First person to answer gets it.

I WANT a .... sorry hate changing mail accounts

but I'm sure some people here would love it

ooooooooh me plz

SiL ..:..

Sorry it's already gone :/

I will get more.. have you two on the next list (gotten 14 in two weeks so far).

me me me.

SiL look hot Goth chick over there.

muhahahha distracted him now.

*jumps que in front of SiL*

If I get a G-mail account, I will reduce my spamming by 70%.

Now that's an incentive.

I got more.. but... they are all gone.

Good news is though that those who asked here so far should of got an invite. Check your PM/email.

bah. meh meh meh. Dont leave me out in the cold. YOU cant take sil gauy hell everyone else and leave me here. **Cries** :cry:

Could of sworn I sent a PM to Sil, If not Sil whats your internet email address. Likewise VampD as I don't have any more invites (except Sils) but I have someone who has one spare.

Do it quick though.

Maybe I'm missing something here but, well, what's so great about Gmail? All I've heard is that it has a different approach to email chain organisation and that you can store up to 1000mb of email.

Nothing you can't do in five minutes with Outlook, surely?

You would have to use it to see.

Posted this before but here is what it has so far (bare in mind that google are continually adding features/changing UI as its beta).

- Thread Stacking (which is great if you are on a heavy mailing list).
- Stacks/removes inlined text to make it neater.
- Advanced Spam filter
- Custom filters
- Fast customizable search system.
- Keyboard shortcuts.
- Dynamic Address book (learns as you send/recieve emails) with fast search for fields.
- Personal level indicators (tells you how relevent the mail is to you)
- Snippets option on mail list.
- Uses labels instead of folders. As well as starring messages (which is like a label afaik).

I should point out you can find a mail that you want very fast and the whole system is very fast.

There are also plugins available.
Gmail Notifier - checks email and pops up messages
GmailFS - For linux only, converts your mailbox into a file server you can mount.

It takes a little getting used to, but once you have you will find old email annoying to use.

*lol* Sounds like it has one or two useful features but it's hardly revolutionary (though I'll admit that outlook + lots of email = achingly slow). I cant help but think that everyone's getting carried away as it's a "oh, oh, I got into a closed beta!" kind of thing.

Still, I dont want to rain on anyone's parade if having a Gmail account makes them feel all warm and fuzzy

Like I said once you get used to it, you realise how much better it is.
