You must have a valid and active Google account prior to using this email
client.
Gmail is web-based: Your messages are stored online, on
G
Google™ servers, but you can read, write, and organize
messages by using the Gmail application on your device or a
web browser on a computer. Because your mail is stored on
Google servers, you can search your entire message history,
backed by the speed and power of Google search. Any actions
taken in the Gmail phone application are reflected on the web
browser. For example, if you read a message in Gmail on your
device, it will be marked as read in a Web browser. And a
message that you send using a browser, or even a draft of a
message, is visible in Gmail on the device.
Gmail is conversation-based: Every related message is grouped
G
in your Inbox as a single conversation tread. In other email
applications, replies to messages are sent as individual
messages, making it difficult to keep track of related messages.
Gmail makes it easy to follow conversations with its
conversation threads.
