Is it possible to revert the latest update of the Gmail app for Android?

Yes, you can either uninstall the update or maybe even download older versions– ce4Jun 6, 2013 at 10:06

For the future I recommend using an app like AppMonster Pro Backup Restore, which always makes a backup of each package you install/backup (and optionally auto-purges, to keep only a limited number of backups per app) -- so you always have some versions to revert to. As for now, see Andrew's answer below or follow ce4's link. Good luck!– Izzy ♦Jun 6, 2013 at 13:14

It's not as easy to revert to individual previous versions, but you can revert easily to the stock version that came with your phone.
- Find Gmail in "My Apps" in the Google Play Store
- Tap Uninstall
- Tap OK to uninstall updates and revert to original
Revert to stock version, (as above)
then go here via the mobe's web browser:
http://www.apk4fun.com/history/901/
or here

Find a previous version you want, download & install.
Make sure the phone settings allow install from non-GooglePlay locations.
Actually all quite easy.
Go to Apps - Gmail then go down to to the AP settings. It opened up the play store and I had the option to uninstall updates. It went back to a fresh start, just log in and it seems to work fine but a slightly older format.
