Gmail - Fast And Free

Posted on Saturday, October 07, 2006 by Arun Basil Lal

Gmail Fast and FreeGmail is the best webbased free mail service. If I say this i dont think you would object. Because there is no reason to do so. Which other provider gives u such free service without any graphical adds..?

Ok Gmail has got adds. But thats the google addsence running. Those adds might prove useful to us. Addsence as u might know shows content speicfic adds on the right side of your mails. Those adds are not graphical so the pages loads really fast.


Did u get what I meant by content specific adds..? Look. If you got a mail from your friend saying that it's her sisters birthday the next week. Google adds will show some sites that will allow u to send e-cards. So you can do that right from there. Or for instance, if ur mail contains something related to flights between london and moscow , believe me the content specfic adds will come up with something related to that.


Turning back to Gmail.
Even thought it is in its beta version it has got a whole lot of things. Its been over an year I started my gmail account ( arunbasillal@gmail.com ). But even before that I used to get invitations to join Gmail from lots of my friends. Those days i used to think what is so special about Gmail. One day at a Cafe I saw my friend Gautam, using his account. Just by the view of that an idea came to my mind saying that it is really good. So the very next day is sighned up.
And I got.. 2500+( Now 2771 and counting) Mb of space, Bright colours to the inbox, And a brand new neat and clean inbox. First it was a facination. Then it became a craze.


Later Gmail added the inbult chat facility. So we could chat to our online contacts and to those on the google-talk. It had a very minute yet powerful chat utility right inside it.
Now Gmail has got a inbuilt mp3 player so there is no need to load an external player to play ur music files in there.


Its not over. Gmail has got all those standard features found in yahoo or any other mail providers. It has got a spam filter ( very intelligent one ), A mail search engine ( which will bring u the exact mail u want. Just give the subject or somthing related to it ), A vactaion responder, and labels Gmail also has got a very cute thing. If u send a mail to a new emai id, that id will be automatically added to ur contacs. Also when u type the id if it is in ur contact those ids pop down. So u just have to click it.


Gmail also has an option to save all ur chats right in it. You can also create mailing lists . Using indicators in Gmail u can know which all mails are sent to u alone ( >> ) and which all mails are sent to u as a part of a miling list ( > ). U will also get a part of the mail right into your inbox. So you can always find the right mail faster, without opening it.. And speaking of the speed..its supersonic. Most of the things in there are just like on the harddisk of ur pc.


Unlike other providers one cannot sign up for an account in Gmail right from their website. You need an invitaion from an existing Gmail user. That means that all Gmail users form a network which is closed and is opened only through invitaions.
If u are looking for the best e-mail provider send me a mail and I will send u an invitaion.


Come Home to Gmail and all the best google. We are looking forward for the day Gmail will be in its full version.
