The time for alarmism is over. Now all other email service providers pray to God and play the hand they’re dealt!
Yo! received my gmail invitation few days ago! and first ... my first impression tell ya’ folks.... it’s not just about 1GB. GMAIL is redefining the way we see, use, write, maintain emails!
believe me folks... or worst put a request on https://gmailswap.com .. you might get one invitation... and have an experience for yourself.
Consider this.. you can even use your gmail account as a file system mounted using linux!!! ... https://richard.jones.name/google-hacks/gmail-filesystem/gmail-filesystem.html
There is this feature of importing your outlook, Yahoo address book into gmail.
Spell check and correction feature is hassle free. you basically aren’t moved to any other frame! silky smooth auto completion features for email address from your contacts list ... like typing the urls in web browser!!!
hmm.... not to mention the keyboard shortcuts covering all important gmail features!!!
well folks just pray for an invitation and it’s worth it.
have been using emails likes rocketmail, lycos mail, yahoo, hotmail since ’97 and the new ones ... rediff, sify, blah blah... but very few have been so innovative and redefining in content & experience as gmail.
Some of mail grouping features can be linked to google groups (usenet) features.
