With the launch of this new email service, Facebook is going to give the leading web mail providers like Yahoo mail and Gmail a tough time. In the past Google and Facebook had some issues with Gmail contact transfer .Whatsoever is the reason for Facebook’s decision to launch its own web mail system, Facebook users will certainly be benefited the most when they try to import their email contacts into the Facebook or vice versa. Additionally, this integration of Facebook into email system will save much of the users’ time, because only by login to Facebook account a user can check their important mails as well as learn the Facebook updates from their friends and families.

This new email feature is just an enhancement of Facebook messaging. Facebook will gradually roll out this new email feature to every country, at present only Facebook USA users are getting integrated email facility with Facebook messaging. Unlike any conventional email, Facebook email is going to prioritize mails from the people you like the most, and other unimportant mails will be stored in another folder, not in your inbox.

As a Facebook email user, you might expect to have your email address to be yourname@facebook.com and I am expecting to book one email address for me with my hubpages user name-andromida. Yet, any new technology is not safe unless you use it for a while. As I am involved it in IT security field, I am always a bit skeptic about the privacy and security of any new technology. So, as a precaution I will not important all my Gmail and yahoo mail contact into Facebook email at the first instant and I will also check and test their email password recovery process to be sure about the privacy.

Once you logon to your Facebook account, click on the "messages" located on the left side bar of your account and then on the top of your account you will see a option "claim your facebook email"-just click on it.Now, you can type your desired email account name or just select any of the suggested email id.Finally, click on the "activate email" to claim your own facebook email id, that you can use either to send or receive mails like any
normal email systems.

If you are a Gmail or Google fan, you might think that Google might lose their users or may lose Internet market share with the launch of facebook’s web mail. Nevertheless, with the arrival of this new email system, both Yahoomail and Gmail will take initiative to enhance their emailing features and will pay more attention to improve the security and privacy features of their respective email services. As an end user, you can certainly expect to enjoy the benefits of the healthy competition of the web mail business
