You can access Gmail at http://mail.google.com/ wherever you have an Internet connection via a PC, Linux, or Macintosh (Mac) computer. To take advantage of the newest Gmail features, you'll need to use one of the following fully supported browsers:

  • Google Chrome (download: Windows)
  • Firefox 2.0+ (download: Windows Mac Linux)
  • Internet Explorer 6.0+ (We recommend Internet Explorer 7.0+ for the best experience, and you'll need it to use Gmail labs and Themes.)
  • Safari 3.0+ (download: Mac)

We don't test the following browsers, but believe they will work with all of Gmail's features:

You can also get access Gmail -- but you won't have some of the latest features -- with any of the following browsers:

If you use a browser other than those listed above, you'll be automatically directed to the basic HTML view of Gmail. Basic HTML view works with the following browsers, as well as many others:

  • IE 4.0+
  • Netscape 4.07+
  • Opera 6.03+

Regardless of your browser type, you must have cookies enabled to use Gmail. If your browser supports it, please also enable JavaScript.
