    I asked on this board for someone to sort me out a g mail account and good as gold they did. So now i will return the favour and giveaway 5 that i have. So the First five to post who wants one gets one.

    Note : These gmail invites tend to be seen as spam by yahoo, aol and a few other email provoders, so if you have junk mail folder make sure auto delete is turned off else you will lose it.

    Also if you got any gmails to giveaway feel free to tag onto the thread

    See ya xsilver

    Gmail for what I know is an email service provider (well duh) that gives you storage space of 1gb is A LOT. Hope that helped.

    OK back to the request. If I am the second guy or anyone in the first 5 then please send me an invite for a Gmail account. Lot's of thanks if you do.

    Angus_wolf Has been invited. And there you go last one gone now. Like i said when you have all used it a couple of times you will get invites to give away yourself. So why not give half of them to friends and the other half way on afterdawn. After all it has not cost you nothing.

    See ya

    geestar20: I don't think you read most of the thread. Scroll up and you might find that I posted THE BENEFIT.

    I'll write a bit more:- Gmail is a free, search-based webmail service that combines the best features of traditional email with Google's search technology to make finding all of your important messages so easy you won't waste time organizing your inbox anymore. Gmail includes 1,024 megabytes -- that's an entire gigabyte of storage space (probably more than you'll ever need), and an entirely new way of efficiently reading and tracking your important messages, all for free. And your account last upto 9 months idle where as on Homtail or any other service provider would make it available for only 30 days !

    Ok, let me clarify my question, what special features does this email service serve, other than a special invite.
    theres a big difference between 1gb and 1tb but I forget by how much.

    Geestar - G mail from google is more or less the same as yahoo with more space and a few more features. Can you live without it? Yeah, but i got sick of Yahoo and all the spam that i get (over 150 a day). At the moment Gmail is still Beta testing so you cannot get an account unless you are invited by someone that already has one.

    I gave mine away cause i can't stand the twats that are selling them on ebay. I got them for free so i gave them away for free. Anyway rambling now! STOP

    the gmail service scans all of the emails and uses the subjects contained in the emails to target ads of what is contained in the emails . its like reading all of your emails and displaying ads of the subjects in them emails . i had it and let go because of this .

    I have read all about the way G mail scans the email and uses target words for the purpose of advertising. Yes this is all true. However all email is scanned in some way for viruses, and other purposes.

    In any event if you had something really important to say you wouldn't say it via email. And i don't think anyone is under any illusions that email is a secure medium simply because it isn't.

    If i were that worried about email privacy, i would simple send a word document zipped with 256bit encryption. But then again my email ain't that secret and neither is anyone elses.
