the "Gmail Invite" thread
« on: September 02, 2004, 04:58:20 AM »
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.

@Whabang

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.

Server Error

Gmail is temporarily unavailable. Cross your fingers and try again in a few minutes. We're sorry for the inconvenience.


I've been trying all afternoon - guess it is in beta! :lol:

Shame I didn't get a heads up earlier, then I would have got the username I wanted - the one I've got is pretty good tho'
