About Gmail
Gmail is a free, advertising-supported email service offered as part of Google Workspace (formerly G Suite). With 15GB of email storage provided for free, users can access Gmail as secure webmail, as well as via POP3 or IMAP4.
Gmail automatically sorts emails into separate, customizable tabs (e.g. Primary, Social, Promotions, Updates) which users can add or remove as desired. Both inbound and outbound messages can be translated into other languages in Gmail, where users can also respond to invites, track packages, and leave reviews, without leaving the app.
Starring and custom color labels let users neatly organize email threads (conversations), while Google-powered search allows users to locate messages from any thread, quickly and easily.
With Gmail's Hangouts, users can instant message with others, as well as host video calls with up to 15 participants, straight from their inbox. The platform is accessible from any mobile device, via either native mobile apps for Android or iPhone/iPad, or via a native mobile web app.
Key benefits of Gmail
• Choose a professional looking custom email - e.g. [email protected] - for your company and team members to use.
• Host video meetings with up to 15 participants, straight from your Gmail inbox, with Hangouts.
• Access your email account on Android, iPhone, and Blackberry devices, via native mobile apps or the Gmail mobile web app.
• Automatically sort and label incoming emails with Gmail's color-coded inbox filters, similar to 'folders' in old email programs, but emails can have multiple labels applied.
• Recall or 'unsend' emails for a short period of time after you've clicked "send".

Gmail is the best email service that anyone can have. All the associate service and integration that can be done with Gmail like Google Docs or Google Meet has help me to have more power and control to help managing my daily task better.
Pros
No email hosting software has do the job that Gmail has done. Managing email, auto sign-up for website, access to Google Suite and many more can be done with Gmail account. Gmail also can be upgraded to business account, which i can have my own domain email and using Gmail email hosting service to managing all the incoming email.
Cons
Getting a customer support service from Google is not as easy as it should be. I need to email them and wait for several days for them to finally response to my email, and no option to connect to the support service by phone for my country.

I like google because it is simple to use. I just would like to have a few features like marking or flagging important emails.
Pros
It's basic and easy to use if you just want an email to use.
Cons
It is harder to sort through emails. It don't see how you can categorize the emails easily. I have yet to see a way to prioritize the emails I am sending. I would like to be able to flag or mark those emails I want to return to so I can read later but there is not an easy way to flag/mark them.

We didn't really want to use Gmail but there are very few alternatives for our business. We use Google Workspace for our company so unfortunately we are king of stuck with Gmail rather than choosing it ourselves. This is mainly due to the fact we we already pay for Gmail storage.
Pros
Integrating our customised business email addresses into Gmail is probably the most useful feature Gmail provides.
Cons
From the start of using Gmail for our business email addresses we constantly get a "something is wrong" alert on our accounts. Formatting doesn't work when cut and pasting other fonts or colours, and the general experience of Gmail is, well, clunky, if that's the word. While it offers lots of custom features it is hard to find out how to use them as the support is just a Google Forum, therefore spending far too long trying to find the right answer. Finally the limit to file size attachments is frustrating. As a media company I send large attachments and after surpassing the 25mb limit a link is then provided to the other remailing attachments. I'm then going back and reducing file sizes as it doesn't look professional in my opinion.

Very positive. Don't think I'll ever use something else.
Pros
I really like the ease of use across multiple platforms. I've used it for personal and professional needs and it always provides way to share and access information quickly.
Cons
The "sign in with google" feature is really nice, but it's a great way to over subscribe your account and start getting blown up by an innumerable amount of emails.
