Seems unbelievable doesn't it, but Google mail, or Gmail. has been around for 5 years.  There#s been a lot of improvements and enhancements since the inception of Gmail. One thing about Google, love it or loathe it,  it just doesn't stand still. Here's a frw things from the last yesr:

• Send mp3s as attachments, there's a play button to listen to them in the email .
• Added security, see whos logged in and where from
• Public opinion persuades Google to enhance contacts
• Gmail goes mobile, acess gmail from mobile phone

Keep going Google
