Get started with Google Mail


Gmail is Google’s web-based email program, which provides you with over 7 gigabytes of storage, fast Google search, and powerful spam protection.  What this means to you is:

·          No spam, pop-up advertisements or untargeted banner ads

·          Any email you send is grouped with all the responses you receive, creating a conversation thread that keeps everything in context

·          Google search and chat is at your fingertips, no need to sign up for these tools separately

Overview

Gmail makes email easy and efficient:

  • Gmail blocks spam before it gets to your inbox. If an unwanted message ever finds its way through, you can fight back by reporting it and help make our spam filters even better. Learn more

  • Use Google search within Gmail to find the exact message you want, no matter when it was sent or received. You don't have to spend time sorting your email, just search for a message when you need it and we'll find it for you.

  • Organize replies into conversations

  • Chat is built right in

  • Gmail uses labels to help you organize with more flexibility. A conversation can have several labels, so you're not forced to choose one particular folder for messages. You can also create filters to automatically manage incoming mail. Starring messages is another way you can organize your inbox. 

  • Get your Gmail on your mobile device to access your email from anywhere

  • You get lots of storage space and Google is constantly increases the size
