                  It is incredible for a freemail service, the only frustrating part is getting your first account. I got mine off GmailSwap, a website where you give somebody something, and they give you Gmail! (I gave up one of my sister's seven Neopets accounts :blink: ) What is your Gmail? Mine is [email protected]. (I know my username is thecosmos [Cosmos was taken :blink: ], but is the ending @gmail.com?) Oh, what does it matter, but feel free to Gmail me! I have PLENTY of room!

                      Meh, I don't have it, nor want it. I was offered an invite, but I declined. I mean, all I ever get is junk mail; so I really don't need a HUGE E-mail account.

                      Plus, I'm not gonna' start groveling to get one...

                              The most popular thing about it is the 1GB of free space @.@;

                              And, I haven't gotten any invitesh yet x.x; But, I think Google is giving away too many invites though x.x;

                                    The only difference with Gmail is that it has more space.

                                          1gig storage, 500 times that of hotmail, and it's free, so basically, you'll never have to delete an e-mail again, just conveniently store them in the archive system, very cool I must say. And no, I won't invite you, so don't bother asking :mellow: .

                                              Um, how about because I don't want to? Is that good enough. I have already given 1 to piers, 1 to one of Sheba's friends, and made myself a second account (for real life, the other is for internet things etc.). So I have 3 left, and I'm not just gojng to give them to anyone who asks.

                                                I have Gmail and a bunch of invites left. I don't really have a use for the account, I just wanted one because I was interested in looking at how they set it up and to try and figure out how it works.

                                                    I've been deciding for the longest time to get Gmail.

                                                    Now that Yahoo and Hotmail have increased their storage space to challenge it (for a while now, of course), what advantages, if any, remain for Gmail?

                                                      It's amazing how many topics have been revived thanks to the organizing. :)

                                                      I just use outlook express. It's only limited to the amount of space you have on your hard drive, and even though it's free, it dosn't dissapear after being untouched for more than ten days. On top of that, you just have to ask your service provider to give you a password that allows you to access your mail away from your PC.

                                                        I have G-mail.

                                                        Well GL, if you are logged on your gmail acounts and stay on, they keep a record of your searches on google, and there also a matching messenger with gmail too. I believer it's called Google Talk. There are some other small options too.

                                                          I personally love Gmail, but it's nothing special anymore. I use Live Mail Beta and trust me it sucks compared to Gmail... actually, it just sucks. Google will only gain market share in the email sector IMO.
