Gmail’s Creation
Paul Buchheit created Gmail in 2004 while working at Google. It started as a small project. His goal was to improve email organisation.
Big Storage Offer
Gmail gave users 1 GB of storage, which was much more than other email services at that time. This set a new standard for email services.
Easy Search Function
Gmail made it easy for users to search through their emails, a new and helpful feature. It saved time and simplified managing emails.
Labels, Not Folders
Instead of folders, Gmail uses labels to organise emails, making it simpler to find messages. Users could categorise emails in multiple ways.
Google’s 20% Time
Paul worked on Gmail during Google’s 20% time policy, where employees could use some time for personal projects. This encouraged innovation.
April Fool’s Day Launch
Gmail was launched on April 1, 2004, and many people thought it was a joke because of its huge storage offer. But it was a real game-changer.
