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?

Nitroboy · « **Reply #10 on:** October 27, 2007, 06:31:59 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.

Signed up. Always wanted gmail, thanks for the info

KnacK · « **Reply #15 on:** October 28, 2007, 06:57:01 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.

Garrett · « **Reply #16 on:** October 28, 2007, 08:30:24 AM »

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

KnacK · « **Reply #17 on:** October 28, 2007, 08:42:12 AM »

create a button on your tool bar for it.

Garrett · « **Reply #18 on:** October 28, 2007, 09:00:16 AM »

Ook I did that. Thanks. Thats the thing you do by dragging the address down from the address bar right?
