Anybody here use Gmail?

[baijie]

if so, what do u think of gmail?

i found that it's hard to send some attachments which are more than 1M... :confused:

[the tree]

I haven't found any difficulty with attachments apart from sending executables. Otherwise it's the best web-based e-mail I've come across.

[tims15]

I haven't had any problems with it. Would strongly recommend it!

[BigMoosie]

Yeah, I havent had any problems. Yahoo's new beta interface sounds interesting, invitation only so am waiting for one before I can review it personally.

[baijie]

why me??~~~

NOT FAIR~~~
*CRY*

[Stephen Philbin]

Maybe it's your browser? Maybe it's limiting the file size of uploads you make? Or maybe it's being limited by something else. Are you on an administrated network at all?

[JPnyc]

I use gmail but more or less it's just storage for me. I keep image files and some files for work that I need to be able to access wherever I am. I hate the interface so I would never use it as a regular email.

[theuedimaster]

I like the gmail interface, nice overall e-mail client. I love how they basically make it more of an application than a web page.

You should look into Yahoo's new beta mail interface. It's like an Outlook clone, only it's a webpage. I think its a neat concept, but Outlook is still ugly looking.

I'm so used to Gmail's threading of emails though, it's especially great with something like mailing lists. They've hooked me with that.

[Sanim]

I use Gmail, but I've synced it with Apple Mail, so I don't view it on the internet.

[JPnyc]

Think i'd like to check that out Bob. Got a link? i like the outlook interface and I hate yahoo's

Well, I can point to a review with screenshots (http://patcavit.com/2005/09/14/y-mail-beta-impressions/), but the Beta is currently invite only status, so the most one can do is sign up and hope (http://surveylink.yahoo.com/wix/p0473306.aspx) for now.

[JPnyc]

Thanks, that looks pretty good. Now if it's truly cross browser compliant, it could be a real winner.

[theuedimaster]

Wow! Yahoo, I'm impressed!

[chrisranjana]

Gmail is great but I wonder why google still calls it a "beta" ?

[LiLcRaZyFuZzY]

well, i bet google wont let yahoo have a better web based mail client, hehe, they ll have a gmail version 2, dont you think?
altough i am very pleased with the simple and swift interface
the search feature is great as well

[Sunny G]

they ll have a gmail version 2, dont you think?
If Google made a Gmail 2, what would they improve on? I use Gmail because I don't want to support Hotmail (Microsoft) and I don't like all the ads Hotmail flashes at you. The same with Yahoo, although that new interface is nice. I still like Gmail the best though. How many invites do you guys have? I've got 100.

One of my friends refuses to switch from his Hotmail account to Gmail, despite all the invites I send. Is it possible to send all the invites at once?

[LiLcRaZyFuZzY]

100 as well, i guess you can't get more?

in version 2..dunno, they'll find something ;)

[Ultimater]

Gmail is my number-one choice for email. Many thanks to Jona for the invite he had sent me several months ago. I've got a 100 invites like the rest of you. Any idea what triggers the additional 50 invites?

[LiLcRaZyFuZzY]

it's a divine sign!

[vinoth]

Still Yahoo

[eTech|Stacy]

I have been using Gmail last three month and it has been the best email i have ever used.It is fast, simple to use and of course high memory(2.6GB). Yahoo and Hotmail are nice but are tooooo slow. :)

[Sunny G]

Keep in mind that hotmail and yahoo are always throwing ads at you. Gmail only has related ads to the Email in text format which aren't distracting.
All the memory is a plus too.
I still get spam however. Mostly weirdos trying to sell me software, and some guy named "info" with weird subjects, usually a string of random characters. Do any of you get those?

[JPnyc]

With hotmail spam filter set to high, NO spam reaches the inbox. None at all. By the way, netscape free email has just done a complete overhaul. It went from being the MOST primitive of the free emails to now one of the best, at least where the GUI is concerned. Worth a look

[LiLcRaZyFuZzY]

you mean NO mail at all reaches the inbox

Sunny, did you post your email somewhere`?on some site or anything

[Sunny G]

Sunny G, did you post your email somewhere`?on some site or anything
What do you mean? My Email address, or an Email message?
Oh, duh. Now I know what you mean. I've got two Email addresses.
One I use for my robotics site. Yeah, though that site I've gotten alot of spam (but I encoded the address in hex:)). I've also gotten spam in my normal Email address, I think from webdeveloper.
This is my normal Email address, but I typed it backwards with spaces in between so It can't be read by a robot. (Let alone a person)

[gchick]

i havent got gmail yet (or so i've known..)but i heard pretty good things about it

[LiLcRaZyFuZzY]

hey sunny, actually it could very well be read by a robot, it must just find out how you encoded it

gchick,
if you want gmail just ask about anyone on these forums

[stanleyns]

yeah.. gmail rocks.. and ill be happy to send out invites to ppls.. :)

[Sunny G]

hey Sunny G, actually it could very well be read by a robot, it must just find out how you encoded it

Aparently the robot can read hex. Are there any other encodings?

[LiLcRaZyFuZzY]

maybe there is SUNNY
but none are perfect

lmfao. LiLcRaZyFuZzY, that's enough, give Sunny a break.

[PhillMc]

I've been using GMail since day one, no problems. My favorite part about it is the (!!FREE!!) total POP and SMTP support; I don't like the web-interface either, but it works like a charm with ThunderBird.

I, too, get spam, but it rarly makes it to the inbox; it's all shoved in the spam folder, which automatically gets trashed.

I have to say it's flat out, hands down, no question, the best e-mail service I've ever used.

[hooloovoo24]

Okay, every time I try to download thunderbird, I wait like 30 minutes for it to download on my dial-up connection, then when I try to install it, it's like the file is corrupted or something. Which sucks because I know how good it is, and I want to use it so bad. I think that it would be the perfect completion to my Gmail. It's already pretty good at filtering stuff out, but added to Thunderbird's filters, I think it'd be PER-fect.

[LiLcRaZyFuZzY]

get it from somone

[hooloovoo24]

what do you mean?

[Sunny G]

LiLcRaZyFuZzY, that's enough, give Sunny G a break.

Not you too?!

[LiLcRaZyFuZzY]

what's up sunny?

you can't quote text and change it, and still pretend its quoted!

[Ultimater]

Not you too?!
What? I was defending you. "G" is your last name, why can't we call you by your first name?

[Slimjd]

I use G-mail, i switched over to it from hotmail cuz i got tired of all the pop ups. G-mail is the best i've ever seen/used.
