Gmail is Google's free web mail service. It is Google's approach to email. It comes with a built-in Google search technology and over 2,600 megabytes of storage (and growing every day). You can keep all your important messages, files and pictures forever, use search to quickly and easily find anything you are looking for, and make sense of it all with a new way of viewing messages as part of conversations.

There are no pop-ups or untargeted banner ads in Gmail, only small text ads. Ads and related information are relevant to your messages, so instead of being obtrusive, they may even be useful.

Gmail also integrates instant messaging right into the email experience, so you can stay, in even better touch, with your friends when you are online. Easy, efficient and maybe even fun to use, it is a whole new way of looking at emails.
