5 years back Gmail was introduce to the world. It was April 1st, 2004. I remembered when Gmail was launched at that time I was in my collage and I need to try out Gmail. I was searching for the invitation because at that time it was "invitation only" mode. I called my friend and he told me that he was not holding Gmail account after that he called his friend and his friend called his friend who had Gmail invitation. After that I'm able to set up my Gmail Account. At That time it was in basic HTML and providing 1 gigabyte of free storage with POP. Now it comes to AJAX platform with free storage of 7 gigabytes and still counting.
In this 5 year Gmail add bunch of new thing which makes Gmail a best web based email client. Today it having Gmail Labs with 43 experimental features such as Offline Gmail, YouTube & Picasa preview, at start it come up with inbuilt chat & later come up with voice & video chat. That's not it, Gmail started to provide mobile access & IMAP technology which makes our emails handy. Gmail is providing some very good basic features like email forwarding and unlimited filters which still not available in Free Yahoo & AOL mail.

Gmail provide email view in conversation which is a highly time saver, also labels instead of folders which are more flexible than folder. I remember the day when I suggest the same feature to Yahoo but they come up with nothing. I got that feature in Gmail! ! and from that day I switch to Gmail & become Gmail User from Yahoo Loyal user.
Well, after this 5 years Gmail becomes a popular web based email client which is faster & feature reach but after 5 years it still holding the BETA label. Hopefully Gmail will come out of Beta with its Gmail Labs Graduates.
