Every one who are familar with Internet own a mail-Id (one personal for sure), but which one? mostly gmail, Google trends say that only 2 countries use yahoo-mail more than google mail, so whats special about gmail?. As most of us know that gmail is a fantastic web application from search gaint Google, started on 1st April 2004 and took over conrtol from yahoo-mail (which dominated that time).
Some brilliant features available in gmail are,
1) Built in chat, text (sms), video, voice (Not fully functional in all parts of the world, but will be soon).
2) Spam filter is brilliant I can say.
3) GB’s of mails can be stored.
4) Mail search engine is excellent.
5) Undo sent mail within few seconds (Awesome feature) also delays you mail by few seconds (should not hurt you much).
6) Labels, Stars.
7) Gmail labs features: (Some I personally like)
- Location is signature.
- Undo send
- Text messaging in chat
- Create a document
- Inbox preview
- Mark as read button
- Vacation Time
- Navbar drag drop
- Right side chat
