What is the best emailing system?


You get used to using a particular email client and this becomes your way of life.

Personally I have tried lots of different programs but I keep coming back to GMail.


Why?

  1. It's Free
  2. It's Simple
  3. It's easily set up on every device
  4. When you change your computer, there is no drama
  5. Your backup of emails is secure
  6. You also get a lot of Free Stuff such as
  7. 15 GB Online backup synchronization facility
  8. Calendar
  9. Easy integration into other products
  10. And did I mention that it is FREE?


Technique

  1. Sign up for a GMail Account
    1. Choosing a name can be difficult. You don't have to choose a perfect email address
    2. You can actually set up your domain to work with GMail: https://apps.google.com/products/gmail/ and set up the email addresses you require
    3. Configure the settings to suit your needs: https://support.google.com/mail/answer/6562?hl=en
  2. If you have an existing email account, you can re-direct emails to you GMail
    1. Go into your primary email account system, usually on-line
    2. Locate your account or re-direction features
    3. Set up your new GMail address to receive a copy of your normal email address
    4. Test by sending an email to your address and seeing that it also comes to your GMail address
  3. Use the GMail online browser to view emails
  4. Set up your Android with your GMail account: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gm&hl=en


Replying to Emails

If you switch over to GMail fully, you do not need to concern yourself with reply addresses.

However if you want to reply to an email with a different email address than the GMail Address, see:https://support.google.com/mail/answer/22370?hl=en

Summary

It's a matter of choice but there is no particular reason why anyone would need to use a different email client than GMail.

Emails are actually a huge time and money waster. The issue is unlikely to go away so the trick is to evolve an email management system that keeps your inbox empty!
