Controversial and Useful Gmail

Web-based email is not new; perhaps gmail introduced some extra features to make gmail user-friendly. So managing our personal email has become very easy and the addition of some extra tools has made it easier.

1) Advertising :

Well first of all I want to discuss about the controversial advertising by Google in gmail. They say that Gmail gives privacy to its users, they don’t breach inside and look the data inside our personal gmail account. But the fact is that when we open our gmail accounts we can see ads displayed inside our account ,the thing I want to stress here is , the ads which we see are all content-related ads , that is the ads get displayed related to our content. So if they give privacy to our content how do they display content related ads. God help gmail users.

2) Archiving :

The next good feature that I like the most in gmail is its archiving tool.

Using archiving tool we can transfer our messages in our inbox to all mails, then again if we need the mail into our inbox we can restore it.

3) Label :

Label is a thing which is use to give a name to our messages or differentiate our messages. This tool will be especially helpful when there are lots of messages related to money, medicine, army etc., and then we differentiate all the mails by giving a label name to each message related to money or medicine or army. So when we click the label money – all the messages with label-named money will be displayed, similarly medicine and army.

4) Accessing the Messages:

Reading email from our gmail accounts is lot easier and faster which is an open fact. I would like to specify that gmail doesn’t encourage any graphics in it

because there will be lots of spam entering into our gmail, so Google helps us to prevent spam up to some extent
