Google’s online email service, better known as GMail is a must have for anyone who sends a lot of emails, and once you’ve started using it, you’ll appreciate that it’s the only email account you’ll ever need.

Currently offering a whopping 2.8 Gb of space to every user, it’s unlikely you’ll ever need to delete an email ever again. I receive literally hundreds of emails in the course of my job, and many of those come with large attachments … and still i’m not even close to using half of my allowance.

The best thing about GMail however, is that all your emails are stored online … meaning you can access them from anywhere in the world, as long as you have an internet connection.

So let me tell you about some of the other useful features, making this service a must:

• it allows you to archive your emails into groups, so you can quickly and easily search your email history.
• you can create custom filters to automatically sort your emails into categories, or forward to other addresses.
• you can use your account information to sign up for GoogleTalk, and instant messaging application, that you can use to hold both chat, and voice conversations with people all over the world for free.
• you can use the same account information to log in to the multitude of other services that Google offers.

It has also never been easier to sign up for you very own account. Up until recently, in order to sign up for a Google account, you had to be invited by an existing user. Since the turn of the year, this is no longer the case, and everyone can sign up for free.

So what are you waiting for, go sign up for your very own Gmail account by clicking here.
