug fixes and UX improvements
You can download Mailbox for free from iTunes.
