Gmail is built on the idea that email can be intuitive, efficient, and useful. And maybe even fun.
Labels instead of folders
Labels do the work of folders with an extra bonus: a conversation can have

Archive instead of delete
You shouldn't ever have to throw things away. Archiving moves messages out of
your inbox and into "All Mail," so they don't clutter your inbox but remain

messages in the context of your conversation. Related messages are stacked
neatly on top of each other, like a deck of cards.

webcam and a small
