# gmail email
Gmail is an efficient free webmail service which was launched by Google in the year 2007. It started with a provision of 1 GB storage capacity for each user.
The superior features of Gmail made it a popular choice. With the increase of competition among the email service providers Gmail made its mark by introducing the Gmail Login Page on mobile phones. The advanced operations of phones like Blackberry and iPhones allow users an easy accessibility of the Gmail Login Page.
Gmail has become more secured with the HTTPS Protocol. HTTPS stands for Hyper Text Transfer Protocol. A new red label (https) on the screen of the Google Login Page indicates this enhanced security. HTTPS authorizes and encrypts all communication.
The username and password which is provided to the Google Login Page cannot be hacked. This makes Gmail the safest and a highly recommended email service.
