How To Switch To Gmail from Outlook

There are several benefits to switching from Outlook, or any installed Email application, to Google Email or Gmail.  The benefits include:

• No monthy fees to use Google and Gmail.  If you are currently using Outlook with MS Exchange Server, you are paying a monthly fee per Email account.
• Google Email is hosted on the "Cloud", which means you can access your Email from almost anywhere.  You do not need to be seated at your own computer
• Google Email is connected with 100's of free, or low cost, 3rd party applications.  When you log into your Google account, you are automatically logged into your other 3rd party applications. Many of these applications share common data with Google, like your Contact list.
