Gmail is a free, search-based email (Webmail) service, which is accessible from a Web browser anywhere in the world so long as an Internet connection is present.
Google also broke with tradition by offering an interface that organizes messages into threads, and while you can still break these threads into individual messages, it immediately made for a much cleaner inbox.
With your school Gmail account, you have unlimited storage. So you never have to delete messages.
Quickly and Easily Find Messages
Using the Search Box
You can quickly find email messages using the power of Google Search, which is tied into your Gmail allowing for instant results. Simply enter your search criteria in the search field and click the
blue button or hit “enter.” Advanced search operators are query words or symbols that help you refine your search. They perform special actions that allow you to quickly and easily track down what you’re looking for
One of the great things about Gmail is the ability to email a large attachment. You can send messages up to 25 megabytes (MB) in size. If you’d like to send attachments that are larger than this, you can insert from Google Drive instead.
