My account was one of the lucky ones that got IMAP early.  I setup my imap in thunderbird last night and added lightning 0.7 and an addon for bidirectional google calendar support, it's pretty pimp.

How do I get an invite?

Title: Re: have you checked your Gmail account lately?
Post by: Nitroboy on October 27, 2007, 08:31:59 PM

you just ask someone or one of your friends to send you an invitation to your current email.

I checked out the IMAP stuff, and I greatly prefer gmail's client to Thunderbird. The threading is indispensable for me, and Thunderbird's just doesn't cut it. :-\

Gmail doesn't require invites anymore, as of many months ago.

I don't like Lightning. It's exceptionally... ugly.

Title: Re: have you checked your Gmail account lately?
Post by: KnacK on October 28, 2007, 08:57:01 AM

btw - on a side note, make sure that you use the following url to get your email:

https://www.gmail.com

Use https for encrypted connection to gmail.

The modzilla google toolbar doesn't use the https address.  Any suggestions?

Title: Re: have you checked your Gmail account lately?
Post by: KnacK on October 28, 2007, 10:42:12 AM

create a button on your tool bar for it.

Title: Re: have you checked your Gmail account lately?

hotmail aslo blocks a TON of outside email addresses.

I have an account on every popular email/IM service: AOL, Gmail, Yahoo, and Hotmail.

They're all the same to me.

Get the GreaseMonkey script to make Gmail use HTTPS all the time.

I hate Hotmail. It sucks at filtering spam and it deletes a lot of messages that are not spam. I have both my Gmail and Hotmail accounts released to the public (i.e. posted on the net), and I get 10x more spam in Hotmail than I do in Gmail (into my inbox). I don't fear about spambots at all, because I use Gmail. ;D

As for Yahoo! Mail... not as good as Gmail, but still far better than Hotmail. I don't like its new Ajax interface though. Compared to Gmail, load up time is really slow.

Uh no... a lot of sites sell/release your information. Besides that, I post my email address on websites.

Since my ISP has partnered with Yahoo! (dating back years ago) to provide services like e-mail and hosting, we as customers usually get the best or second best that Yahoo! has to offer.  That being said, I've never used their new e-mail service, but I've read a few reviews online saying that it's great.  I'm also pretty sure that jitspoe is a die-hard Y!-mail user dating back 10 years.

hotmail will block gmail invites for starters.
Yahoo still needs to get better control of their outbound spammage.
