mrpyromania Posted June 27, 2004 Share Posted June 27, 2004 How much better do you think Gmail will be compared to other free email accounts?(PS,if your nice to me,I might invite you. You can only get an account if someone invites you.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UberBender Posted June 28, 2004 Share Posted June 28, 2004 sounds nice. But the only real perk is that you get 1000 megs of space. It dosn't even have POP3.Maybe if it had a large attachment allowence. It dosent specify what that allowence is but I assume its not as large as I would like. But I guess I don't really care seeing as how I have the only two e-mail addresses I'll ever need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marxist ßastard Posted June 28, 2004 Share Posted June 28, 2004 Well, besides the lack of services, there's also the spook factor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vandorssen Posted June 28, 2004 Share Posted June 28, 2004 Well the obvious upside is that other free-mail providers like Yahoo and MSN have been compelled to improve their service. Yahoo recently upped my account storage limit from 10MB (I think) to 100MB... a great deal more than I need. They also increased the attachment limit size from 3MB to 10MB. Not that I need to send attachments that large, but it is nice to have the option. I now use my real email account only for a select few things and allow my Yahoo mail to take the junk. But 1000MB? Hmm... I'd like to know more about how they use personal information... If they do not use it, please invite me... If they do, I'd pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cactoblasta Posted June 28, 2004 Share Posted June 28, 2004 I never knew Google was that unprincipled. If only there was an alternative that was as fast and efficient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slaiv Posted June 28, 2004 Share Posted June 28, 2004 Hopefully Hotmail will take a hint, and up the storage from 2 megs... <_< I don't care, because I like it's services, and I'm only using 50% of it, but it would be nice..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark0ne Posted June 28, 2004 Share Posted June 28, 2004 Hotmail are raising the stakes for all customers. Can't remember the exact figures any more, but I'm certain its happening. For someone who owns his own servers with many different domain extensions, free email doesn't appeal to me in the slightest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slaiv Posted June 29, 2004 Share Posted June 29, 2004 Yeah, it's up to 10mb attachments, and 250mb inboxes.... :D SWEET! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
