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

Now that's an incentive.

[Archeus]

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.

[VampeD]

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:

[Archeus]

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?

[Archeus]

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

[Archeus]

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