Do you spend approximately 28% of your work week managing email? That's about one day a week. Gmail, Google's version of email, works hard to minimize the time you spend managing your email. It makes sending, receiving, Task tracking, contact tracking easier. One awesome feature of Gmail is the search options it has. Combine that powerful search with filters, you can easily tag emails or move them into folders with ease. Customize additional options using the Settings ("a gear") in the top right quadrant.
