"This is part of a Google-wide effort to bring you an experience that’s more focused, elastic, and effortless across all of our products," said user experience designer Jason Cornwell said in a blog post.

He further added, "we know that you love and care about Gmail as much as we do, and we’ll be working on these upgrades gradually over the next few months to allow plenty of time to understand and incorporate your feedback into the evolving design."

Google anticipates the new interface will eventually expand dynamically to accommodate different screen sizes and user preferences.

Cornell further added that, one of the reasons we’re embarking on a series of interface updates is to help strip out unnecessary clutter and make Gmail as beautiful as it is powerful.
