What is this fuzz about Gmail??
What is so good compared to other Email services?

I think it's the nice interface and the fact that you get so much storage. But with my home setup storage is the last of my worries.

Hey b1arak I see you heard from us from a magazine according to what you put in the registration, mind telling me which magazine? I never realized we were featured in one. Pretty cool stuff!

I'm glad gmail finally shut up when I moved something to the trash bin. It always used to say "Why throw it out when you have 2 gigs of space?". Sounds kind of suspicious much

I have two gmail accounts. I hardly use them though. One is a private account where unparsed news lands after going through several spam filtering phases, and the other is a personal email,mostly used as a failover in case Iceteks would be down for a crazy amount of time, like in the event of a terrorist attack or something of the sort, which we all hope will never be the case.

With my luck the gmail server is in the same building and I don't know.

Nah, google owns their own servers.

Well, I have about 100 gmail invites on each of my 4 accounts, so if someone wants one, they can have one

so is there anything better about gemail than regular email other than more space because i have been using hotmail for about 8 years and kept the same account the whole time. Actually microsoft sent me a litter compliamenting me on how i have been using the same email so long and i never let it get over crowded. I don't know if i will ever change my email. This gemail sound interesting but i need to know what it is all about.

Pssst. "GMAIL".

Anyways, yes, think of having Google, and a message board, built into email. You keep anything you ever got unless you absolutly don't want it. And you NEVER sort through emails to find something. You use the search feature. You could send ten emails to the same person, like back and forth emailing, and it will show up as ONE, and it will be laid out like a topic on a message board.

I found those features to be pretty cool.

The 2 things that REALLY pee me off about gmail are:

1) You cannot turn off their spam filter. As I use Outlook Express sometimes I'll have 2,000 emails in the spam folder which I've never seen.

2) Anytime I try to send a page to someone (it becomes an attachment) it gets rejected-it says it exceeded the allowable size-no matter how small--

and I get no help from their tech people--none. They don't even respond to an email.

Oh dear just remembered I have a gmail account where any news emails that fail the parsing phase get replicated to. Given the success rate is 48% that's TONS of mail per day. I think it's filling at over twice the rate of google's quota enlargment.

She's gona blow! Actually I just checked and I'm only using 25 MB (1%) of 2654 MB from 913 emails. I really figured it would be worse.
