Google Mail

Google Mail rolled out publicly in 2004 and since then has added many new features and established itself with legions of loyal fans. One thing that establishes Gmail and puts it far ahead of other email providers are the services included with Gmail. Blogger and Google Drive are far enough to sway people to the service. Another helpful thing is the fact that Google filters out almost every piece of spam email. In the years I have used Gmail, I have rarely seen a spam e-mail as opposed to using my outlook express or a horrid hotmail account where hundreds of spam e-mails flood my inbox weekly. Gmail also has many features that other e-mail services don't provide. 

Some tips for a first user

1. You can actually undo a sent message in Gmail. Simply click the gearbox at the top of the screen, go to labs, settings. Click Undo Send and after that you're good to go. After sending a message a box will pop up allowing you to undo the message.

2. Click More at the top and select Google Drive. This allows you to use a free storage.

3. Also under more you can find the Blogger service.

4. You can use Google Docs, a FREE alternative to Microsoft Office.

5. Clicking the star next to an e-mail lets you prioritize that message and mark it as important.
