• Archive instead of delete

  Tidy up your inbox without deleting anything. You can always search to find what you need or look in "All Mail."

• Chat and video chat

  Chat with your contacts directly within Gmail. You can even talk face-to-face with built-in video chat.

• Labels instead of folders

  Labels do the work of folders with an extra bonus: you can add more than one to an email.
