Initially the email client was available for use only by Google employees internally. Gmail was announced to the public by Google on April 1, 2004.
Most of the people in the world possess Gmail account and use for accessing all the basic websites like Facebook , Twitter etc. Even it is more familiar to companies who keep all the account details, transaction details, passwords etc. They want all these details to be very safe so that no one can access. People may even have fear of losing password or getting hacked by someone.
