I'm sure everyone who wants a gmail account already has one, but just in case you don't, PM me your email address and I'll send you one. I just noticed it says I have over 100 left, and it'd be a shame for me to just sit on 100 invites.

PM me your email address if you want one, an' I'll send it out to you.

    Lots of storage. 2Gb, I think. And with all the spammers, you can always use another e-mail address. Gmail's filters seem to catch most of the spam, too.

    Pretty sure you don't need an invite anymore. I think they require a phone number without an invite, but they started giving everyone with an account 100 invites like a year ago, so the invites are near worthless.
    If you will it, dude, it is no dream.

    Yeah... I tried giving away gmail invites but no one wanted any just because it's gone from having <5 invites per account to everybody having 100. If in some crazy case you get swamped with people wanting it I'm also willing to give out invites.

    FWIW I love gmail. It's pretty handy the way it stores everything and with 2.7 gigs of storage you can keep everything without much worry of running out. (I've only used 900mb) It's far better than hotmail or any other free service I've tried. I even ditched my isp mail account for gmail just to have an easy way to store files in my inbox and access them from anywhere.

    My favorite part of gmail is it's the only free email account (that I've been able to find) that allows free POP access. I rarely log into the site anymore...

    Yup, gmail is awesome. LOTS of storage, good spam filters, and it groups your emails together as 'conversations'. For free, it really is neat.

    And surprisingly, I've had a few people request an invite. I guess they're just really behind technologically. I'll refrain from listing names.

    :D

    The labeling and Archive feature is sweet. Gmail is by far the best e-mail service I have ever used. Even in beta form.

    Very good point. I have it set up so that my desktop recieves all the mail through Microsoft Outlook and then when I've connected my pocket pc to my desktop through bluetooth I can have my wireless email sync'd :cool:
