Email service offering large storage space lifts user restrictions
15 Feb 2007
Google Mail, the web-based email service from Google, is now available to all UK users.
Officially, the service is still 'in beta', meaning it is undergoing testing. While a 'beta' product, it was restricted to people who had been invited to join, but that restriction has now been lifted.
Launched in 2004 as Gmail, the service's name was changed to Google Mail in the UK after another company pointed out to Google that it already owned the Gmail trademark in this country.
Gmail was the first webmail service to offer a large amount of storage space to all users. At the moment, users are entitled to store 2.8MB of emails and attachments online.
