Description
Mailroom provides seamless integration between Gmail's world class mobile web app and familiar iPhone conventions, along with progressive web interface enhancements for features Google left out, giving you access to your local iPhone Address Book, attachment viewing, managed offline reading/replying/composition, and more.
Whether you have a single Gmail or Google Apps for your Domain account, or several, Mailroom makes your Gmail experience on your iPhone incredible.
Data connections got you down? Mailroom's new offline support keeps a version of your recently read and received messages on your phone, so you can read, reply, and compose messages without Edge, 3g or Wifi. Our use of HTML5 and Gmail's offline storage also means your interactions are faster now than ever before.
Have more than one account? You're going to love Mailroom. Moving between accounts is faster and more useful. We let you launch Mailroom from the last open account. And Mailroom's "TrueNew" message count badges tell you not just how many unread messages you have, but how many are new since the last time you loaded the app. No more unread message anxiety thanks to Mailroom!
On "Badges" and "Push:
Mailroom customers, we heard you loud and clear about badging and push notifications. While we currently don't support push notifications directly, we're integrating with partners to deliver push. Available immediately, Mailroom integrates with Prowl to deliver push notifications! We are working to provide even more push-notification integration points as quickly as possible.
Please note: Prowl push notifications WILL NOT update your icon badge count!

Customer Reviews
Not the solution I was looking for
After playing with this app for a day or so, I've had to edit my review and my rating. There are a number of problems with Mailroom that have caused me to remove it from my iPhone and revert to the built-in mail client.
1. Its very slow: it takes forever going from startup to composing an email.
2. It does not remember the state: every time you start up, it reverts back to the accounts screen. It should stay where you left it; even the Gmail web app does this.
3. The unread count is rarely correct.
Hopefully some of these will be resolved in a future release.
Simplifies multiple Google accounts
For the most part, Mailroom is just like using Safari to access Gmail. But by adding easy support of multiple accounts, and getting rid of any requests to re-authenticate, it makes things that much easier for people with multiple Gmail/Google Apps accounts. Having access to phone contacts is just icing on the cake.
If you have more than one Gmail/Google Apps account, THIS APP IS AWESOME
I love the "TrueCount" for new messages.
