Gmail email accounts
 

Anybody need / want a gmail account? I've got 200 invites if anybody needs one.

Cheers,

Could use a couple.

I'll PM you later addresses.

Very generous of you, thanks.

Regards,
Scott

I could use one.

I've always got some invites available too if anyone ever needs one...

Invites sent to Jim Cesiro, and Nosmo_King (asked via PM). :)

Thank you!

I could too

I've been having problems with my gmail account for the last two days... It keeps locking up, and LOSING messages... I have had to go to my backup account where I am forwarding all of my emails.

Anyone else having problems? Right now gmail is so unrealiable, I am considering giving up on it for good.

I've had no problems with my gmail. I have plenty of invites too, btw.

PM me the email address you want the invite sent to.

I'll take one if you're offering...

No problem, send me the email address you would like the invite sent to.

I've been using gmail almost since it's inception (I received a beta version invite from an original google employee) and have never had an issue whatsoever. I personally really like it, but to each his own....if anyone wants to check it out (the price is right :)) PM me (with an email addy to send the invite to) as others have done...

Invites sent to NICKG and Icemaster.

Other than space what are the benefits?

I do notice alot of scammers use GMAIL...not that they don't use other services. The Gamil ones seem to stick out more.

they read all your emails. automatically of course, but creepy nonetheless. I use it as a "throwaway" account.

The Dragonware suite & its predecessors deployed by the FBI has been scanning all our email since the mid 90's anyway, not really concerned about Google scanning email for keywords to market with.

what is gmail?

I have been using gmail since nearly the beginning also and haven't had any problems. I think I have some invites available still too.

Its google's{@gmail.com} email system. Its still in Beta test I believe.

Gmail is a webmail / POP3 email account. 2.5GB+ storage, forwarding capabilities, etc etc. It has been invite only since it came out a couple years back. I understand it will become open to the public eventually (they've been saying that for a couple years now), but for now it's invite only.

I too have been using it for many moons now and have had almost no problems.

But don't take the 'invite only' to mean it's exclusive or anything like that. As you see by the number of folks offering 'invites' on this thread (most have a LOT to give away if anyone wants one...by design), that's just Google's way of spreading the beta version around. Personally, I just wanted another 'free' email account (not work related), and it works out great for me....

To add to what Keith said, recently Gmail has allowed people who want an email account but have not been invited, to sign up via their mobile phone. The catch is you are giving them your mobile number - they currently state they will not do anything w/ your number, but I imagine they could change their policy and end up sending marketing messages via SMS to your phone.

you would be amazed at the amount of data/information google has/collects. Or terrified. Depends on your outlook...

I have to agree with our static-free friend here. Despite their credo of "don't be evil", the potential for future abuse of your information by Google still exists. If there is anyone to fear regarding your privacy, it's Google. They collect and analyze data. That's their business.

I do not use Gmail and I do not send email to Gmail accounts. There is no protection afforded to the individuals on both sides of the conversation and any right-to-privacy argument goes out the window after 180 days anyway.

Now, where is my tin-foil hat?
