Google Email

Google's email server also allows over 2 gigabites of storage space, which is a very large amount. Email need never be deleted, unless the user really doesn't want it anymore. All email can be archived so that it is off the inbox page, but still will be searchable if the user wants it again at any time.

Google's email server, gmail, has filters you can set up, which are rules to tell gmail where to put your messages. For example, if you keep getting spam from a certain address, you can set up a filter so that any incoming mail from that address gets sent to the trash can immediately without ever getting into your inbox. Gmail also has a spam box where it puts suspicious emails. You can delete them yourself, re-file them, or they will be automatically deleted after 30 days.

Gmail does not use folders. Google email is set up like the Google search engine. Things can be labeled in categories that you specify instead. Google thinks that is more efficient than folders. Some people disagree with that idea.

Since Gmail is Google email, text-based text-relevant ads are run alongside your inbox list. These ads are text-based, which means that they do not contain graphics. They are text-relevant because that means that the ads are placed in response to the keywords in your email messages. So if you get lots of email about parenting, you will likely see parenting-related text ads alongside your email list. Google's staff does not read your email. Rather, the ads are set up to be triggered by repetition of words within your email. Clicking on the ads creates revenue for Google.

Google's email service, Gmail, is a free, high-memory capacity email service with nice organizational features. It's worth a try if you have the opportunity.
