Google launched Gmail on April 1, 2004, as an April Fool's surprise. Today, it is the most widely used email service globally, with an estimated 1.8 billion active accounts. In its early days, Gmail offered 1GB of storage per account, a significant leap from the capacity provided by other webmail services.
