Top 10 Reasons to use Google Mail
Google Mail makes email easy and efficient. And maybe even fun.
1. You don't like spam. Neither do we.
Don't waste time with junk mail and unwanted messages. Google Mail 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

2. Google is about search, and Google Mail is no exception
Use the Google search within Google Mail 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.
3. Create meaningful conversations
With Google Mail, each message you send is grouped with all the responses you receive. This conversation view continues to grow as new replies arrive, so you can always see your messages in context.
4. Communicate instantly
With just one click, you can chat in Google Mail with the people you already email. You can even reply to an email by chat. And Google Mail can archive all of your chats, making them searchable, so you never lose any valuable information.
5. Labels, filters, and stars...amazing!
Google Mail uses labels to help you organise 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 organise your inbox. Plus, it looks good.
6. Get your mail on the go
The days of needing your computer to get to your inbox are long gone. You can now use Google Mail on your mobile device to access your email from anywhere.
7. Lots of space (and counting)
We're always working to increase the amount of free storage we offer in Google Mail and if you want even more, you can always purchase additional space. With all that space, you can archive instead of deleting messages, so they won't clutter your inbox but will remain searchable in case you ever need them again.
8. We have ads but only the good kind
With Google Mail, you'll never see pop-ups or untargeted banner ads. Instead, we display text ads and related links you might find useful and interesting. Our system, like our spam filter, automatically scans the content of your messages for keywords so we can deliver only the most relevant information.

9. Save time
Take advantage of Quick Contacts and Keyboard Shortcuts in Google Mail to get through your email even faster. And don't forget that you can quickly find messages using Google Mail's search feature powered by Google search technology.
10. All this is free?
That's right - we know it's crazy but we like you that much.
