Differences between email & Gmail addresses

An email is a messaging software connected to the internet to receive and send messages from one source (person) to another (person). We cannot overemphasize the use of email addresses, it works very much.

As it’s been known, the message between two people is very fast with the use of an email address.

Before you can do some things on the internet, for example, to comment on some websites, your email/Gmail address is required.

The Gmail address and email address are pronounced as if they are the same while they don’t. But, today in this article you will know the difference between them.

First of all, the Gmail address should not be written as gmail address because it stands for Google Mail.

Below are the additional differences between email and Gmail addresses;

• Gmail is an email address powered by Google while the email address is the collection of Yahoo Mail, Google mail, Zoho mail, Bing mail, etc.
• With Gmail, you can use Google’s tools and services for free, for example, search something on the Google web browser, use YouTube, advertise on Google, etc. 
• For example, if you have an email address managed to you by Google, Yahoo, Zoho, etc., their names are Gmail, Yahoomail, Zoho mail, etc. respectively and all of them are called your email addresses.
• The first capital letter in an email address identifies the email manager. For example, Gmail identifies Google Mail and Yahoomail identifies Yahoo Mail.
• It should be understood that where ever your email address is requested, you can put down your Gmail address yahoo mail, or Zoho mail in that email address requested box.
• Every email address provider works similarly and any of them can make you get an email address but Gmail by Google is the best one we recommend.
