Gmail - 2.6G (Now Open)

**Andrew G** · Dec 22nd, 2005, 10:30 PM

Gmail is open at last

. GMail

EDIT: For Australia

**tr333** · Dec 22nd, 2005, 11:21 PM

IIRC, GMail sms signup has been available for a few months already... but that was only USA. They have now made it available for other countries.

**RobDog888** · Dec 22nd, 2005, 11:44 PM

Isnt Gmail short for Gay Mail?

**dglienna** · Dec 22nd, 2005, 11:47 PM

Only if Gay.com is your search engine.

**RobDog888** · Dec 22nd, 2005, 11:53 PM

Who would have thought about that!

**dglienna** · Dec 22nd, 2005, 11:55 PM

Other than the fact that GMAIL is Google Mail, and Google.com is their trademark? Think what you want. Hope you're not going JR on us, now...

**RobDog888** · Dec 22nd, 2005, 11:57 PM

No Way! I never used GMail or been to its site so I didnt know it was Google based. Thanks for the info though

some of the good things about GMail:

you dont notice the ads...

you dont wait ages for a bloated page with graphic ads to load up...

you get rtf formatting for messages...

replies to messages are shown as conversations (one of the better features)...

don't need to worry about deleting to save space...

you have google search to search through your inbox...

you can put labels on messages (can't do this in hotmail)...

you can save/load contacts as .csv files...

you can send to groups of people...

you can get RSS feeds at the top of the window...

automatic spam/phishing detection that actually works...

mail filters...

free POP access and forwarding...

save draft messages...

and more...

are you using dialup?
GMail loads for me in less than 1 second (i have cable broadband).

even if it loads slowly, i cant see that it would be slower than hotmail/yahoo...

**fahad k** · Dec 23rd, 2005, 08:26 AM

read the article :P

**Arrow_Raider** · Dec 23rd, 2005, 12:22 PM

fahad, please spell out your words. I can't understand what you are trying to say without reading your posts over and over again. Typing like that not only makes it harder for people to read your posts, but makes you appear less intelligent. I am not trying to flame you, just giving you some advice... but I do strongly suggest you take it.

Most of that is offered by Hotmail... 2GB space? Perhaps, but why would ever need to keep 10 years old mail anyway? I do cleanup my mailbox (personal and business) once a week so what's the big deal about "don't have to delete..." I don't egt it ???

Also, fo me Google is search engine only - that's it - I don't care much what they offere beyond that.

**tr333** · Dec 25th, 2005, 08:41 AM

can you use hotmail/yahoo mail as a mass storage drive?

Good luck getting spammed...

Never post any of your personal info on the public forum - are you kidding.

wait a while, and they seem to magically regenerate...

**tux_newbie** · Dec 26th, 2005, 10:53 AM

whatever it be i use gmail and it rules ,its better than yahoo or msn because it doesnt load those stupid ads.its still in beta but its good.and you have the gdrive by which you can store files online .

**bulletrick** · Feb 9th, 2006, 09:50 AM

If you love Firefox, you'll love GMail (or Google Mail)! For me, GMail and Firefox is built for speed.

Tip: If the standard interface takes it slow to load, use the basic HTML interface. When I use dial-up, basic HTML is faster than the standard.

**mendhak** · Feb 9th, 2006, 09:55 AM

GMail is terrible. My account is 100% full.

ever heard of ajax? That's the sweet thing about gmail. You don't have to post back to their servers on every click. When was the last time you used it?

**NoteMe** · Feb 9th, 2006, 11:25 AM

I cleaned my floors last week thank you.

**mendhak** · Feb 9th, 2006, 12:44 PM

I use AJAX Off^TM every night.

**MasterBlaster** · Feb 9th, 2006, 02:56 PM

I traded a horse for AJAX ASS.

**zaza** · Feb 9th, 2006, 03:25 PM

I fell over a candlestick whilst using Ajax Abe-Animble.
