dudes,

since UNH sucks.... they are blowing up my email account in like T-minus 2 weeks. they do offer 'email forwarding' - which is a wikkid load of shit.... this means that my new address could be jptansey@alumni.unh.edu - but that would simply re-direct to a yahoo or hotmail or other account. the alias is not an account, simply a pointer. i have serious issues selecting a new webmail client.

i am looking for something that will accomodate 100mb storage w/ approx. 10mb attachment limit. additionally, i am looking for something that has a nice fast webmail interface, and can also talk to POP email on my home PC (MS Outlook friendly). i would like something with built-in spam filtering, and not the kind that requires user verification. it would be ideal if free.... but a $10-20 annual fee is not too bad for a slick service.

any reccommendations ??

Yahoo has that. I guess they bumped it up from 4mb/6mb to 100 as a response to gmail. If anyone has gmail invitations I would love to get one.

I've got some gmail invites to give out to whoever wants one.

I believe there are some third party programs that provide POP access and there is supposed to be an official google one in the works.

Hey RS, I'd like a gmail invite if you have one. But I think James has first dibs

dennyt at u.washington.edu

Thanks Denny – get in line. Are you guys driving this weekend?

RocketScience, if you are willing I would like one of the invites. james_waltman at yahoo.com

Thanks

just an update..... i signed up for a gmail account via an invite from one of my totally awesome teammates.

hopefully it rocks. if not, ill be piss'd.

peace,
jSV

Not driving this weekend, but probably next weekend (oct. 2 or 3). Too many people are out of town. And, I've officially resigned from being a driver so I can focus on finishing my thesis and finishing the robot I'm building. Not to mention getting to sleep before midnight...

I have 6 invites just sitting if anyone would like them.

Ry-guy,
Id take one of those gmail invites if you are offering..
If so my email is ssdav9 at hotmail dot com

Thanks, Rob

Ry-Guy,
I would really appreciate an invitation. My email is listed above. What do you current users think of gmail?

Invites sent. I have 3 remaining.

-Ryan

Gmail is pretty sweet - might convert totally to it when it puts in a POP server, since I'm anal about archiving mail and all.

3 invites for the first three callers here as well. Drop a note to mlwjones@gmail.com if interested.

GMail :-)

Got mine two weeks ago. Very neat and a pretty good way of transfering files given the storage space provided.

If you could send one to john.dupree at mu.edu, I would be very gratefull.

I have a couple of gmail invites left, anybody want them?

If you still have one left, I would like to have one.

Can you send it to cclarke@formulaubc.com and chrisclarke19@hotmail.com. Our Formulaubc.com server is currently down, and may not be up for a couple of days still.

Thanks,

Chris

hey guys, do a google search on gmail.

i originally thought that google was probably the best place to do my e-mail archiving and stuff, but after reading all the information out there about how the e-mails may be used for marketing...etc. I don't know if I'm okay with it.

keep informed.

I've got 6 gmail invites, the first six emails I get at "dennytrimble at gmail.com" will get 'em.

-Denny

My feeling on the whole privacy thing is that if the security/intelligence services want to hack my mail they will regardless of what I or anyone else does (in my case for being a lefty, pro-palestine, anti-bush angry person).

Providing I'm not being spammed, which with GMail I most definitely am not, I'm happy. EMail is inherently less secure than snail mail IMO, this is the price we pay for convenience.

Ben

Seeing as this is where I got my gmail account, I will pass on my invites. I have six for anyone who wants one. Email me at "cclarke at formulaubc.com" or post your email on here if you want one.
