 Thanks to my friend who invited me to open an account with GMail few years back. I remember the first thing I noticed after logging in was that Google’s email had a simplistic interface, which I liked. The UI of GMail was drastically different than anything I’ve ever used for email before. Here are a few excellent advantages of having a Gmail account:
The Standard version of GMail is supported on most browsers. If you are on an older version of Internet Explorer or Netscape then you don't get all the features but you do get a basic HTML version.
You can configure your GoogleMail address to work with Outlook if you would rather use MS Outlook or keep more than one email address together. I find though that even after only a relatively short time, I hardly ever use my other email address now. I can go days and days without even checking it The advantage of using the POP settings is you can work off line and access your emails, so read and reply off line, then connect to send and receive.
I love the fact that all the contacts are auto-stored so you do not have to do anything. If you want to send an email, you can just type the first letter of their name in the "to:" box and you will get a drop down menu.
The next unique part is that all the email replies are stored as one continuous conversation. So you might be having say 10 conversations with different people going on at once, and instead of 100 emails, you will just have 10 conversations in your Inbox. You can expand and collapse the conversation, and forward or reply from any point.
You also notice that there are not any advertisements with GoogleMail like there are with Hotmail and other providers.
Since I opened an email account I have never had any problems signing in, unlike on Hotmail which does go down from time to time.
Attaching files to an email is really quick and simple on GMail. Compared to Hotmail, its a whole lot quicker and better. Try and see.
I did not hold a very technical approach to this review, but I guess that it gives an idea to all of how good this email provider is.
