Google is slowly updating Google Mail on android. I updated to it last night and it looks and feels totally different in a very positive way.

For a start you get the visual letter to the left of the email. This shows you the first letter of the email. If you have been in a conversation the letter icon is split in 2 showing your photo and the letter of the other person.

Next you can swipe to reveal your folder structure. You also get notifications of other Google service updates. Overall the visual and technical improvement is very welcome.

The only feature missing is HTML email signatures.
