Independent International Investment Research, a British company that specialises in research and has several leading City investment banks as clients, argues that it launched "G-MailTM web based email" in May 2002.
IIR's version of G-Mail was developed by one of its subsidiaries, Pronet, which specialises in research about the currency markets for banks and other financial institutions.
The idea was that subscribers to its research could use G-Mail to disseminate it and discuss it over the web confidentially.
The development came nearly two years before Google unveiled its own branded e-mail service, known at "GMailTM".
