One attractive feature you will love aboutGmail is that it has unlimited email storage. So there's no need to spend a lot of time deleting unwanted email messages. You can use Gmail's simple graphical user interface, which also comes with keyboard shortcuts.
Another great feature about Gmail is its mobility. Because it uses POP and IMAP protocols, you can retrieve your messages, along with attachments, from your cell phone. You just point your cell phone to Google's web browser,http://gmail.com/app.
You can also use another feature, Google Talk, to engage in instant messaging and group chat. Do you want to save those chat conversations? Gmail allows you to archive and index them. Use the Google Calendar feature to set up events and invite users to them.
There's no need to worry about viewing your attachments. You'll be happy to know that Gmail supports a variety of attachment types, including Word, PDF, PowerPoint, Excel, and others. Gmail also supports rich text formatting.
Do you want Gmail to be your only web-based email account, even though you have other email accounts with other vendors? Well, you can automatically set up five POP accounts. Allow Gmail to collect all of the email messages from those accounts and send them all into your Gmail in-box. You can even send email messages to those accounts, using theFrom:feature.
Are you worried about spam and viruses? Gmail's spam filter detects junk and fraud email. It also scans for threats, such as worms and viruses. Do you want to block those ads next to your email messages? These are the email messages based on the keywords that are located in your messages. You can set up encryption to block those ads.
