Why Gmail?

Free email service is probably one of the true values among all other internet resources and services, that truly makes the world a better place to live. It has definitely made life easier and empowers our communication system. Thanks to free services such as Yahoo, Hotmail and Gmail, we enjoy a great deal of time on the internet sending and receiving hundreds to thousand of emails a year. But unfortunately, free is not really a perfect reliability.

You might lose some hair recently if your business relies entirely on Gmail as you know the speed is sluggishly unbearable. Well beggars can’t be choosers but  just hang on with what is available on a free service. Since early this year, many users have been experiencing slow service on their Gmail. Many speculations have been made that include the effects by Norton anti virus, firewall, imcompatibility issues with software and could probably be an encryption problem since some claimed that their Gmail service works better after turning off the https.

Aside from all these disruption of service and outages that happened several times on last year, there are other reasons that perhaps you can consider going for a different option. When using a free email service, there are a few things that you might need to compromise, that include the security, advertisement, speed, spam and more importantly privacy.

Privacy of email is probably one of the more important factor that should be taken into account when using a free email service. Whether personal or private emails, Gmail scans through all of them indiscriminately and block emails that are consider to be a threat to the system or you. So  it goes through every single email and its content. Aside from that, non subscribers that sent emails to other gmail accounts will also have their emails scan though they may not accept the terms and conditions set by Gmail like their users.

The huge email capacity of 7.5 gb is probably one of the best consideration for using Gmail. But if the concern of reliability and privacy may be your higher concern, you might want to opt for a better choice of email service. Try others or webserver’s email for up to 10 GB. Other turn off  things that you might not like when using a free email service is the annoying advertisements.

On technical limitations Gmail users are also not allowed to send or receive executable files even ones that are comprised within a file. This can be a big drawback for many people trying to send business programs that are in the execution format. Aside from that Gmail also has a rule of locking down the service for 24 hours if it the algorithm detects user sending large number of files in a short time.
