1 in April of 2004, Google inaugurated it gmail, a service that has since become one of the largest e-mail platforms in the world.
At first, everyone thought it was a joke, another Google April Fool's prank since the company was only known by machine her search.
Since I was one of the first to get a Gmail account for 2004, I remember the first one that made a terrific impression was the fact that it was giving free space to a whole GB of the company. The forums suddenly gained a very interesting topic of discussion, Google's GB and of course who had invitations for the new service, since it was only made through invitations. Of course I add that getting a Gmail account was very difficult. Google then gave 5 invitations to the person, then gave 10 and then went up to 50. Today anyone can register without invitation.
Gmail was officially released for 7 February 2007.
Unlike many other email clients, Google's Gmail is treated like an app, not a websiteσελίδα. Google built Gmail in a way that doesn't require reloading the entire web page to see the final one user the new messages. It was unthinkable for the time. The company made it a reality using HTML with the addition of some JavaScripts. The idea turned out to be a success, even if many weren't so sure at first.
Today, Gmail is one of the most trusted services email, functionally at least. Users of the Google service get 15 GB of free storage space to share between Google Drive, Gmail and Google+.
since better safety always plays an important role for users, Google provides SSL encryption from the beginning of its service. First it was optional, until it was finally changed to the default setting for everyone.
Back in November and following the NSA scandal, the company upgraded all of its SSL certificates to 2048-bit RSA, effectively doubling its protection for users.
Two weeks ago, Google announced that for added security, Gmail has encrypted all emails, even those that are moving to and from Google data centers. This move came as a reaction to the news that the NSA had penetrated the company's data centers.
