Gmail is a free email service provided by Google, that already has more than 425 million registered users worldwide, making it one of the most popular web services on the planet today. Gmail.com has become such as widely used service thanks to its powerful features which include lots of free space (15 GB) and video chat, and also its international availability.[1] Google’s email service is without any doubt my favorite, it has always been my top choice, but even more now since it was integrated with Google Plus, providing everyone access to more useful functionality which just wasn’t there before, like the ability to enable the Google+ related pages widget in Google mail for example, or like when you begin composing an email and Google automatically starts suggesting people from your Google+ circles, I don’t know if you have noticed the latter example, but it has definitely made my life easier, and it has also helped me save a lot of valuable time, I’ll never be thankful enough for that. Google+ wasn’t the only service integrated with Google mail, other popular services such as Google Drive, Google Calendar, Tasks, Docs, Maps, Search, Google+ Hangouts and Video Calls, Google Voice, and everything else can be instantly accessed right from your email inbox.
(Note: Below you will find a lot information about the Email from Google, but if you just want to know how to login, then you can just skip this whole thing and go straight to the sign in tutorial by scrolling down the page.)
As I said before, Gmail.com offers 15 GB of free storage to every user just for creating an account, and that free storage capacity that you get after signing up will be available across Google+ Photos and Google Drive as well, which means that you won’t have to delete information to make extra space, because there’s enough already to mess around with. Another thing that I really like is that you can login using Google’s secure webmail interface which allows you to check email and send messages from anywhere at any time.
Some of Gmail’s most popular features, well, apart from the ones that I already mentioned include incredible spam filtering and antivirus features powered by an entire community of users (therefore every threat gets exposed and instantly controlled), customizable tabs that allow easy control and navigation, mobile access, offline email access, you can also make your inbox and homepage your own using custom themes, other great security features that focus on preventing account hacking and information theft, make video calls, use POP3 and IMAP4 protocols for increased functionality and usefulness. and you can even transfer money online with the Gmail Money Transfers feature that uses Google Wallet to let you send money to anyone you want.
Gmail Sign Up – Create an Account for Free
To start using this service you will first have to create an account, if you already have a Google account then you can login to Gmail.com using your email address and password, on the other hand, if you still haven’t signed up for any of Google’s products or services then all you have to do is go to the Gmail’s sign up page and fill out the entire registration form located on the right side of your screen. Simply enter your first and last name, choose your username, create a password, enter your birth date, specify your gender, enter your phone number and current email address if you have any (if you don’t, then you can just skip that step), type the text in the box at the bottom of the page to prove that you are not a robot, check the box to agree to the terms of service and privacy policy, once you’re done filling out the registration form click the blue button at the bottom that says “Next Step”, and then follow the provided instructions to get started right away. After signing up come back to this page and follow the steps below to learn how to access your new Google email account.
