GMail is Free

I feel like I can't say much here anymore. I have 50 invites available right now to hand out and nobody wants them. So what's the point of this blog anymore? If you really want a GMail experience, just get an account, from anyone. I don't see many people fighting for a account these days.

Now that many other free serverices have upped their limits on space and features, I see fewer people flocking to GMail. I still think GMail is a superior service compared to others, like Yahoo or Hotmail.

Anyway, don't expect much from this blog anymore, I'm on the verge of shutting it down....

More work, better GMail

I can't believe how long it's been since I've been able to write in this thing. My job keeps getting more and more demanding. It looks like I'll be working through the holidays this year. Not fun at all.

On the brighter side, GMail has opened POP3 to my account. I remember a while back when this service was free with Yahoo, which I thought was really appealing in a free service. The fact is that I don't want to always use a web page to read my email. What if I don't have a connection to the net.

I was skeptical that some adwords might show up at the bottom of each message, much like Yahoo and other free providers. To my surprise I didn't get any adds! On top of that, GMail uses full encryption to transfer mail between your client to their servers. Encryption reaches far beyond what many paid service providers offer today. It really makes me wonder if I will ever be required to pay for this service.

In the mean time, I just enjoying the great features.

GMail Invites

It's been a while, and still will be. However, I do have some invites to hand out. If you need GMail, just drop me an email.

GMail Invites

Well, unfortunately this break that I'm taking isn't long enough. I keep getting more and more project work piling up and it makes it really difficult to write in this blog.

However, I'm writing tonight to inform my readers that I do not have any GMail invites. As I was offereing them before, I no longer have that option. If Google allows me some more invites in the future I'll be sure to add a post about it in this blog. Most of my friends that even care about GMail already have an accout, so if I do get invites I won't really need them.

Taking a break

I haven't posted anything out here in a while and that's because I've been pretty busy. I still intend on maintaining this blog. However, I need to take a break from it. Hopefully, GMail will still be in beta mode by the time I can get some more posts out here. If not, hey, have fun!!!

POP3 for GMail

This POP3 program for GMail has recently surfaced. As I discovered it last week it really had me thinking of why anyone would want to use a traditional email client to read their GMail. Once you pull your GMail off the server your right back were you started. The idea behind GMail is the features and the public space of 1GB, non of which are available once you download all your mail.

Why a POP3 program for GMail? I could see this program being extremely handy if you ever needed to convert from GMail to another service provider. You could simply download your email from GMail, and you're done. No reason to login to GMail any more.

Invites Are Gone

I invited one user from my GMail account to join GMail and now I don't have any invites left. I don't understand why it took only one. Please don't ask for a GMail account until I know that I have more. I'll post another message when I get more invites.
