Elon Musk announced XMail, a new email service competing with Gmail

Mr. Elon Musk said that the new email service will be integrated with the X application but did not provide any further details about the service's features, launch date or price.

The news comes amid the emergence of a phishing image that looks like an official Google email suggesting that the popular Google email service will be shut down in August 2024.

Immediately afterwards, Google quickly denied the rumors. Google affirms that Gmail is still 'here', and has just updated its interface to make it friendlier and more colorful.

However, some people are still confused by this rumor and have expressed interest in trying XMail as an alternative.

Some experts believe that the emergence of XMail could change the game in the email service industry over the past decade with Gmail dominating. According to Demand Sage, a market research company, as of 2024 Gmail has more than 1.8 billion active users worldwide.

XMail has advantages over Gmail, such as being more secure, easy to customize, and integrating with other X products, said Rhea Freeman, a social media strategist. However, Elon Musk's new email service may face challenges such as convincing users to switch from their existing email accounts, complying with data protection regulations and competing with other services. other emails like Outlook, Yahoo and ProtonMail.
