Gmail is an email provider owned by Google. Gmail is a free email service. You can have a Google account, if you already have a Gmail account. In the past, Gmail was only available by invitation. But now you can register and create a Gmail account anytime, anywhere.
When Gmail was first introduced, its development was limited to allowing users to invite their friends to create Gmail accounts. This is so that Gmail can maintain its elite reputation and limit growth. The limited invitation system officially ended on February 14, 2007. Instantly Gmail became one of the most popular email services.
Unlike its competitors, Gmail doesn't advertise messages or add anything to your mail. Ads are computer generated, not intentionally placed by Gmail. There aren't even any ads if you open Gmail on your cellphone.
Before you know how to create and register a new Gmail account, consider the following article about the benefits of using a Gmail account.
Benefits of Using a Gmail Account
1. Spam Filtering
Indeed most email services offer some sort of filtering these days, and Google's spam filter is very effective. Gmail tries to filter out any spam, virus, and ad phishing attempts, but it's not a 100 percent effective filter.
2. Merged with Google Hangouts
The Gmail desktop displays Hangouts contacts on the left side of the screen, so you can find out who your email contacts are using Hangouts. Hangouts is a messenger application that has the advantage of being able to make video calls with many people.
3. Offline access
You can access Gmail offline on your computer even if you are not connected to the internet. The trick is to install the Gmail offline chrome extension on your web browser.
