G&R Gmail

"Gmail" is a Norwegian e-mail system supporting X.400 as well as Internet mail. The vendor name is Gallagher & Robertson (G&R). G&R Gmail is not related to the more well-known Gmail by Google. G&R's Gmail, and their usage of the Gmail name, predates Google's system.

Gallagher & Robertson AS was founded in 1982, and has from that date to the present developed software solutions for office automation and communication between computers.

Software for opening, processing and exchanging electronic mail was included in Gallagher & Robertson's User System, "GRUS", from about 1984. This product was named "Gmail" in 1989, and has since been marketed under this name. Over the years, Gmail-licenses have been sold in a number of different countries, including Norway, USA, Great Britain, Germany, Sweden and Denmark.

In brief, "Gmail" is an electronic mail system for message and file exchange between workstations and multiple platforms in all network environments. The Windows, DOS and UNIX versions of Gmail are 100 % compatible. Users of all three platforms connected to a single LAN can share the same "post office" on a shared file server, and exchange messages with no other form of communication needed. A full set of message transfer agents for communication between post offices on all platforms, over all forms of network, is also available. There is also an X.400 gateway, an Internet gateway and a fax gateway.
