GMAIL!

We must spread gmail, if Google sees that gmail has spread and it is doing good that little "BETA" sign will go away and gmail will be here to stay!

10 reasons why gmail is better than any other e-mail service I have ever used, I have used hotmail, yahoo and AOL:

1) It automatically bookmarks all your contacts and you can add new ones, not to mention an auto-complete for easing composing.

2) Its spam filters are incredibly effective in keeping out the spam without filtering what you want, they delete after 30 days, so you can always check.

3) With yahoo it may take an hour for an email to get to a its destination, with gmail it is there instantly, also gmail encrypts all of its traffic for security and privacy.

4) they give you a Gigabyte of space!!! Yes a GB that's 1,000 MB 4x what yahoo and hotmail offer and 10 x what email.com offers! You never have to delete anything! I do a lot fo emailing around 25+ incoming and outgoing messages a day, and I have only reached 90 MB.

5) Never delete anything! Just put it in the trash or archive it, if you ever need it all you have to do is search with the time saving and accurate e-mail search engine.

6) It's display and interface is great, it displays multiple emails as a conversation and in the upper right corner how long ago they were sent which is very usefully.

8) Incredibly easy to upload/download file attachments!

9) If someone has sent you a JPEG, BITMAP or GIF you can view a thumbnail before viewing or downloading.
10) Unlike AOL with there fancy flash/JavaScript website the gmail website is easily viewed and access with any browser despite your computer I have accessed it with IE, Mozilla Firefox, Safari, Mac IE and even Opera with no difficulties I have also accessed it with Mac OS X, Windows XP, Windows 2000 and several Linux Distros. All you need is active X enabled or its equivalent/substitute.

Most importantly it is a free service upon an invite, Google make smoney from gmail via the Google adsense program. There server scans your email for words and matches it up with four ads that ae displayed on the right hand side of the screen. Don't worry no one is looking at your e-mail, a computer program does this in a split second, no humans will ever see anything.

I have 49 gmail invitations and will invite, if you email a lot and want to try gmail, comment and leave your current email and an invitation will be on the way!

Yep gmail is by far the best I have ever used, and that offer still goes for anyone who wants gmail I have 50 invitations to give out so please comment if you want the service whether I have spoken to you before or not!

Rags, I'll send that dialouge Neo has with the architect to your email address soon, its very interesting. The writers of it clearly helped themselves to some "poetic license" as they call it.

I'll be emailing you than, isn't gmail revolutionary. Gmail is such a good email service it has hit other providers hard. In the last 6 months yahoo, email.com and AOL have tried to improve their servers but still are far from gmail. Not to mention Microsoft has made outlook only availible by subscription. I hate outlook, not only is the program one of the most unsecure program you could possibly have, microsoft never even looks into its bugs and holes. They are rpobably busy with IE's bugs and holes or the whole winXP for that matter.
