Topic: Gmail Account

[joudi]

three or four months back (I don't really remember exactly), I got to the Gmail site to get some information about creating an e-mail account. It wasn't possible. They asked me to register for getting new information about their news when there are, (not meant to be waiting list for Gmail account).

Well, I was surprised today getting from them this E-mail message:

Hi there,

Thanks for signing up to be updated on the latest Gmail happenings. We
hope it's been worth the wait, because we're excited to finally offer
you an invitation to open a free Gmail account! Just click on this link
to create your new account:
 
http://gmail.google.com/gmail/(etc........... )

Since last April, we've been working hard to create the best email
service possible. It already comes with 1,000 megabytes of free storage,
powerful Google search technology to find any message you want instantly,
and a new way of organizing email that saves you time and helps you
make sense of all the information in your inbox.
 
And here are just some of the things that we've added in the last few
months:

- Free POP access: Take your messages with you. Download them, read
them offline, access them using Outlook, your Blackberry or any other
device that supports POP

- Gmail Notifier: Get new mail notifications and see the messages and
their senders without having to open a browser

- Better contacts management: Import your contacts from Yahoo! Mail,
Hotmail, Outlook, and others to Gmail in just a few clicks. Add phone
numbers, notes and more. Even use search to keep better track of it all.

We also wanted to thank you. For showing us your support and for being
so patient. And to those who have already signed up for Gmail, thank
you for giving it a try and for helping us make it better. Our users are
what have made this product great. So whether you're just signing up
for your account or you've been with us since the beginning, keep letting
us know how we can build you the best email service around.

That's it for now. We hope you like Gmail and will share it with your
friends. We've got lots of cool new stuff planned and we can't wait for
you to see our work in your Gmail accounts! Stay tuned...

Thanks,
The Gmail Team


     interesting, no?

Well, they have totally ignored me!   :roll:   When Gmail was first mentioned, there were concerns over privacy issues.  Have these now been resolved?  To be honest, I have enough e-mail accounts as it is, so don't really need another.

Well, they have totally ignored me!   :roll:  

Well, maybe you'll get their answer soon Simon.

You see, they seem starting to contact us for that. Your turn might be in a short time.

Are you kidding Simon?  I don't think you'll reject their offer if they send you a mail like mine.     :wink:


By the way Simon:  I got their message in my "BULK" mail, not in the ordinary incoming mailbox. Are you sure you didn't erase it there before looking well what was in?

[Simon]

Maybe I did miss it, Joudi.

I believe I started the original thread Re G Mail, I have over 50 invites to pass out if anybody should request 1, G Mail has the ability to go POP now.

Please PM with your mail and I will send you one soonest.
