As soon as you have registered in Gmail, you will be directed to your inbox. There, you will see that you have already received your first email: a welcome email from the Gmail team.
At the top of your inbox, you'll see that three tabs have been created for you to help you in your email management: Primary, Social, and Promotions.
These filters are not mandatory — Gmail offers its users many options for inbox customization, including creating personalized filters and labels as well as a personal signature. These options may be found in your Account Settings.
What's the difference between Google, Google Plus, and Gmail?
Google is a search engine that allows you to access millions of webpages by simply entering a set of keywords. Google Plus is Google's social network that allows you to share content and connect with other Gmail users. Gmail is Google's email client that allows you to create and send email messages to your personal or professional contacts.
In creating a Gmail account, you automatically create a Google account, which allows you to access other personalized services such as YouTube, Google Play, and Google Plus.
