10 Reasons I love GMail
- Less spam. I used to use Yahoo Mail and I got 40-50 spam emails each day. I get much less with GMail, sometimes only 3-4 per day.
- The search feature is awesome. I have to use Lotus Notes at work and it is absolutely cumbersome. I have to search folders over and over. I had the same issues when I used to use Microsoft Outlook.
- I love the conversation view in GMail. Getting just a bit on in age, I don’t remember like I used to (OK, I was never very good). Anyway, the whole conversation is right there when I open an email.
- I use Google Talk all the time. I can chat real-time with my contacts. I can also archive the chats and make them searchable too. Who would have thought that Google would be good at search? Tip 4a - You can also send a Voicemail with Google Talk! Tip 4b - You can send files too!
- I have figured out how to use labels, filters and stars for my emails. These features have become my favorites. When I had to stop putting things in folders, I thought I’d be lost. Ha…did I have an awakening.
- The amount of storage space that you get with a GMail account means you really never have to delete anything…ever! Just archive and go.
- GMail on the go. You can use GMail with your mobile phone quite easily. Just go to google.com/m
- Privacy. I can sign in using HTTPS. I appreciate that feature.
- I can store all my contacts in GMail. Back to that memory thing being not so good…wait a minute, what was I talking about?
- FREE. GMail accounts are FREE. Did I mention that it doesn’t cost anything?
