Google Mail

GMail was a project started by Google developer Paul Buchheit several years before it was announced to the public. GMail is a free POP3 and IMAP webmail service provided by Google. In the United Kingdom and Germany it is officially called Google Mail.

G
Mail
launched on 1 April 2004 as an invitation-only beta release and became available to the public on 7 February 2007. To this day the service remains in beta status and has tens of millions of users.

With an initial storage capacity of 1 GB, GMail drastically increased the webmail standard for free storage from the 2-4MB its competitors offered at that time. The service currently offers over 7250 MB of continually increasing (at a current rate of 353.9 KB per day) free storage with additional storage ranging from 10 GB to 400 GB available for $ 20 to $ 500 (US) per year.

GMail has a search-oriented interface and a "conversation view" similar to an Internet forum. Software developers know GMail for its use of the Ajax programming technique. GMail runs on the Google GFE/1.3 server which runs on Linux.

The features of Google Mail:

Storage : 1 GB (FREE) , 10 GB (US$ 20/year) to 400 GB (US$ 500/year) .

GMail Labs : such as bookmarking of important e-mail messages, custom keyboard shortcuts and games, SMS Messaging through its integrated Chat .
