This is a feature available in outlook desktop application at least for Mac
The irony is of course that Gmail did used to be essentially an instant messenger until Google decided in their wisdom that on Android you should not be notified immediately you receive a message
I've probably got this wrong but I use chat on the Android Gmail app which gives me notifications instantly.
What am I missing?
This is what I was wondering...the "chat" and "spaces" functions are already fully integrated into Gmail and are instant messaging. We used them extensively at my previous place of work. The article seems to be more about Google incentivizing chat-like responses to emails, which would be awful.
