12 Good Reasons to Switch to Gmail

• Gmail spam filters block 99% of the spam that usually makes it to your inbox. Although Outlook 2007 had a good spam filter, I still usually got around 2 or 3 emails a week sneaking into my inbox… not with Gmail.
• With Gmail you get to keep your old email account, and all incoming emails will be forwarded to your new Gmail account . Also, emails that you send from your new account will have your old email account in the from area.
• You can create Word docs, PDF’s and spread sheets with Gmail via the use of GoogleDocs.
• Gmail allows you to schedule events with the Google Calendar that will notify you by email to remind you of an appointment or meeting. It can also send a reminder to the person or persons that you will be meeting with.
• Gmail has something called ‘Stars’ and which allows you to tag emails you find important. You can actually do a search for ‘Starred‘ emails and they all pop up, and as quick as a normal google search!
• Your emails are tabbed into a thread, which means you no longer have to look for old emails… it is more like a conversation window.
• You can archive old emails or whole conversations so that you can keep your Inbox clear.
• You can set up filters and labels to keep your Inbox organised and clutter free.
• It has a fast, easy search function which means you will never lose an email again. The search is as fast a normal google search which is ace.
• All your emails are online which means that you access your emails from anywhere, not just one computer.
• Forgot to mention how much space there is with Gmail… you will never have to delete an email again.
• The ‘Canned Responses’ drafts feature is great. When you need to email something over and over, this function will save you a lot of time. justcreativedesign
