I'VE been a fan of Gmail of all time since Google launched the test interpretation of its on the loose Web letters resource in 2004. At the time, Google created moderately a hoo-ha by subject matter one computer memory unit (GB) of storage while Microsoft was offer a trifling 2 megabytes (MB) on Hotmail and Yahoo had a 6MB curb on its acquit electronic mail work. The two have since caught up, and Yahoo now offers illimitable storage-but since I haven't move push to to victimisation up my 2.8 GB on Gmail in the ultimate two years, and I genuinely know the competency to in the blink of an eye scrabble finished all my e-mail, Yahoo's up-to-the-minute cut really wasn't a big settlement to me.

Google has further features to Gmail since it was introduced iii old age ago, but numerous much enhancements are going spare from third-party developers who have prolonged its functionality by penning add-ons to the Firefox watcher.

To get these extensions in Firefox, go to the Tools carte and elect to choose Add-ons, afterwards sound on the Get Extensions linkage on the apposite stand niche of the pop-up skylight. This opens up the Mozilla Firefox Add-ons page wherever you can poke about for the extensions you demand. Once you breakthrough them, click on the Install Now knob and Firefox will download and place it, and put together it at your disposal the next juncture you occurrence up the spectator.

Here are few of the first-class Gmail extensions:

Better Gmail. Most extensions do a short time ago one thing, but Better Gmail packs 25 new features into Google's e-mail service, fashioning it a must-have accessory for all important Gmail users. These features embrace the merging of Google Reader for RSS feeds; icons that narrate you at a looking at the field of profile attached; a bar graph of the retention outer space used and remaining; a phone call advertizing panel that can be activated by right-clicking an electronic communication entry; new consultation options; more device shortcuts; and skins that evolution the way Gmail looks-including a truly biting fake of the Mac e-mail buyer. (Another extension, Gmail Skins, lets you pick the colour of your inbox, but I found it questionable.) A caveat: the revision of Better Gmail on the Mozilla Add-ons parcel of land is old and does not have all the most modern features. The newer newspaper (0.8) can be saved on the Lifehacker piece of land (just Google "Better Gmail").

Gmail Manager. Gmail Manager can send word you of incoming mail in manifold Gmail acounts. Running the gnawing animal gauge complete the post indicator at the nethermost apt recess of the watcher windowpane reveals list astir the acount, with uninformed messages, ransomed drafts, the magnitude of storage used, and snippets of any new correspondence. As a bonus, you can likewise use Gmail Manager to create messages to course on any Web folio uncap up a Gmail design figure. While this side is also lendable in Better Gmail, I prefer Gmail Manager's approach, because it premier asks you which of aggregate accounts you'd similar to to use to move the email.

Gspace. This time lag allows you to use your Gmail story to sales outlet files. After installation, a Gspace item appears in the Tools menu. Choosing it opens a tab that lets you log into your Gmail reason and imitate files to and from it. This plant suchlike Gmail Drive on Windows, gDisk on the Mac or GmailFS for Linux , but because it's browser-based, Gspace will manual labour on any of the three chopines.

E-mail this! Not all Web sites have a interconnect that will enable you to soon electronic mail a leaf to a crony. This extension, primitively called Gmail this! now supports Hotmail and Yahoo Mail too. Simply right-click on an untaken point on a folio and single out E-mail This and select which provision you want to use. The hold opens up a new electronic communication form next to the relation glued onto the the unit of the electronic communication statement.

Even short these enhancements, Gmail is an unrivalled Web-based electronic mail punter. With them installed, it's tough to batter.
