vietpost 0 Report post Posted September 18, 2004 I have heard of Gmail for a long time but I don't know how to sign up one for myself. Can you guys tell me how to register ? I am currently using my 1mg mail at http://www.walla.co.il/ . This mail is really great, but I don't know if it can compete with Gmail . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chronogamer28 0 Report post Posted September 18, 2004 Well, to start off to answer both your questions, Gmail is in beta testing stage and is currently by invite only. I have 6 Gmail invites, if you two want them, just PM me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

asimrsiddiqui 0 Report post Posted September 18, 2004 Its ok that its proving 1GB but it is in under testing conditions so u people dont save ur important data ... beacause in term of any condition that Gmail refuse to give u access anymore to the email box...... than what people u do! so its better to use http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ also offers 1000MB email space.

Loads fast, even on 56k dial up users. if it wasnt for my ISP POP account being discoverd by spammers i would still prefere that account. im paying for it, might aswell use it.

I went to the site and it gave two options... a gold and a silverone... It seemed too nice to be free. But then again gmail also sounds too nice to be free.

iGuest 3 Report post Posted September 18, 2004 DUUDE ! no ! never ever ever just post your email account on a forum like that... especially your gmail account. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> No harm in sharing your email address here at forum, specially if it's gmail. Come on, gmail is one GB, it would take years for spammer to fill it up. BTW my addr is please.do.not.email.me@gmail.com. And I won't mind publishing it here.

chronogamer28 0 Report post Posted September 18, 2004 The danger of putting up your e-mail address is that people can mass spam you with e-mail based subscriptions and stuff. Very dangerous to give out your e-mail on a forum where anyone and everyone could see it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
melanie 0 Report post Posted September 20, 2004 I love gmail, not only because of its space, but it's way of making your e-mails like conversations. All the replies/forwards linked to an email are listed together. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Infact I want my gmail account to get full, Just to see it at 100% As a matter of fact, I subscribed to two hugh mailing lists just to fill up my gmail acount. I'm getting around 300+ email a day there. Though they all go to their respective labels. I don't want to make my inbox crowded.

Sundari Harmony 0 Report post Posted September 20, 2004 I have my Gmail account, but I never use it ... I like using my hotmail so the little pop up thing tells me if I have mail But from what I've seen, the account looks sweet, so I probably should start using it for something ...

antitoxic 0 Report post Posted September 20, 2004 It is absolutely unpractical.. there is no pop3 or smtp server... I can't use it with my mail client and there is no extra stuff that are so cool.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chronogamer28 0 Report post Posted September 20, 2004 I actually like it better because IT IS web-paged e-mail retriving. But that's just meh. You really should try web-based retrieving. And if you didn't know, gmail.google.com is the address you use to retrieve your e-mail. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can't use it with my mail client and there is no extra stuff that are so cool.. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> There is no pop3 or smpt becasue its ad based. If they let you send/receive mail without the ads, how would they make money. BTW there are some third part utilities available which provide fake pop3 and smtp for gmail. I don't remember the links. Will find out Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
