Anyone intrested in a Gmail account?

Gekigengar · Post by **Gekigengar** » Mon Feb 21, 2005 2:42 am

Well, if anyone is interested, 10 first post (not pm's) will get one. I will then click the email button on the post and send invite that way. If your email is private, I will PM you for your email.

Those that received one from me and activated it, please send invite to those that did not receive one as well.

what IS a gmail account?

Well that's 2, 8 more to go.

BTW, forgot to mention... you can also use your email client software to download Gmail as well... ie: outlook, mozilla, eudira, etc.

Just use the pop feature and follow the instructions to set it up.

I've got one thanks to some nice people before

The best thing about gmail is the vast improvments that were made to Yahoo and hotmail due to it comming around

Gmail is an experiment in a new kind of webmail, built on the idea that you should never have to delete mail and you should always be able to find the message you want. The key features are:

Search, don't sort.
Use Google search to find the exact message you want, no matter when it was sent or received.

Don't throw anything away.
1000 megabytes of free storage so you'll never need to delete another message.

Keep it all in context.
Each message is grouped with all its replies and displayed as a conversation.

No pop-up ads. No untargeted banners.
You see only relevant text ads and links to related web pages of interest.

And a log in page that looks like the old* yahoo log in page.

So, basically nothing.

* Old for yahoo mail, current for everything else, including "username/password incorrect"

Well my ISP email service is caped at 5 mb, my hotmail caped at 10 mb... I got coworkers that need to send email attachments almost 2 or 3 times as much since I help develop multimedia presentations... at time I have to send them as one whole piece that regular email service by my ISP would say "no... that is considered 'SPAM' email.", there are at times that the person sending me my projects would get an auto bounce back email stating that same reason.

This makes working at home much easier and plausible.

BTW, 4 invites done and 6 more to go... Fort Max are you interested?

Quite true indeed... but after inviting these 10 ppl, then they should be able to invite the next 10 more... ala pyramid scheme.

Your welcome Eline

Just got this email from M$N... looks as though they want more of money in order to access certain features of Hatemail... I mean Hotmail.
