I know that people, some people anyway, who are in the beta have somthing called an invite, or something, where they can give people an oportunity to try out their new email system. Is there anyone here who has one? I'm curious and I'd like to try it out. Thanks.

Exactly what is Gmail anyway?

Gmail is Google Mail, they provide 1gb of storage free to you! I've been using it for a month or so now with no complaints. It's very slick, but I dont get into the details now.

Sadly I do not have any invites at this time. Some people get em at 6 a whack, I've only ever gotten 1.

If you hear of anybody with invites, have them throw one my way. I need to get away from hotmail, doesn't provide nearly enough storage.

Someone gave me an Invite and I've been using It, But If I can get one, or two, I'll let you guys no. I haven't recieved one yet though.

Ive been looking for one too.

oldmanken · « **Reply #6 on:** August 13, 2004, 09:44:37 am »

I think anybody who knows anything about GMail is salivating at the chance to get in on the beta. What is it, one or two gigs storage, plus completely and easily searchable...*drool*.

Might want to make this a Sticky so If we get them, we can list the peeps wanting one .

Ho much space does Hotmail allot per person? Yahoo just upped theirs to 100mb in a move to try and keep people there.

Hotmail gives two megs at the moment, though I hear they are going to be upping that to much more soon (twenty megs). If they do that's still not enough, plus the interface for hotmail is a pain in the ass.

Wow, that isn't much at all. No attachments either of appreciable size. Yahoo used to be 4mb and that was terrible. I had to stop usig it for school because it would fill up so dang fast with emails from group members that I would lose things. That wasn't very nice.

Yup, gmail is cool, been using it almost since the beta went out. Got 3 invites parked, kinda helps when a relative works for google industries

oldmanken · « **Reply #13 on:** August 16, 2004, 09:44:37 am »

How exactly do the invites work...are you alotted a certain number when you create your account, or are they given at random?

By parked, do you mean you have already used them? If they haven't been used, would you mind throwing one my way? Thanks.

Okay. it doens't look as if there is anyone here who has an invite. Which is fine as I just got one from my cousin! I as just giving him my other email addy and mentioned that I'd like to get a gmail account and, low and behold, there was an invite in my inbox. Cool beans, eh?

oldmanken · « **Reply #17 on:** August 20, 2004, 07:16:43 am »

Lucky bugger!!!

Sirgod · « **Reply #18 on:** August 20, 2004, 01:11:21 pm »

I haven't recieved any Invite notices myself yet, But If I do, I will gladly share them with you all.

BTW the searchable Email Feature just rocks.

I havne't gotten enough email through it to have to use the search functions.

I now have 5 emaili addresses that people can use to contact me so this one isn't going to be used much. I just wanted to check i out. Oh, and the 1gb storage is nice when people send you very large files and pictures that might not be allowed through my ISP email.
