~~~Introduction~~~
Welcome to my review about google mail, google mail is sooo easy to use and lots of people use it, mostly the google toolbar(which I'm going to talk about in my review), for the search it is better than the live search, yahoo search and the AOL search. in this review you will find out about the toolbar, signing up, contacts, spammers, what languages google has and the history of google.
~~~Signing up~~~
All you have to do is just click sign up for google mail and then it will take you to the sign in page which you have to write your name(all the emails do the same thing), Your Desired Login Name(which is what do you want to name your email their examples are JSmith, John.Smith @ googlemail.com, they have only got this just googlemail.com not like yahoo and hotmail.com, then you have to check it's availability if someone has the same username, so you have to change it then you have to check it again to see if
it's available.
if you continue to do a password for your email they will say if your password is too short it could be too short is like one word two words to eight words then weak I don't know for that, if it's for strong nine words or above then you have to type your password again all emails do the same thing. (don't they have medium).
the next step is if you want google to remember you on the computer (not you your email) I would say no so you don't have to click the box, if you want to just click the box, the next step is google said Creating a Google Account will enable Web History. Web History is a feature that will provide you with a more personalised experience on Google that includes more relevant search results and recommendations. Learn More(I don't want to)if you want to click the box if you want to enable the web history just click the box, if you don't want to don't click the box. The next step is your security question the questions are what is your primary frequent flyer number, the next one is what is your library card number, what was your first phone number, the next question is what was your first teachers name, write my own question (that's good so you can write anything) then you have to write the answer for one of the questions that you have answered, the security question is if you forget you password you can choose the question that you chose for your email and the answer so you can recover your email the next step is secondary email, google have said This address is used to authenticate your account should you ever encounter problems or forget your password.
If you do not have another email address, you may leave this field blank(that's good, I can leave it blank, the next step is to choose your location, that means where you live, then you have to write these letters below netradicap, then you have to read the google terms and conditions when you click I accept that means that you agree to the google terms and condition, then you click I accept. Create my account. If there is something that you have missed it will say Required field cannot be left blank
~~~The google toolbar~~~
The google toolbar is very good and lots of people use it has the best search results than , live search, AOL search or yahoo search, it is easy to install when you want to install you have to put which buttons you want to have in your toolbar I have put search UK, browse or search with google discussion results, browse or search or new articles, find products for sale, search within your area or neighbourhood, search for your own computer, add buttons to your toolbar, look up a definition, search is google maps and many more.
here are some buttons that you can add are google maps, YouTube Channel Gadget (very good, so is it like a shortcut?), CNN(some boring news), GOOGLE MAP SEARCH(maps no way), Wikipedia( the hotmail toolbar has that, also you can download it on your computer from hotmail, maybe google is the same), Driving Directions (it's good if you don't know the place), Hotmail(cool so you can check your email now that's cool), Gmail(alright you can check your account), BBC News Feeds (not that good), Weather Map (that's good if you want to know what the weather is but yahoo and hotmail have that when you first open the email).
Unfortunately the google search for me, isn't good (although I have the new one) because when you search something this message turns out from nowhere it says an error has occurred in the google toolbar.Internet explorer will close click send or don't send, that's all what I know what it says and something else, it's a shame that it happened sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't work, if you want to search anything you can open google images and press the web button, that works, the google search is the best in my opinion, the live search isn't that good and the yahoo.
~~~The history of google~~~
Not a lot of people know who the google manufacturers are so I will tell you who they are Larry Page and Sergey Brin, google was originally called googol (it's a weird name).
The after founders: the after founders are Sergey Brin and Larry Page(so the founders stayed the same), it all happened that they received a cheque made out to google, so they made the nasme tyo be google.
~~~Languages~~~
The can make googlemail in your language, and google mail has more than twelve languages they are English , French, Dutch, German, , Japanese , Italian, Portuguese ,Korean, Spanish, Russian, and Chinese, that's good so you can choose the language that you understand.
~~~Spammers~~~
Google mail blocks the spams from you, if it is somebody you don't know it puts it in the spam section and if it has different writing than English it throws it sometimes spams come into your inbox the you tick the box and press the button report spam, when you haven't deleted the spam messages for thirty days it will delete it for you, when you want to delete your spam messages you can tick the box and press delete forever or you can press all and then delete forever or you can press Delete all spam messages now (messages that have been in Spam more than 30 days will be automatically deleted), that deletes the spam messages, plus if you have like 24 spams it will say spam(24), that's good.
~~~Contacts~~~
You can add contacts and you can import your yahoo contacts to google(isn't that good?) , also you can import contacts from outlook express(not that good lots of emails can do that like hotmail), after that if you want to fill in your name and that stuff you can just click auto fill and it fills it(that's better instead of just taking your time to write your name , surname and that stuff).
~~~Conclusion~~~
Overall this is a very good email to be used and this features a lot of stuff so I will rate it 9.9 out of ten because the search stopped working, every time you search a message comes out ,so you can't see any thing but if the message didn't come out it would be 10 out of ten.
this is really good, the search is better than others so I would rate it 9.9 out of ten and now you know why I rated it like that, I would rate the toolbar 10 out of ten(this is my first time that I have rated something like that, if it wouldn't have been good I wouldn't have rated it like that, the email it's self 10 out of ten, because you can do lots of stuff, and if you opened your email and your looking in the google tab it says googlemail inbox 2 for an example.

Review of Google Mail (Gmail.com)
Advantages: 2086 MB storage space, searching for emails is based on the Google search engine, still fairly new so good email addresses are up for grabs, email grouping to form a conversation Disadvantages: Attachments are limited in size to 10 MB, Cannot import contacts from AOL at the present time.
Advantages: Easy to search and navigate around, some nice unique features, lots of storage, its free Disadvantages: Takes a while to get used to some of the more unique features
