Gmail is made by google, enough said . Anyways, invites don't matter anymore, gmail is now open to the public, but you could still send them. Gmail is just so user friendly and easy to use. The space is constantly growing and you never need to delete your mail. The way you can label your email and just search for the one you want is revolutionary. That's why gmail is so great. That and it comes with a ton of other google features like picassa and a free website .

It offers 5GB of space for emails (the number is rising all the time). And it used to really appealing in its beta because the invites, at first, were hard to come by so it was like an exclusive privilege. IMO, it also feels less cluttered with ads and such than Yahoo and Hotmail.

Gmail is better than others. LOL I have used Yahoo, MSN, and other free emails. I cannot use MSN and Yahoo. MSN is widely used but it has been banned in my country and other organization such as university, and offices. Yahoo is also banned in my country but at the beginning it does not allow users to keep lots of emails because of limited space.

Gmail is the first email which give big space such as 1GB to keep our emails. I do not need to delete my emails. Now, it allows 5GB. But it also has some problems. The files you keep so long are going to crush. Last 3 months ago, I checked my old mails and found mp3 sound. I tried to listen it but I only heard terrible sound. I realized that the file was damaged. Maybe just having error with binary code (010110100 to 010110111). I am not pretty sure.

What so ever it is, Gmail is very convenient and easy for users to send email quickly. Once you send an email to your new friend, his or her email is already added in your contact list. You do not need to add a new contact list separately. As for me, MSN is a little wired.

Oh one more thing is that you can use gtalk and chat with your friend when you log in to your gmail. You do not need to install any software. You can leave offline message simply. Gmail use AJAX, so it is very fast for you to access it. It only loads one new part not loading the whole web page again. Isn't it cool? I feel that gmail is more advance than others. At the beginning MSN gives only 2MB space. Yahoo is about 250 MB. Now, everything is changed and followed the way Gmail does.

Oh, you can attach a file easily. In Yahoo and MSN, there are 2 steps to attach a file. I dislike that. I do not want to waste my time for attach files one by one. Moreover, in Gmail, attachment file size is 10 MB which is larger than Yahoo and MSN. This is GB century. All photos, video, music, mp3, mp4, and pdf files are over 2 MB. It is difficult for us to reduce the size less than 2 MB.

Well, gmail has a GREAT SPAM protector!! I mean, I once had a gmail account with 1.5k emails in my inbox and 15k emails in my SPAM folder(I was testing the SPAM preventer). Gmail also has about 7GB of space so you can "never have to delete another email". I actually got lost in my emails so i don't really care about space. I could have about 5MB space for email and not even use half of it because I check my emails everyday and delete read ones.

Some people admire the fact that GMail has all of these functions. So they probably use GMail because they think it seems better. It is also user/noob friendly. It has a tutorial on how to use the email service.

The Gmail invite thing, I don't know what that is. If I did find out, it would probably be stupid.

i know many people who love gmail. but i personally hate it. i love google but i just always prefered gmail. one bad thing about hotmail - the email i always use - is that you can't chat on it but they say there going to change that.

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

    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

    didnt. And then he compared it with Gmail....and the results show that Gmail found out exactly the

    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?

    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...
