| Please keep sending me your replies after reading the article and keep asking me the questions about the things which you want to learn about. WHAT I NEED IS JUST A REPLY OR A FEEDBACK FROM YOU GUYS
First of all I want to make it very much clear that this article is not about which email service is the best or has more features and other benefits. It's my personal opinion which I find it quite valid after a thorough research and working experience, and it's quite debatable 
Most of us have more than 1 email account for different purposes, but we always have 1 primary account which we use for our important correspondences and online services. And if that particular account doesn't belongs to Gmail, then you are missing hell of things and not thinking about the future at all. I know It's very difficult to switch from your other primary email account to Gmail, but it's a high time to make such a decision. Though It will take some time for your contacts to realize the change, but it will be beneficial for you in long run in many ways.
Why Gmail
Gmail is one of the prime services which Google provides and once you make an account at Gmail, you can easily access and integrate all of the Google services which includes Blogger, Google+, YouTube, Google Maps, Tasks, Google Calendar, Google Drive, Google Voice, Google Talk, Google Wallet, Android Play Store, Google Apps to name a few.
|  | All of the above services (and many other) are immensely integrated with each other (depends how you use them), which makes your life more easy and automated. Especially after the release of Android based phones, Gmail has become more stronger and essential (since without a Gmail ID you can't configure you mobile or use other services). No offence to Apple lovers, but Android is taking the major share of the market and is climbing high on the skies like a rocket. In the coming years (or months) most of the mobiles will carry Android OS, and then you will be left with no option but to use Gmail account as a primary ID, so why not make a decision today. |
It doesn't mean that you can't configure other email accounts on your Android phones, but my point is to take the advantage of the Gmail power and utilize it at its fullest. Once your Gmail ID becomes a primary ID, then each and every service on your mobile will be integrated to it. You will get all the notifications, alerts in your inbox. You can manage all of the Google services from your Mobiles as well and that's in a very easy way (that was so obvious).
Most important fact is that we can't deny the power of Google, it has become immensely popular and it's services are quite reliable and stable. Google is investing lot of money on its services in order to make our lives more automated, simple and easy. Google is continuously updating and making the valuable changes in its different services to enhance our work experience and to make us more social. So why not invest your energy, time and more important build your trust on such a company which really is putting lot of efforts on its services.
Gmail Important Or Let's Say Cool Features
|  | Well I just can't underline each and every feature of Gmail here, but can tell you about the most significant ones and will try to highlight those things which can make you switch to the Gmail account. |
Google Search · Being a Google service, the first thing which comes in your mind is Fast Searching and that's what it's all about. Google has embedded its powered search engine in their Email service as well, which can be used not only for your emails but for web searching as well. 
· Using Google keywords (Search Operators), you can find any email within a second, doesn't matter how old it really was
Gmail Labels · Gmail doesn't have a folders option (means you cannot create separate folders for different category or people). Instead it has a very unique and great feature which makes it extremely useful, called Labels.  · In any other email account, once you put your email in any 1 folder, you can't put it in any other folder. What If you want to have the same copy of an email at 2 different folders. Well in Gmail, an email can have more than one label (as many you want), that's what makes it easy for you to search for your emails and to categorize them in a fantastic way. · You can color your labels as well for easy recognition.
Google Talk (Messenger) | · Since Google Talk (Google Messenger) is also embedded in the Gmail, all of your email contacts, including everyone that you emailed are added to your Google Chat contact list (if they are on Gmail as well) · Within the Gmail web interface, you can chat with your Contacts, can make voice call and can also do Video chat · The best part of Google talk is that all of your chat conversations are logged in Gmail. Means Gmail keeps the record of your chat messages for future references. And as I said above, using Google powered search you can easily search for your chat conversations within Gmail as well |  | Gmail Security · With the option of Gmail 2-step verification, if someone manages to guess or crack your password, he won't be able to login to your account unless he enters the second verification code as well, which was sent to your mobile · Once you open you Gmail account, you just don't have to worry about viruses, spywares, Trojans, malwares etc. Google constantly updates its servers with the virus tracking softwares to give you the most accurate anti-virus protection possible. Since emails are stored at the Gmail servers, all of your attachments and contents are guaranteed to be virus free. · Gmail spam filtering is pretty neat and most of the time it's accurate.
Things which will enhance your email experience · Gmail offers you free POP3 and IMAP service. You can configure Mozilla Thunderbird, Ms-Outlook or any other email client software with Gmail at no cost. · You can Send bulks of email from Gmail without getting blocked by Google. You can send as many emails you want in a day from Google without any issues (don't act like a spammer atleast or else you will definitely get blocked) · Gmail groups your email correspondences and show them in a thread view. Based on subject, Gmail easily combines all the emails (send and receive) and show the correspondences within the email for your reference, which makes it more easy to reply the sender by viewing all the emails in a single interface.  · You can attach a file upto 25MB, but that depends if your friend can receive it or not. If he is at Gmail, then he can receive your files. Most of the other email accounts won't allow you to attach or receive an email of more than 5MB or 10MB in size. · Recently Google has upgraded its Gmail service by enabling users to send mails with a file attachment of 10GB. Though it's only possible if your files are uploaded at Google Drive. You can insert files from Google Drive directly into an email without leaving your Gmail.  · One of the great features of Gmail is that I not only can forward my emails from other account to Gmail, but can also send emails from Gmail using any other account name. It means, I can send emails from Gmail with Yahoo, Hotmail or any other work email ID as a sent email address. You can add as many email accounts you want, and while sending out emails, just have to choose which sender email account you have to use. · Gmail has another very interesting and unique feature called Google Labs, consider it like a add-on (plug-ins) for your email account. These little add-ons enhances your user experience and can make a big difference. But these extra features are just an experimental things made by normal users like you (public programmers) and are not a permanent feature of Gmail.  · There are various web services which you can use with Gmail in order to enhance your email work experience. Web Services will act like Add-On or Plug-ins to your Gmail account. For e.g. Attachments.me gives you ability to save your Gmail attachments on the cloud storage, Boomerang gives you ability to schedule your mail deliveries at anytime in the future etc. Believe me, this post is going nowhere and It looks like I will keep writing about it like forever.
Last Words
Gmail is just full of features and it gives you a great email experience. And as I said above, that it's a high time to make a Gmail account and start moving your contacts from your other email account to Gmail.
