This is NOT an April’s Fool joke.
Google is testing an email service called Gmail. Here is official information about Gmail:
As part of Google’s mission to organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful, we’re testing an email service called Gmail.
Gmail is a free, search-based webmail service that includes 1,000 megabytes (1 gigabyte) of storage. The backbone of Gmail is a powerful Google search engine that quickly recalls any message an account owner has ever sent or received. That means there’s no need to file messages in order to find them again.
When Gmail displays an email, it automatically shows all the replies to that email as well, so users can view a message in the context of a conversation. There are no pop-ups or banner ads in Gmail, which places relevant text ads and links to related web pages adjacent to email messages.
However, it does not accept user registration yet. Only open to private and limited users for the moment.
Here are more news regarding Gmail. BTW, please not to confuse Google’s Gmail with the another Gmail which is an open source anti-spam program.
Thought:
Wow! I am surprised by this news in the morning! :)
While HOTMAIL offer only 2MB email space and YAHOO! MAIL offer double of it – 4MB email box, Google’s Gmail is 250 times bigger than Yahoo! Mail. 1GB FREE email box… Can you imagine it?! Never need to delete your emails again. Can save all funny attachments in your mail box. ;)
The notable features will be implementing of Google search power in email box and display emails in conversion. It is easier to find email messages now. (I was wondering, what if we apply Google search in our computer?) The display emails in conversion is nice feature to help us keep track an email message’s history.
If you are using free webmail now, I am sure you will register another one at Gmail. :) Even I, have own hosting, will register one. I want LcF@Gmail.com!!!
Hmm… It is time for Yahoo!Mail and Hotmail to upgrade/improve their webmail service, else, many will switch to Gmail. I can foresee it. ;)
long live google!!! best search engine in the world!!! woohoo!!!
My obsession with Google pays off again. :)
I do admit that 1GB is great but thought of Google searching my mails for related topics and placing ads on them is a big turn me off.
Gmail is a free service and includes 1,000 megabytes of storage with each account. However, Gmail is still in preview mode as we test it to work out the kinks. So for now, it’s not generally available … so what does that mean ? We won’t get to use it right ?… Plus this was announced on slashdot on 1st of April … are you sure this is fer real … as we all know all the news on slashdot on that particular date is best taken with a pinch of salt … make that a big pinch !!
platypus: still dun blif it is real huh? Google has officially announcement about it already. It is truth, but not yet available for public.
hey do update us on when google mail works.
lcf : wouldn’t be surprised about it tho’ coz one of the past years april food joke turned into a real project –> parrot –> python+perl

Gmail had been announced provide services from April,2004 by Google. But how to get sign-in, even its offical homepage doesn’t any column to make room for new member to join it. What’s gmail’s advantages ?! Does it be exsist ? Yahoo & other ISP announced they provide much more volume for free email box,some of them even provide 1GB or 2GB.
