What is Google Mail?
Google Mail
Google mail refers to the e-mail or webmail service supported by Google. It is usually referred to as Gmail. Initially, Google mail was a private service where one could become an e-mail account holder only if invited by an existing Google mail account holder. However, this is no more the case, and earlier in 2007, Google mail has emerged as a public domain like Yahoo, MSN, Rediff etc. In the beginning Google mail offered a storage capacity of 1GB which has been increased to 2GB recently.
Once signed in Google mail, one can send, forward and receive messages. Attachments can also be sent easily and faster through Google mail. All messages sent are saved in the ‘sent messages’ folder and can be viewed later and forwarded to other web addresses. In fact, even while one is composing a mail, a draft is autosaved after a stipulated period of a few seconds, so that in case one loses the contents of his writing, it will be possible to revive it from the drafts folder. Also, it must be mentioned that all e-mail addresses where the mails are sent are automatically added to the address book in Google mail in an alphabetical order. Most Orkut users are intimated about an entry in their ‘scrapbooks’ or new friend requests through their Google mail accounts usually. All spam messages are deleted instantly after a period of thirty days has commenced. The chat window in Google mail allows chatting with Google Talk users as well as other Gmail users without necessarily downloading Gmail.
Google mail is extremely popular and apart from providing a variety of services like the ones mentioned above, it also enables e-mailing in a whopping number of over forty languages. Therefore, one can conclude without doubt, that Google mail has managed to impress its clients over these few years and promises a variety of upgraded packages soon.
