wtf is a g-mail account?
why not - Toshiro - 12-27-2004
Yeah.. What is it?

G-Mail. Google's mail service. 1000 MB of storage space, dude. I still have ~4-5 invites left. I believe I gave one to Furiza. =\
Plus, it's absofuckinglutely free. And big. And... invite only. So... Slug is trying to do you guys a favor here.

Hotmail increased it's size O_o I'd rather stick to the old fashioned e-mail. Besides, I have emails in it that I'd rather not lose, and everything I ever signed up for or gave my email for is for that one, I don't want to go around switching it =P. I think g-mail is over rated, but whatever.

Yeah, but Hotmail is 250 MB. G-Mail is 1 GB. I believe I see a winner here.

Who can use all of that space? Now I never go past 1% full in hotmail O_o, I'd stick with it because it's just as good in my opinion. G-mail is just trying to run down hotmail, that's what I think, and I've been using hotmail for 5 years, I'd never bail out on them for some new and bigger site. So yes I boycott G-Mail, but that's just me and I don't care what you people do, just saying what I think.

Having 1 gig of e-mail storage is like killing a fly with a shotgun. Unnecessary.
Is there anything else it has that makes it so special?

The way they organize emails is really cool. They're arranged into conversations instead of just messages.

I pretty much agree... although my email keeps switching between 2mb and 250... it's confusing the hell out of me, every other day it switches back and forth.
A kid down the hall from me uses a G-Mail for spam-mail purposes, I can see that use. That's pretty much it.

*Shrug*
Whatever, I still have a Hotmail account, and yeah, like Koola said, G-Mail's a much more organized e-mail service. WAAAAAY less spam, too. Shiet, 98% of the e-mail I receive from Hotmail is garbage. I've received two spam e-mails to my G-Mail account. I guess that's a plus. But anyway, nobody's making you use either. Hell, I use both. More importantly, Shaun of the Dead is still a kick-ass movie.

I simply delete any files that have over 100 KB

The hotmail junk mail is from hotmail, not from other sites, so you can't filter it. It's them trying to sell some products and other stuff I hate.
Yeah, Gohan. What he said.

That's why whe you join, don't click any of those boxes unless you have to. I only get a email from them like once every month. I have had a invite to gmail, and said I didn't want it, 'cause hotmail is eough.
why not - Vegeta - 12-29-2004
this isn't about if gmail or hotmail is better so stuf. if you want a gmail account ask and someone would be willing to give you an invite. thnx.
