MetroMail is an excellent third-party Gmail client for Windows Phone devices, which lets users make the most out of the service. It’s quite popular between Gmail users, but with the latest update, the app introduced support for Outlook as well, and comes with a bunch of new features for Outlook users.

  • No longer break threads for non-Outlook (e.g. Thunderbird, Gmail) users when replying to emails
  • Proper handling of embedded email images
