Happy Friday all.

Had a scout around online but haven't found an answer to this.

I have my gmail account set up in the Apple email app along with the iCloud email address (as well as using the separate Gmail app)

Will the AI features work on the Gmail address emails in the updated Apple email app? Like those such as:

Priority messages in Mail: AI will put the most important email front and center.
Smart Reply in Mail and Messages: Use suggested replies that are better than ever.
Summaries in Mail and Messages: Get thread summaries that are more informative than a simple excerpt.

Does anyone know?

common sense is not very common

The second two definitely work for me in iOS 18.2 Dev Beta, using my Google Workspace accounts (so I assume free/personal Gmail too). I just had to re-enable "predictive text" in the keyboard settings to get it to work, as I usually have that disabled.

All of the Apple Intelligence stuff seems a lot better in 18.2, especially now that we can activate it through English (NZ) rather than having to switch to English (US) and therefore ruining compatibility with HomePods and other devices that are English (NZ).

I've already turned off the Categorisation feature in Mail (which I think is the parent feature of the "Priority messages" you mentioned), as I haaaaaate having things categorised (almost as much as I hate thread/conversation view in emails), so I can't help you with that one sorry!

Don't know the answer specifically, but being a long term Apple observer I think they'd support it working with any account within their own Mail app, but not other Mail apps, that usually comes later when they open an API to third-party developers. Having said that, the way these company's are treating AI makes it difficult to predict anything really.
