Gmail, known as Google Mail in the United Kingdom and Germany, is a free webmail and POP3 e-mail service provided by Google. Known for its abundant storage and advanced interface, Gmail competes mainly with AIM Mail, Windows Live Mail (also known as MSN Hotmail), and Yahoo! Mail.

Released on April 1, 2004, Gmail rapidly reached a wide range of users, quickly evolving in response to feedback. After two years, Gmail is officially still in beta. Access to the service is limited to those who have an invitation from an existing account holder, from Blogger, or through their mobile phone. Google has stated that the invitation system is intended to reduce the amount of abuse, as spammers are unable to make a large number of accounts, something which they can do with other services like Hotmail or Yahoo! Mail, whose registration is completely open.

On August 9, 2006, Gmail was opened to everyone in Australia and New Zealand without an invitation or Google SMS. On August 23, 2006, Gmail was opened fully to Japan.

While Gmail is not entirely open to the general public yet, most Gmail users have many invites to spare, as Google gives users anything from 0 to 100 free invitations (and frequently replenishes them, as a reward for users who frequently check their Gmail accounts). It is also possible to sign up if one has a mobile phone from Australia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, Turkey, New Zealand, Philippines, or the United States via SMS Signup or a .edu e-mail address from an accredited U.S. institution. One can find free Gmail invites at various Web sites, such as the ones shown under External links or even for sale at online auctions. However, Google has prohibited the sale of Gmail addresses.

The service is notable for providing over 2.7 gigabytes (and counting) of storage space, increased from the original limit of 1 GB. This change was announced on April 1, 2005, and was made for the one-year anniversary of Gmail. The announcement was accompanied by a statement that Google would "keep giving people more space forever." All Google will say about this now is that it will keep increasing by the second as long as they have enough space on their servers. Although Gmail's storage space continuously goes up, Google is increasing the inbox capacity by a nominal four bytes (as of July 31, 2006).

Gmail also has an integrated calendar named "Google Calendar" (formerly CL2) that was launched on April 12, 2006.

Gmail makes intensive use of Ajax (specifically, the AjaXSLT framework), employing modern browser features such as JavaScript and keyboard access keys, allowing for a rich user experience, while retaining the benefits of a web application. Most importantly, the service is available on any computer with a supported browser: Internet Explorer 5.5+, Mozilla Application Suite 1.4+, Firefox 0.8+, Safari 1.2.1+, , Netscape 7.1+. Gmail also offers "Basic HTML view" to allow users to access the Gmail messages from almost any computer running browsers that do not fully support the more advanced features, such as Internet Explorer 4.0+, Netscape 4.07+ or Opera 6.03+. Gmail's Help Center provides a list of fully supported browsers. Gmail has recently also become accessible through WAP-enabled mobile phones. It also works on the PSP web browser, but is not fully supported.

There has been some criticism about Gmail's information and privacy policies. Much of it stems from phrases in Gmail's Privacy Policy which state that Gmail will keep all e-mail for "some time" even if it has been deleted or the account terminated and that Gmail will disclose personal information (including the actual text of e-mails) if it has a "good faith belief" that such a disclosure is necessary for various reasons such to "protect the rights, property or safety of ... the public." Similarly, some privacy advocates criticize the lack of disclosed data retention and correlation policies. More than 30 privacy and civil rights organizations have urged Google to suspend the Gmail service until these issues are resolved.
