Re: GMail tips and tricks

For people using Firefox, there's a few nice extensions that you can add to Firefox that will add more Gmail features to the browser:

Gmail Notifier - Little browser status bar doodad to show when you have new Gmail.

Re: GMail tips and tricks

Tim, you and Adri above are on my waitlist, at least! Gmail users get a batch every so often... if there are any other Gmail users here with invites to spare, feel free to do some HawaiiThreads.com gifting!

Thanks pzarquon!!!
I need one centralized email account because right now, I can barely memorize my 8+ (I know I have more) email addresses.

Sorry for the threadjack.

Re: GMail tips and tricks

Nevermind. I got one via an invite from another person on another forums.

But for those of you who are waiting, there's now a couple of people in Hawaii who have gmail accounts, and I'll give my first batch to you guys when I receive them.

Gmail Invite

I just want you guys to know, that I have a gmail invite to give out. It took me about a week to get it, and I feel that I'd spread the aloha spirit and give it to a local person.

Who wants it?

Re: GMail tips and tricks

That's cool, Adri... I'm glad you got an account, and are willing to spread the wealth here! I know Timster was looking for an invite. You might want to send him a PM and see if he still needs someone to hook him up.

A couple of months ago, I was getting invites faster than I could give them away. Now that I use Gmail daily for almost all my non-personal e-mail, I haven't seen an invite offer come up in ages. Bummer.

I just sent him an invite.

And I made another thread (should it be deleted?) about who wants an invite. (where is that post? )

BTW, google just released a new batch of invites, so you might want to check your inbox.

Re: GMail tips and tricks

That said the big attraction to Gmail is the 1 gig of mail storage space.

Hey Mel for $19.95 per year Yahoo will give you 2Gb of storage and 10mb of email files.

Well hot damn, you're right! I only got one invite (before I'd get 'em four or eight at a time!), but it's an invite nonetheless. Anyone want to play? PM me with your name and e-mail address.

That said, the Yahoo! deal - 100MB for free, 2GB for a reasonable price - is pretty good, and their spam controls are a bazillion times better.

Actually, I don't even think Gmail's turned theirs on yet! I'm pretty sure I get every single message I'm sent.

Re: GMail tips and tricks

That was fast! My invite's gone. Post here if you're still looking for one, as other forum members might be able to help you out.

Re: GMail tips and tricks

Good News!!111!!!

I got 4 more invites!!!

Sent one to tim. I'll be giving out to mainlanders if no one responds.

Re: GMail tips and tricks

Woo hoo! I got five invites to give away as well.

If anyone here on HawaiiThreads.com doesn't have a Gmail.com account and wants to give it a spin, drop either Adri1456 or me a Private Message here with a name (not neccessarily your real name!) and a working e-mail address, and we'll get you set up.

I'm liking Gmail quite a bit, and use it as my primary "everything except the reallyimportant stuff" e-mail address. The 1000MB of storage is nice, but what's really changed the way I e-mail is the Google-powered search. If only my years of archived e-mail could be processed the same way... I'd never lose a piece of information again! Yahoo! and Hotmail both improved their offierings, and for a variety of reasons, you might still like them better. But why not take a Gmail test drive?

Anyway, I'll save my invites for HawaiiThreads.com users, so if I haven't posted that mine are all given out, you can still get one!

Re: GMail tips and tricks

Sorry, just ran out. I gave them to family members and a few close friends.

BTW, do you know of anyone else having a gmail account? They're in high demand here, as I only seen one other person at school use one, and when I check my mail at school, people are always asking me for an invite.

GMail invitations

If anyone would like a Gmail account, I have a few invitations to give away. You can either leave a private message with your email address or email me with it.

Re: GMail tips and tricks

It was a long dry spell of no Gmail invites then all of a sudden I get a whole slew of them. Send me an email with your first and last name and I will sent you an invite if you are interested.
