That was April 1, 2004. I was super-thrilled when I got the super-exclusive invite because I was a member of Blogger. During those days, I was using a hack to trick Hotmail into giving us 25MB of mail space. When I got GMail's 1 GB, I truly felt like a king! GMail has truly evolved in these 5 years. Here are some of the features, apart from the common ones, that I just love: 1. Keyboard shortcuts (yeah, I actually hate the mouse) 2. Labels (so we have only one copy of mail at any given time) 3. Filters (coupled with the various operators, just awesome!) 4. Strong Spam filtering. 5. Ability to modify your GMail ID with a + sign e.g. mymail@gmail.com and mymail+work@gmail.com would come to the same inbox. Pure genius!! 5. The Undo feature you can use for 5 seconds if you accidentally click on send. A lifesaver!! 6. Mail search. Blazing fast! 7. Grouping related mails into conversations, and the ability to mute a conversation if you are disinterested. Nice! 8. Labs!!! I’ve been a proud user of GMail right from its inception.
