The first 5 people to email the address in my profile get them.
I am not selling them. This is free. I will only be sending out one per person.
Also, if your email address is not easily identifiable as your hatrack handle, please let me know who you are...

Can someone explain to me the point/appeal of GMail? It's like regular POPMail, only lamer, right? I mean, it's basically a larger version of Hotmail.
Does it do your laundry?
Posted by breyerchic04 (Member # 6423) on :
I think the appeal is that it is invite only right now, so you think you are cool if you get one. It isn't working with my browser or something, because I still can't make it work, when I go to the page to relogin it tells me it is loading, and gets stuck. Someone mentioned something about cleaning the cache but I don't know how (yes I am a bit of a computer moron)
Posted by Frisco (Member # 3765) on :
Tom, since you don't like webmail in general, I doubt you'll be able to see the appeal.
I, personally, want it for the search functions. And the 1G storage space would be nice,not that I'll ever need that much. But I could send myself lots of stuff that'd be available to me anywhere I can get net access.
Posted by peterh (Member # 5208) on :
Breyer, after you get that error message, try refreshing your browser. It seems to clear the problem sometimes as well.
Tom, it works as a jumpdrive if you want. Also, many functions of gmail have yet to be activated; such as pop3 support. In addition the ability to get the good usernames is a reason to desire an invite.
Posted by breyerchic04 (Member # 6423) on :
refreshing doesn't work at all, that's the first thing I tried. neither did getting offline. Well now that hotmail is increasing I won't be as upset if it doesn't work, but I hope it does soon..
Posted by larisse (Member # 2221) on :

Tom the reason I wanted one is because this is the only place that the email address for my husband's business is available. Otherwise, he'd end up with some weird name or one with 9843213 after it. My yahoo id is kaylafromhatrack2001 because kaylafromhatrack was taken! Can you imagine?

Tom, he spends enoughmoney on it already. It's really more of a hobby that is barely making money (and even then, it only makes money if you don't count his time and forget about how much he spent on tools so far.) And on top of that, any money he makes is then spent on poker. I'm not about to pay for anything else for it. But, he's really good at what he does. I should put that picture of Patrick's family up.

sorry, only got one. One! I hear you get more if you're diligent about using your invites, though.
I didn't want to send one off into the wild blue yonder without knowing it would get used, thus the tossing in of the invite at the first one who showed themselves to be awake.
We probably should make an updated list of folks who need one, and edit them out when they're covered.

Posted by Zalmoxis (Member # 2327) on :
I've been using my account quite regularly for a almost a week now, but haven't received an invites.
As soon as I get one, I'll reciprocate.
But even though Tom has probably stopped reading this thread, I want to comment on why it's so cool.
1. The messages displayed as conversations feature totally rocks. It's esp. nice for the listservs I'm on. I thought it would be distracting, but it's nice to go back and re-read portions of previous messages. For those who haven't seen it yet -- you only see the text of the most recent message -- the previous messages are displayed as little tabs. You can expand the conversation to show all the messages. Or click on the tabs to look at individual ones.
I love this feature for my private e-mail conversations as well. I no longer have to search my sent box or in box to figure out if I've already mentioned something, etc.
2. At first I wasn't sure if I liked the archive idea because it kicks the messages into a place where you don't immedietely 'see' them. But now I love it -- it keeps my inbox clean. For example, with the listserv, if I'm not interested in replying to a particular conversational thread, I simply archive it after reading the latest posts. If someone else posts after I've archived it, it pops back up in my inbox with the new message -- plus the rest of the conversation.
3. At first I was a little perturbed that you couldn't create individual folders. But as I started using the "tags," I realized that they are even better. The tags essentially act as a folder. You can click on a tag to see all the messages in that "folder." But the cool thing is that you can have messages with that "tag" in your inbox. No need to remember to check various folders for messages you want to read or reply to. Keep them in your inbox until you do what you want to do with them. Archive those you don't want displayed in your inbox.
And of course, just like with folders, you can set up filters so that tags are slapped on messages that contain certain properties.
4. The search function is much quicker than Outlook, Eudora, Yahoo! or Hotmail.
Finally, there is one thing that I don't like -- you can't save drafts of your messages.
Posted by Hobbes (Member # 433) on :
This is a beta testing, you could try e-mailing them that. In fact, I think I will too, two people is probably twice as loud as one.
When they first sent me an invite to send out, I didn't even notice it! Because it doesn't come as an e-mail - it just appears on your gmail page as a link. The link goes away when you don't have any more to send out. It appears above the listing of mail.
Just so you know, in case you didn't.

Invite recieved, and account created. Many thanks (you never know what sneaky person will take Feyd Baron E-mail addresses). Glad there wasn't any Phoenix favoritism in there or anything, that would have been a shame.
So, my name can come off the list, and I'll wait patiently for some invites.

I don't know if this is the right place to ask this, but it's the only thread I see dealing with Gmail.
At the end of the beta testing, what happens to our accounts and the emails we have stored in them? Do the emails get wiped out, or can we keep them when Gmail goes live?
Posted by Farmgirl (Member # 5567) on :
But I'm assuming that everything will transfer fine -- they are just tweaking it now -- not making major revisions. They would warn us if there was any danger of the entire database of mail being lost.

You'll know it when you get one. Not only is it in vivid red type at the bottom of the left nav, but all your e-mails from non gmail friends will ask if you want to invite him or her.
I didn't get one for over a month after I was invited [thanks, again, peterh]. Crystal got four invites just over a week after she got an account so it seems to be pretty random.
Posted by Lalo (Member # 3772) on :

If anyone can figure out a way for me to get this invite to them, it's theirs for the taking.

Lalo - do you have popups blocked? You might have to allow popups from gmail.com because the invitation is a separate window.

Ah, you are wise, padawan. Thanks, dude.
Okay, it looks like I have seven invites total. I still can't get the damn window to pop up, god alone knows why (Norton Internet Security confuses my feeble little mind), but post your name and e-mail addy and a way for me to get them to you, and they're yours.

But in case not: I do have two invites. EDIT: One left!
The first two who e-mail me [address is in profile] will receive them.
As always, don't forget to check your bulk/trash/spam folder since Gmail's e-mail system for the invites is often interpreted as spam by other systems filters.

You can just put any name in there to send it, and the person it gets sent to can change it, afterwards. So it doesn't really matter if it's their correct name.

Crystal: do you really want four Ws? And there isn't usually a www before it, it's usually just http://gmail.google.com I wasn't sure if the Ws are supposed to be there, the address doesn't work for me with them there, so I'm just asking.
I have a bunch of invites, if my family doesn't want them. They must be moving on to the next part of the testing. Email me at the address in my profile if you'd like one and still don't have one. (Is there anyone left?)

I don't think that's it. I imported a ton of contacts from my Yahoo! account just a day or two after they first offered that feature, and my first invite didn't come until 2-3 weeks later.
I think that it's relatively random. And that, clearly, they've greatly expanded the number of invitations this past week.
The only set pattern that I've been able to verify (based on my experience and that of other users) is that the more quickly you use your invites (and they are accepted) the more likely you are to get more.
BTW: [strike]I still have one invite left[/strike]. EDIT: I'm all out for the moment.

Pepek, has anyone sent you an invite yet? If not, I will. I have two left, I think.
Posted by Pepek (Member # 3773) on :
Yeah, i'm with the G's now.. thank ya very much Tick and Rivka
Posted by MidnightBlue (Member # 6146) on :
If there is anyone who for some bizarre reason hasn't gotten one yet, I still have three more invites. My address is in my profile.
Posted by peterh (Member # 5208) on :
Google is going for a new ramp-up it appears. I have upwards of 15 invites available. Email me at the address in my profile and one is yours. Please put a reference to your hatrack id if your email address doesn't coincide with your screen name here.
Posted by imogen (Member # 5485) on :
Yeah, I also have some available.
Email me (imogen.saunders AT gmail. com) if you want one...
Posted by beverly (Member # 6246) on :
Wow, the floodgates must have opened, because after all these months of no invites I've now got 5 available. Cool! Feel free to contact me if you are interested.
Posted by tt&t (Member # 5600) on :
Hehe. I have 6 more but I have a feeling everyone has enough. Well, if you want them... Posted by dawnmaria (Member # 4142) on :
At first, I just wanted this to show up my husband by getting one first, but now I am totally into for it's own sake. I love this! I love that the thread stays together! I love the cool spell check! I love it! Posted by Avadaru (Member # 3026) on :
Dang, gmail sure did take off. I remember back in the day when you had to trade to get an account. It just seems like it kind of exploded overnight. Now everywhere I go online people are offering gmail invites. Hrm.
Posted by Miro (Member # 1178) on :
Thanks to beverly for the invite. Posted by ludosti (Member # 1772) on :
I also have several invites to give out. The first 5 people to email me will each get one. Posted by MidnightBlue (Member # 6146) on :
I have six. But hopefully I can get rid of them at school tomorrow.
Posted by Vána (Member # 6593) on :
I have five invites. All you've gotta do is ask!
Posted by Zevlag (Member # 1405) on :
I also have 6 available, free for the taking.

Posted by Ryuko (Member # 5125) on :
I have some gmail invites. 5 to be exact. You can mail me at ryukochan at gmail.com. But I want to write a gmail haiku too!
I will invite you Aren't I so generous? What is your email? O_o Posted by Shigosei (Member # 3831) on :
Looks like Hatrack has reached some sort of critical mass where we have enough people to generate all the invites we need here.
I just got six g-mail invites and will be happy to share them with anyone who e-mails me at [my username here at Hatrack] at gmail.com If I don't get replies within a few days, I'll probably give them away to real-life friends, so act now!
Posted by Corwin (Member # 5705) on :
I received six invitations too, and I sent one of them to a friend of mine. The moment he signed up for it he also got six invitations, so I guess it just is THAT time of the year... Posted by kaioshin00 (Member # 3740) on :
I want one? Can I get kaioshin@gmail.com?

Posted by Vána (Member # 6593) on :
If you want an invite, just e-mail any one of us! For example, me. vanaeveryoung AT gmail DOT com
Posted by kaioshin00 (Member # 3740) on :
Will do vana, will do. I'll be writing you!
Posted by Hobbes (Member # 433) on :
I also have 5, but it looks like a buyer's market here...
Hobbes Posted by kaioshin00 (Member # 3740) on :
Thank you vana!
Posted by larisse (Member # 2221) on :
Yay! I got some Gmail invites. If anyone would like one, I have 4. Just e-mail me. See profile for directions.
Posted by beverly (Member # 6246) on :
I've got 6 up for grabs. Email me if you are interested.
Posted by CaySedai (Member # 6459) on :
I just noticed I have 6 Gmail invitations. I will offer them here and in another forum I participate in. Email to caysedai (at) gmail (dot) com.
Posted by Carrie (Member # 394) on :
Wow, I've got six as well. Email me.
Posted by CaySedai (Member # 6459) on :
I'm getting a little concerned ...
I had no invitations for weeks and weeks ... then I got one and offered it here. Carrie took me up on the offer.
Then I get 6 invites and offer them here and at another forum. One person from the other forum took me up, bringing my invite total to five. I just checked and I have six. Maybe this is how those people who posted on the gmail swap site got all the extras. Although if I get another invite everytime I give one out, I'll never be done. LOL
Posted by djscngt (Member # 6520) on :
I have two to offer. Send request to djscng at gmail dot com.
Posted by John Van Pelt (Member # 5767) on :
i have six. send email to verbalobe [ a t ] gmail [ d o t ] com. mention hatrack.
Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :
Out of curiosity, is there anyone who still WANTS an invite? Because my last offer was met with a resounding silence.
Posted by Annie (Member # 295) on :
I have eight hundred and forty six gmail invites
blueroosterdesign [at] gmail.com
Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :
*jawdrop* Annie, do you REALLY?
Posted by Annie (Member # 295) on :
Might as well. It says 6, but they give you six more whenever you get rid of them.
Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :
Posted by IdemosthenesI (Member # 862) on :
I think the problem may be that those who want invites don't bother posting to the thread first. I jsut utilized this thread a matter of days ago. Thanks, Hatrack! (and specifically larisse)
Posted by katharina (Member # 827) on :
I have six more invites.
Gmail has changed from the cool friend that invites you to the fun parties to the friend you avoid because he keeps pushing Amway stuff on you.
Posted by Farmgirl (Member # 5567) on :
Hmmm..
I haven't had any more invites to give away in ages. Or perhaps I just didn't check it often enough and never noticed them........
Not that I currently have anyone on my list that still wants one.....
That link is just to my co-worker's Blog -- but what he said is basically all along he has been emptying his "sent items" on his Gmail, and the way Gmail is designed, that wipes out the whole conversation (not just the ones you sent -- but the whole back and forth).
Now it has a message warning you of this, but prior to this, it did not have that message.

Posted by breyerchic04 (Member # 6423) on :
I have five invites if anyone wants them, I would perfer to give them to hot males between 15 and 30 but I'm guessing that's not too likely, so anyone can have them.
edit: email me at breyerchic04 at gmail dot com

Posted by Corwin (Member # 5705) on :
Hmm... did you get this idea from Kama's thread?! Bad Kama...
And I already have one...
Posted by breyerchic04 (Member # 6423) on :
no, i usually only do nice things for hot males between 15 and 30.

*bumped for Shan*
Posted by digging_holes (Member # 6237) on :
I also have six invites to give away, and I will give them to whoever asks first, regardless of race, gender, religion, age, political affiliation, linguistic or ethnic group, etc. etc. etc.
Just email me : digging dot holes at gmail dot com.

Posted by digging_holes (Member # 6237) on :
Five left.
Posted by digging_holes (Member # 6237) on :
Now I have six again. Email me if you want one.
Posted by Desdemona (Member # 7100) on :
I have 10 - anywhere.but.here024 at gmail dot com
Posted by xtownaga (Member # 7187) on :
I've got 10 invites, and have for weeks... if anyone wants one ask me at xtownaga at gmail.com
Posted by ludosti (Member # 1772) on :
I've got a ton of invites. Send me an email if you'd like one. Posted by babager (Member # 6700) on :
What's gmail and how is it different from e-mail?
Posted by CaySedai (Member # 6459) on :
couple of differences: 1 gig storage space, and conversations are grouped. You e-mail someone, they reply, you reply, etc. - those are put together and tiled. Kind of a cool feature.
Posted by quidscribis (Member # 5124) on :
I've got fifty, and I've never given any away. I'd love to, though! So email me! quidscribis at gmail dot com.
Posted by CaySedai (Member # 6459) on :
When did this happen? I've got 100 invites. The last I knew, I had 49 because I finally invited someone. Now it's up to 100! Posted by Boon (Member # 4646) on :
I've got tons, too. Actually, I don't go to the gmail website often, so I have no idea how many I have. But I have 3 gmail accounts, so probably 300?
