I have been using Gmail for a few years and it is without rival the best email service I have ever used. Not to mention one of the most simplistic and straightforward email service. You don’t have to deal with the clutter of advertisements and other nonsense while looking at you’re email, its just Email.
One of my favorite services of Gmail is how
the sort emails. If you have multiple emails back and forth between the same person, Gmail will group all of these into one thread, so you can see everything that you said and the responses you received.
Furthermore Gmail offers a chat feature on which you can instant message people in your address book if they are online at the same time as you.
