1) "people use gmail" isn't a reason why it's good Just why it's popular. But, yeah, google/gmail has quite alot of cool tools

2) You can never have too much space I saved about 1400 spam emails, and only used like 10%

3) I didn't know that

4) It's fee indeed

5) More than one email?

6) It stops spam going to your inbox, but it seems to make more spam than others

7) True

8) Meh, so are all emails

Gmail a great product of Google. Every one likes Gmail, and its mine also favorite. Gmail is the choice of many because its give more features and security than any other. I loves Gmail because of its-
Stylish look.
Its popularity.
Its features.
Its easy to work on it.
Its wide storage space.
And its a Google product, which is mine first choice, as I loves Google..

Everything you wrote made sense .

All those "reasons" weren't all that accurate and there are other reasons which makes more sense.

1. It is from Google. Brand really matters.
2. No flash or image ads on web interface. I hate Yahoo or MSN for this reason.
3. No ad signature on outgoing emails.
4. Excellent anti-spam.
5. Free POP SMTP and IMAP access.
6. Simple interface, I have already learned email technology from college and now I just want to see it in practice.
7. External mail collector, I can access my college and office mail here and send from any of my addresses.
8. One GMail ID gives access to all Google services.
9. Plenty of space, but this is history. Now I need more, really.

hehe here are my reasons:

• spam control (NYAHA NIGERIA)
• imap interrogation (<3)
• he ability to have a period in your email address
• it leaves me logged on
• i can talk to my aol friends on it
• every one i email is added to my address book (and vice versa , of course automatically)
• i know lots of people who use it
• my school does not block it (one of the very few)
• gmail , email simple :]
• the ability to make my emails look pretty [;

Gmail is verry good *cough*
IF YOU USE YAHOO HERE ARE REASONS YOU SHOULDN'T STAY WITH IT:

• its flash design can take forever to load
• doesnt block spam
• not a lot of space
• SPAM SPAM SPAM
• ADS ARE TOO BIG.
• ads get in the way
• design is confusing (at least to me)

yahoo is being dominated by google in everything. i especially like how with google when you search all is there is a few lines and the search box. with yahoo its like SAGDAJDGALSHDF junk.

I have seen some new features added recently at Google Mail. Some new labels are created like personals and travel and several others, plus you have now the ability to create your own labels but I don't know how. I'm gonna study it a little. For every label you can customize it to hide or not, the text size and color. Great!!

i am using gmail for the first time(for about a month now). ever since i recieved my domain from xisto. i love it. i want to eventually trasition all my emails to gmail and delete my yahoo and hotmail accounts(hotmail was always a joke).

about 5 months ago. my mom asked what email account she should have. i told her gmail(that's before i was even using an account myself). i'll recomend it to anyone purely on the basis that hotmail SUCKS and yahoo just doesn't have the space or features gmail does. google in general i will always support.

even setting up my domain email was free. gmail rocks. so does a lot of the other google services. i even like igoogle but i would rather have a fast loading se so i turn it off

When GMail first came on to the scene, it was the 'in-thing'. Everyone wanted to be invited to GMail (Google didn't allow any sign-ups at that time) and soon it became a craze. Even PC magazines and websites began to hold contests with the prize as a GMail invitation! And the prized few who did get the invitation were in a dilemma because they could invite only 5 friends and were left scratching their heads whom to choose!

I was one of the lucky few who got a gmail invitation just forty days after it was introduced and was able to get my dream id, thanks to an invitation from my brother. The fact that the craze didn't fizzle out is enough testimony for the fact that GMail does rock a lot! Even though it was a late entrant it has earned itself a good piece of the market share and does a lovely job of maintaining it. GMail even supports domain owners with Google Apps, which is another wonderful creation.

There are very few reasons why one should not opt for Gmail over the rest of the competition. In fact, anyone who comes up with such a reason is really great!

18. Why Is Gmail Still Beta? - what's the policy behind keeping a beta version (7)

    I've been using GMail for almost three years, probably got it a few months after it was
    launched. I like it very much, the most out of all webmail systems I've tried. When I started
    using it I was thinking "OK, that beta will be dropped soon", then I got used to seeing the logo
    that way. Now I wonder what's the reason to keep the "beta" indication? Is it some sort of
    disclaimer ("if it loses your mail it's your problem") or just that people got used to it and
    removing it would mean losing users ("mmm it may soon become a paid service..", I know that does...

21. Which Antivirus Gmail Is Using? - A person found out it is Sophos! (12)

    Hey everyone! While surfing the internet I found out an intersing report..which claims that Gmail
    is using Sophos as the antivirus. This guy used a free service in which he sent out some malwares
    and that service gave out the report of major antiviruses...like which one detected it and which
    didnt. And then he compared it with Gmail....and the results show that Gmail found out exactly the
    same malwares which sophos found...so that means there algorithm is same...so it has to be sophos!

23. An Ode To Gmail. - A small text about how GMail is awesome. (5)

    Everyone wanted a piece of the e-mail pie. Microsoft made a free e-mail service. Yahoo! made a free
    e-mail service. AOL did so too. Each with their goods and bads, their limitations and restrictions.
    Until the savior came. Google decided to do the smart move and make a revolutionary kind of e-mail.
    Starting off with their beta program that made use of invitations, many people (including me) found
    the truly amazing experience and the easy to use interface of GMail it's key points to lead the
    e-mail game. GMail kept spreading like mad. Then, account creation went l...

    Hai GMail share the feelings that you got when you recived your first GMail Invite. Here is mine
    At first when I received a mail from Google that contained the link for my GMail account, my joy was
    boundless. I signed up for GMail on 2/19/05 the time when GMail was just released and GMail invites
    are rare. I was the only student in my college atthat time having a GMail Account. That made my
    friends look in jealousy. That was great time. ...

    you recieve html newsletters is just a pain. ...

26. Multiple Gmail Accounts As Free Online Storage? - (8)

    I came across this topic which basically says that you can use Gmail to store your files. If
    you're lucky, you get some free gmail invites to be sent to your friends when you open a gmail
    account. Now if you just keep sending the invites to yourself, you'll end up with lots more
    gmail accounts, isn't it? (I've tried it, you CAN create multiple gmail accounts by inviting
    yourself) And that means more storage space if you use each account to store 2 GB of things right?
    Could it possibly rival other premium data backup services online, most importantly...

27. Microsoft Says Gmail Is A Virus - (65)

    QUOTE It seems that Microsoft has started flagging Gmail as a virus in their virus scanning
    software Windows Live OneCare. Many people are reporting that every time they open Gmail, a warning
    is displayed telling the user they are infected with "BAT/BWG.A". Now, either Gmail is a virus, or
    Microsoft is generating false positives. Some affected by this "virus" say other anti-virus products
    do not pick up the infection — to me, this is a bit suspicious. So who should be responsible for
    fixing the problem? Either Google can wait for Microsoft to update their virus def...

    The Gmail Drive extension is a program that will create a hard drive in your My Computer folder.
    When creating folders or copying files to this drive, your computer will automatically store them in
    your Gmail account. They are saved as emails and put in attachments. It's pretty cool. Anyone
    else have it?...
