I've been using gmail for a very long time, since it was inite only and very much in the early, trial stages. It is a web based email and you just get an address like your.name@gmail.com which is pretty good as it is easy to remember and to give out to people over the phone/etc. Gmail is really simple to use, you just logon with a username (the first half of the email addy) and then a password which you set. Then you get taken to the inbox of your mail box. Gmail is pretty generous with space I think, with you being allowed 7392MB of space (eg I currently have over 8000 emails (i know I know I need to delete them) and it tells me I am using 11% of my ...  Read the complete review

Well, I seem to be in the minority here (not an unusual occurrence for me I'm finding these days) because I don't like Gmail. My main personal email account is on yahoo (having changed from hotmail years ago) but I opened a second account with gmail about a year ago to use for signing up to internet sites such as dooyoo. I must admit to not having read any instruction on it and not making much attempt to find out how to do anything but then I've never done that for any other email site and haven't had problems. Sending and receiving mail in gmail is fine and much like any other site. I have found that organising emails is very different, rather ...  Read the complete review

Google Mail (or Gmail) was launched in April 2004 by invite only, and invites were extremely sought after for over a year, and were for sale on eBay for fair amounts of money. I was very lucky to get an invite in September 2004, when I signed up for the Beta Mail and were immediately impressed by how fast and good it was to use. Moving from the slow, small, and clogged Hotmail service it was a breath of fresh air and the two other main e-mail providers Yahoo and Hotmail soon overhauled their offerings. Even when I had joined up invites were very hard to get hold of, I only had several invites for my first 12 months using it! Gmail is based in java so very fast ...  Read the complete review

I believe this is the right place for reviews on www.gmail.com which you can also access from the Google.com place. This is the email service from Google. I use Gmail as a back up of my main Yahoo email but also to save and store contacts. Like many other features linked to Google, it is free to use Gmail. From www.gmail.com just follow the instructions to set up a login.One good thing of the registration process is that the "verification code" is a easy to read code, some other sites make it very difficult to decipher what the verification code is. Like any other website where you can store, send and receive emails, Gmail ...  Read the complete review

Having now used gmail for several years, the main advantage with gmail compared to other webmail providers is the speed of the service. Pages load quickly and are easy to navigate. On the other hand webmail providers such as hotmail are full of java advertising and all kinds of annoying bloat. This is because advertising on gmail is text based. Overall I would consider gmail to be superior to hotmail and yahoo mail however these days it's not just about the mail service itself but also the services that tie in with the email service. Hotmail works quite well with msn messenger. Although gmail is better, MSN messenger is the main reason I still use hotmail as ...  Read the complete review
