Gmail or Google Mail (where "mail" means "correspondence") is a free e-mail service created by the American company Google. Since the service's launch date, April 1, 2004, Gmail has revolutionized the email market with a wide range of features for the user.
Initially, access to the Gmail service was only possible by invitation, but in 2007 the service became accessible to the entire public.
A big difference of the Gmail service in relation to the competition is the storage space. In the beginning, each user got 1 GB of space for free. Over time, this space became increasingly larger (greater than 10 GB), with the possibility of buying more space, if necessary.
Gmail describes that the top 10 reasons to use the service are:
- Less spam
- message search service
- Display of grouped messages
- Voice and video chat
- Mobile access
- Large storage capacity
- Bookmarks, filters and stars to organize messages
- Priority inbox for important emails
- secure service
- totally free
The Gmail service also offers users the possibility of using their own domain in a Gmail account, for example, "[email protected]". It's an interesting service for those who want to continue using Gmail, but provide a professional address on their business card.
