About Gmail
Gmail is a free, advertising-supported email service offered as part of Google Workspace (formerly G Suite). With 15GB of email storage provided for free, users can access Gmail as secure webmail, as well as via POP3 or IMAP4.
Gmail automatically sorts emails into separate, customizable tabs (e.g. Primary, Social, Promotions, Updates) which users can add or remove as desired. Both inbound and outbound messages can be translated into other languages in Gmail, where users can also respond to invites, track packages, and leave reviews, without leaving the app.
Starring and custom color labels let users neatly organize email threads (conversations), while Google-powered search allows users to locate messages from any thread, quickly and easily.
With Gmail's Hangouts, users can instant message with others, as well as host video calls with up to 15 participants, straight from their inbox. The platform is accessible from any mobile device, via either native mobile apps for Android or iPhone/iPad, or via a native mobile web app.
Key benefits of Gmail
• Choose a professional looking custom email - e.g. [email protected] - for your company and team members to use.
• Host video meetings with up to 15 participants, straight from your Gmail inbox, with Hangouts.
• Access your email account on Android, iPhone, and Blackberry devices, via native mobile apps or the Gmail mobile web app.
• Automatically sort and label incoming emails with Gmail's color-coded inbox filters, similar to 'folders' in old email programs, but emails can have multiple labels applied.
• Recall or 'unsend' emails for a short period of time after you've clicked "send".

Gmail has been great for our business for it's customisable options. We have used it for nearly eight years and have hardly had a problem.
Pros
Gmail is free. It is used all over the world which means you are often sending emails to other Gmail users. The features run smoothly and it's hardly ever down. It's quite easy to customise to have our business name on the email address so that's why we went with Gmail for our company.
Cons
We feel Gmail is still a bit clunky and it limits the file sizes when sending a large attachments.

I have had a pleasant experience using Gmail, overall.
Pros
I like that you can increase your Gmail storage up to two terabytes for $20.00 a month.
Cons
I wish it was easier to find emails by date and I don't like that if I search for an email using the word "foot," the search will return results containing the word "footing" as well.
