About Gmail
Gmail is Google's hosted email service. It filters spam and malware, encrypts messages in transit, and Google states it does not use Gmail content to personalise ads.
Gemini AI features help draft and polish emails, suggest replies and summarise long threads. Natural-language search of the inbox is a premium feature that requires a Google AI Pro or Ultra plan. Gmail is available in the browser and as apps for Android and iOS.
