Gmail is one of the most used pieces of software ever, with 1.8 billion users today. In many ways, Gmail defined modern email, transitioning us from the "You've Got Mail" era into the present. Pretty much everyone has used Gmail or another email client that's been inspired by Gmail.
James talks with Gmail's creator, Paul Buchheit, to learn more about how what he built came to be the juggernaut of the email world.
