Gmail account

I have gotten a Gmail account, it is great, thanks to Adamass for giving the invitation to me.
 1 G  a full space, what I should do to it, only for email? oh, it is absolutely enough and luxurious,
net hard disk may be a good idea.

While Gmail doesn't currently offer outlook integration, so how can I  know
whether I have new messages without my having to open a web browser, yeah,
there is a nice tool made by Google, it is Gmail Notifier.
