It looks like Google has recently rolled-out a few improvements in terms of Google Sync on Windows Phone devices. More specifically, for Windows Phone devices that are running version 7.5 or later. But that being said, these latest changes for Google Sync deal with the Calendar as well as being able to configure your ‘send mail as’ address and search within Gmail.

The details have been posted by the folks over at the Google Sync team and break down as follows beginning with the changes to Calendar. In short, you can now configure multiple calendars to sync with your device. According to Google;

“Multiple Calendars is a feature that lets you select which of your Google Calendars are synced to your device. Just navigate to m.google.com/sync on your phone’s browser and configure the calendars you would like to see.”

In addition, once on the m.google.com/sync page you will also be able to set-up the next change — the ability to configure your “send mail as” address within Gmail. This one should help those who have multiple custom addresses set-up in their Gmail account. Another point dealing with the Gmail side of things, this latest change has also brought some improvements for search. This one means that you will now be able to “look beyond the conversations that are stored locally on your device.” In other words, Google Sync for Windows Phone will now allow you to search Gmail for locally stored and cloud stored conversations.

All said and done, while these items may not be anything over the top exciting, they should make things a bit nicer for those who consider themselves more of a power user. And once again, those looking to get this all set-up will only need to grab their Windows Phone device, launch the browser and navigate to m.google.com/sync to get going.
