Gmail is a free, advertising-supported email service provided by Google.

Users may access Gmail [6] [7][8] as secure webmail, as well as via POP3 orIMAP4 protocols. Gmail initially started as an [9] invitation-only beta release on April 1, 2004 and it became available to the general public on [10] February 7, 2007, though still in beta status at that time. The service was upgraded from beta [11][12] status on July 7, 2009, along with the rest of theGoogle Apps suite. With an initial storage capacity offer of 1 GB per user, Gmail significantly increased the webmail standard for free storage from the 2 to 4 MB its competitors such as Hotmail offered at that [13] [14] time. Individual Gmail messages, including attachments, may be up to 25 MB, which is larger [citation needed] than many other mail services support. Gmail has a search-oriented interface and a "conversation view" similar to an Internet forum. Gmail is noted by web developers for its pioneering [15] [16][17][18] use of Ajax. Gmail runs on Google GFE/2.0 on Linux. As of June 2012, it is the most widely [2][19] used web-based email provider with over 425 million active users worldwide.
