Gmail is an experiment in a new kind of webmail, built on the idea that you should never have to delete mail and you should always be able to find the message you want.

• Search, don't sort.
  Use Google search to find the exact message you want, no matter when it was sent or received.

• Don't throw anything away.
  Over 2000 megabytes (and counting) of free storage so you'll never need to delete another message.

• Keep it all in context.
  Each message is grouped with all its replies and displayed as a conversation.
