10-3d Email Account

Google’s email account service, called Gmail, has over one billion active users and is the

world’s largest email service provider. Gmail was initially revolutionary for the huge amount

of space it offered—1 gigabyte per user when rivals were only offering 100 megabytes or

less—and the integration of Google search, which gave users a robust way to search within

their stored emails. Since then, Gmail has continued to offer popular features such as filters

and labels for users to organize their mail, a variety of add-ons for special functionality from

the former Google Labs, and deep integration with other Google products such as Google+,

Hangouts, YouTube, Maps, Docs, and Calendar.
