Gmail Google builds their e-mail service on simple foundations. The service offers a lot of storage space and good usability.
Without Gmail, the free e-mail landscape would undoubtedly look different. When the company launched its mail service, the top dogs among the free e-mail services, GMX, Web.de and Yahoo!, offered customers a mailbox size of barely more than 20 megabytes. The then-revolutionary gigabyte of storage space has now increased fifteenfold.

The classic Gmail interface appears tidy, focusing on the most crucial thing: new e-mails. Navigating through different folders is quick and easy. Navigation through past conversations could be more straightforward. Gmail provides 15 gigabytes free of charge for e-mails, attachments and the like.

Gmail is not entirely without advertisements. However, advertising is unobtrusive and always limited to a narrow line above the inbox. Google does not send advertising e-mails. Overall, the small amount of advertising is therefore not annoying.

Quick access Gmail e-mail client

Thanks to the widespread use of Gmail, many e-mail clients already have ready-made Gmail profiles so setting up the mailbox is very simple. Apps are also available for Android and iOS devices: Here, users can choose between the classic Gmail interface and the Inbox design.

Security settings

The mailbox, as well as the login, is secured by HTTPS by default. Encryption is done via SSL. Encryption is also possible when receiving and sending by e-mail software; in the test with Apple Mail, the SSL protection was automatically recognised and applied. However, the data is unencrypted on the servers, as is typical for the industry.

It is also unclear to what extent Google processes user data. In contrast to earlier practice, the company no longer reads user e-mails to present personalised advertisements. Two-factor authentication is available.

Gmail effectively protects you against the flood of annoying spam e-mails. Google’s free e-mail has a reliable and robust spam filter that learns as you use it.

We have been using the Google e-mail service since 2005. Read also our articles on DeepL and Grammarly, the language translation miracle or Google nest.

Comments

The views expressed in comments and letters are those of the individual posters themselves. seventyone takes no position on comments. As long as commenting policy is followed, they get published.
  • All postings will be moderated and approved within 24 hours unless found inappropriate. Editors retain discretion over their publication. Because of our policy to keep all content on seventyone free of access restrictions, postings need moderation to keep spammers and net abusers away. We do hope you will understand this.
  • If you do not wish to post a comment for publication on the article page and instead want to write a letter to the author directly, use the author’s email id linked from the author’s name that follows the article.
  • Please avoid posting articles from another website, letters, or petitions you might have written on our website.
  • Please do not abuse or troll others. Such comments will be immediately disapproved, and the user will be blocked.
  • Please avoid posting comments anonymously or with shady names. We strongly discourage this and reserve the right to block such users from the website.
  • ALLEGATIONS AND ACCUSATIONS: Please do not make libellous or defamatory allegations against individuals. seventyone cannot publish such comments since it may place us in legal jeopardy. We may edit the comment and let the non-accusatory portion stand or disapprove the entire comment, whichever we deem appropriate.
    • If you feel you have documentary evidence implicating someone or some group named in an article, send us the documents with your interpretation of why you think your view is correct, your real full name, and full postal address, and request confidentiality if you need to.
    • We will make every effort to review it and amend our story and comments if necessary, and also attribute it to you. If you are requesting confidentiality, we will maintain that.
    • This approach is better than a set of allegations and counter-allegations under an article, which further confuses general readers.
  • While we will always acknowledge criticism, persistent misrepresentation will not be published.
  • We reserve the right to delete or disapprove any comment unrelated to the respective article or post.
  • We will remove comments that may result in a breach of copyright.
  • We will remove commercial or spam-like posts.
