Ü Default HTTPSmakes Gmail even more secure than ever before. Gmail will identify your important message and separate them from everything else. If you want to make calls, click "Call phone" at the top of the chat roster. International calling rates have been dropped too. If you want to call phones from Gmail, you can now do so in 38 languages. It's also cleaner looking – and more modern. If you aren't familiar with Google+, it's Google's answer to the social networking empire called Facebook. You can now filter your inbox messages by Google + circles to see the messages that mean the most to you. Google Labs instantly translates messages that are written in another language for you. As we said, Google increased its storage space to 10 GB. We've listed the newest features to be added to Gmail below. However, all this is to the benefit of Gmail users. They are always expanding, always looking for ways to improve their services, and definitely always looking for ways to one-up the competition. If you spend any amount of time online, then this is something you already know. And as is typical of Google, they've also added unique features to their Gmail services to try and stay a step ahead of the competition and to continue luring email users to their services. It's also available as part of Google Apps. Today, Google has upgraded its storage space per account to 10 GB, as well as integrated Gmail with other products and services that are offered by Google including Google Calendar, Google Talk, and Google Buzz.
They did this by offering incentives such as "invitation only" accounts during their five year beta phase and an introductory storage space of 1 GB, much more than Hotmail, Yahoo, or other free accounts offered. When Google introduced its new Gmail program, they knew it had to be special in order to draw people away from the other popular email accounts and get them to sign up. It's a newcomer to the Internet world when you compare it to Hotmail and Yahoo who had already signed up millions of people. One of those is, of course, Gmail which was created by Google. But today, as the world of the Internet continues to expand and grow, you have even more choices. The same can be said for Yahoo email accounts. Five years ago, for instance, everyone had a Hotmail account because it could be used for MSN Messenger.
These are most likely email addresses you obtained for free to access certain websites or features that came along with the email address. In addition, you might have one or two others to use for personal reasons.
If you own your own website, you may have one that you created with that. You might have one that your ISP (or Internet Service Provider) issues to you. That said, most of us nowadays have more than one email address.
We also get our magazine subscriptions, newsletters, coupons, important reminders, requests for job interviews, and just about anything else you can think of delivered to us electronically via email. We even receive electronic copies of our bills. We keep in touch with family and friends using email. Arguably, we depend on our email more than we do the postman to deliver envelope and packages to our door. Introduction to GmailĮmail is an integral part of everyone's life nowadays. And, of course, it also includes an email program called Gmail. It now includes products and features such as document sharing, cloud storage, maps, and the list goes on. Google has come a long way from being JUST a search engine. How many times do you say or hear someone say, "Let me Google that?" when they really mean "Let me search for that online?" It's a regular part of most of our vocabulary, not just as a company and a popular search engine, but also as a verb that we use whenever we refer to searching for something online. There's no doubt that you know the name Google by now.
