the "Gmail Invite" thread

[T_Bone]

Has anyone noticed that if you try to send a Gmail invite to a hotmail address, it bounces? It also bounces if you try to send the invite from a hotmail account.

 :roll:

Hmmm, the invite link, pasted into a text file, and zipped, mailed as an attachment, bounces!

I actually had to encrypt the zip file. Geeze.

GMail is still beta. The only way you can presently get an account is by invite from an existing user.

It's easy.

Go to Fark.com, register, go into the forums and beg! :lol:
There's even an ongoing thread to get all fark.com members invited to gmail. So far, everyone who's publically begged has been invited eventually.

The only stipulation being, is that you are supposed to invite 2 people from fark forums in return, not that anyone could force you to though. I did only because it's probably evil or something, not to. :-)

Should have more invites soon.

I've got another invite available, who's next? :-)

 :lol:

Now mine's down too, probably adding harddrives or updating software or something.  :-)

Invited Poweramiga who also went begging and recieved 7 invites, gave me 2 of his, so I've got 2 more. For a while I couldn't seem to get them, now I can't get rid of them.

Is gmail the google email system if it is i would avoid it they it scans your email for for certain keywords and delevers adverts on what word it finds. :-(

It doesn't "deliver" adverts, it displays them discreetly on the right pane, just like it does when you do a normal google search.

Has anyone ever complained about the advertising on google searches? I don't even notice it.

@Blomberg

They're thinking of adding POP/IMAP access, currently there are gateways that will let you access with POP mail programs,and an HTTP parser/plugin is being tested for use with Outlook/OE/Evolution.
