Nintendork Posted November 10, 2006 Posted November 10, 2006 Gmail is e.mail from Google.. it's very good and free. While it is in beta you have to be invited. I have invites for anyone who is still on old fashioned Hotmail. You get 10mb attachments, 2.0+ gigabytes of space so you don't need to delete mail, a world class spam filter, only text adverts, a search feature, fully compliant with Outlook/Thunderbird/Apple Mail. It's pretty much the best.. but it's become a bit of a boys club because you have to know a geek to get invited.. which can be tough. Most people will have it by now if you want it, certainly the chances are slim that you've not heard of it. By the way, it works with MSN and takes about 5 minutes to migrate using multiplatform guides. Any takers?
Cubechris Posted November 10, 2006 Posted November 10, 2006 Late to the party? Or just handing out invites? (Gmail is awesome.)
Nintendork Posted November 10, 2006 Author Posted November 10, 2006 Just handing out invites, I've been on since it was 1gb.
Cube Posted November 10, 2006 Posted November 10, 2006 I've got 3 accounts worth of invites to give out, too. And its over 2.7GB of space now.
arab_freak Posted November 10, 2006 Posted November 10, 2006 Gmail used to be a VIP-only thing, now almost everyone has it. I'll send some invites if anyone's interested. Also, why is Gmail still in BETA for so long?
McPhee Posted November 10, 2006 Posted November 10, 2006 i could do with a new email address tbh, too much spam going to my AOL account. can someone PM me an invite?
Twozzok Posted November 10, 2006 Posted November 10, 2006 I've been using Gmail since it was quite a sought after thing. It's awesome. But yes, i have like 400-odd invites to give out.
triforce_keeper Posted November 10, 2006 Posted November 10, 2006 Send an invite me to please Thanks!
Nintendork Posted November 10, 2006 Author Posted November 10, 2006 Sent Trif' and Caris one, need your e.mail Switch.
Guest Jordan Posted November 11, 2006 Posted November 11, 2006 Just one thing... please stop calling it "e.mail" Its just email! >_>
Shino Posted November 11, 2006 Posted November 11, 2006 People that don't have one yet, don't deserve it.
Nintendork Posted November 11, 2006 Author Posted November 11, 2006 electronic mail. as far as i'm concerned the full stop to acknowledge the abrieviation is perfectly reasonable smart arse.
triforce_keeper Posted November 11, 2006 Posted November 11, 2006 I say E-mail. Anyways does it matter Jordan :/
Tellyn Posted November 11, 2006 Posted November 11, 2006 Oh right I sent you an invite Triforce Keeper....
triforce_keeper Posted November 11, 2006 Posted November 11, 2006 lol thanks but dork already sent me one
Chanser Posted November 12, 2006 Posted November 12, 2006 Anyone from the UK can only use @googlemail.com address sadly.
arab_freak Posted November 12, 2006 Posted November 12, 2006 Nope. I've got some British friends who use @gmail.com :S
Charlie Posted November 12, 2006 Posted November 12, 2006 YOu used to be able to get the @gmail.com one, but not anymore. Although I think if you send to @gmail.com it will redirect to @googlemail.com I'm not sure yet.
darksnowman Posted November 13, 2006 Posted November 13, 2006 Ive noticed some @googlemail.coms going about but Im still just @gmail.com. Gmails snappier than googlemail anyhow.
Mr_Odwin Posted November 13, 2006 Posted November 13, 2006 I believe the change only affects new accounts.
