Gmail

Gmail is a free email service provided by Google. As of 2019, it had 1.5 billion active users worldwide. A user typically accesses Gmail in a web browser or the official mobile app. Google also supports the use of email clients via the POP and IMAP protocols.

At its launch in 2004, Gmail provided a storage capacity of one gigabyte per user, which was significantly higher than its competitors offered at the time. Today, the service comes with 15 gigabytes of storage, which is divided among other Google services, such as Google Drive, and Google Photos. Users can receive emails up to 50 megabytes in size, including attachments, while they can send emails up to 25 megabytes.

History

The idea for Gmail was developed by Paul Buchheit several years before it was announced to the public. The project was known by the code name Caribou. During early development, the project was kept secret from most of Google's own engineers. Gmail was announced to the public by Google on April 1, 2004 as a limited beta release.In November 2006, Google began offering a Java-based application of Gmail for mobile phones. Gmail exited the beta status on July 7, 2009.
