The information comes from Android Police, who included a short video that introduces the new functionalities included in Gmail 5.0. The app will also be getting a redesign and some user interface updates, making the app's navigation cleaner.
Opening up the app to support non-Gmail based email accounts should be especially helpful for users who are have maintained personal or professional email addresses since before Gmail became so ubiquitous. For a user who has a Gmail work email and an old Yahoo account for personal messages, getting all of that information in one app just makes sense in terms of efficiency.
