There are a number of reasons why you should be using a web-based email system, and Google Mail in particular:
1) It is a web application, and Google is always improving it. No more service packs or updates!
2) It has one of the best anti-spam systems in the industry. I receive very little spam through GMail.
3) It is available from anywhere, and you only need a browser to access it. Don’t mess around with configuring your mail client anymore! (But you can use another email client if you want to)
4) You get practically unlimited storage, so you don’t have to worry about backups. And it’s fast!
5) It is super easy to find and organize things… Google is the web search champ!
You might think “Well, my mail is already on my existing service, so i can’t switch”, but there are a number of ways to migrate your mail over to GMail. The service uses all the popular mail standards, so it is a snap to move mail into and out of it, if you need to.
Give it a try! A few little tweaks to your domain name info and you’re off to the races.
