does this mean Gmail will be open to public soon?

That's cool.

It could be some kind of indictation that they are indeed about to make it public, but it doesn't really matter that much.

Invites aren't that hard to find these days.

Sounds like it might. And it's definetely good news. I've been using g-mail for awhile now, seeing I got it before most internet junkies even knew about it. It was nice to be able to get some of the names I wanted without all the #'s after them.

It's a good move by Google too. Google is starting to take some giant leaps into the internet market, with some really great innovations lately. We'll see if G-Mail catches on...

Could somebody please explain to me exactly what Gmail is and whether it's any good or not? I understand it's something google-orientated but am unsure of what makes it so special and whether or not I should get involved with it.

"gmail is the way google does email". its a very fast and reliable service and allows your to store 1GIG of info in your account. i have 5 accounts and like a couple hundred invites and 5GIGS of space, and the gmail drive (whatever its called) allows me to use that space well. i think it might be a bad thing for gmail to go public because people could make hundreds of accounts (without earing invites) and basiclly load up the server and make it slow like hotmail. but we all knew this was coming so.. as long as i get to keep my space im happy.

i wanna see a 'how google does messenging' G-M soon.

Gmail > Every other email service

I Didnt get that email did they forgetabout me again... I like gmail the way it is becouse theres no serverload so everything is fast.

no, it is not sent in email, it is in the gmail help, if you go there and look around you will find it,
also i find the suggestion to gmail changed, and the login page of gmail changed.

Gmail is bound to go public in the near future. But for now I think t hey are just testing things out. Too probably see if people abuse it in anyway like store music files or something like that. lol. Gmail has been helpful. I like the search option. Never have to delete my email again.
