10 Reasons – Why I like Gmail!
Nirmal has made a post, where he has listed 3 reasons for not liking GMail. However, the reasons which he has mentioned are the ones which I think are PROS of GMail and when Nirmal asked me, I thought that it will be the best way of explaining that why I find his, listed CONS as PROS of GMail and apart from that, my reasons of liking GMail :
1. The Skin or Interface : I think, that this is one of the best part of GMail, because the color combination (largely blue) which has been used in GMail is soothing to eyes. You don�t get blind even after looking at it for long duration. As far as Web 2.0 effects are concerned, then I think that it makes use of Keyboard shortcuts, quick compose window, on the fly attachment, auto save etc. and these do come in the Web 2.0 effects.
Creation of filters, searching of e-mails, selection of e-mails is much quick and fast in GMail as compared to any other email service. It loads up faster than Yahoo mail beta and Windows Live Hotmail, as it is mostly text based and hardly uses any images.
2. Labels instead of Folders : Well, to be honest there is no big difference in these two things. So, I really can�t say why it can be called as a Negative. If you apply a label and then archive that email, then you�ll not feel the difference between the two.
3. Who needs Drag and drop ? : Well, the good use of shortcuts will ensure that you won�t miss the drag and drop facility. You can get the list of shortcuts from here. If you press the # key then you�ll be able to delete the email too.
These points were the explanation of Nirmal�s question 
of why I think that his points are PROS of GMail instead of CONS of GMail. Now, I�ll list the other reasons of why I like the GMail -
4. POP and SMTP access : The only top email service which provides both POP and SMTP features and that too with secure connection.
5. Support for other accounts : GMail, allows you to display that you�ve sent an email from a completely different email address, however all the time you use GMail only. I maintain 5 different email accounts from one GMail account! Now, that productive!
6. Integration of Google Talk : GMail allows me to chat with my friends from with in, even if I don�t have Google Talk, installed on any computer.
7. No obtrusive or banner ads : GMail makes use of adsense and that too they are on the extreme right hand side and really don�t bother much but if you see other email services you�ll see Banner ads, flash based ads which take time to load and are always distracting.
8. Integration with Google Office : You can easily open Documents, Spreadsheets and presentations with GMail and which you can�t in other top email services.
9. Spam less inbox : GMail has got the best spam filter amongst all the email services and everyone will agree to me on that. It get very less false positives and hardly any spam email gets through in your Inbox.
10. UNDO Feature : I like the UNDO feature a lot, just in case you get to do something stupid and delete an important email, then you can simply go and press the UNDO button and it shows you the email back in place!
So, here are my reasons of loving GMail, which are those features which make you fall in love with GMail ?
