Reasons To Use Gmail

Gmail is the mail service provided by Google. There are many advantages in using Gmail and I will outline some of the main ones here.

It is quite easy to register your new Gmail account. Go to Google.com and click on the Gmail tab on top. Now click on 'Create New Account' and follow the registration process which is straight forward. It will tell you whether your desired username which will be your email address is available or not. You can play around with this until you get a name you are happy with if your first preference is not available. You will also be given ideas to choose from close to your first choice.

Advantages Of Gmail

There is huge space in Gmail, 7504 MB which is quite a lot. It would be very hard to use it up, you will never have to delete an email again. Some other interesting features are the chat function which is both text chat and live talking which is free between account holders.

If you have other email accounts you can import them in to your Gmail account which will mean you can still use this address if a lot of your existing contacts have it, but you can manage and read all emails from one your one Gmail account. You can also re-send the emails from the non Gmail account from this account. To import the non Gmail accounts, click on settings on the top right, now click on 'Accounts and Import', then click on 'import mail and contacts' and follow the procedure which is prompted. You will have to go to the email account which you are importing and click on the approval link which has been sent there automatically to authorise and finalise the procedure.

Useful Options of Gmail

Some more useful options of the many features of Gmail are what they call 'labels'. These are folders which you can set up and manage your emails. You can prioratise which emails you want as they come in. Gmail is also really good for anti spam. By using g-mail you can connect a lot of Google's useful tools which are so helpful with your online activities. You can connect your Google Analytics, YouTube account, AdSense and Google Alerts to name but a few.

There are many reasons why using Google's Gmail is a major advantage when managing you online business.
