How Did You Feel When You Got Gmail? - Share it here

Hai GMail share the feelings that you got when you recived your first GMail Invite.

Here is mine

At first when I received a mail from Google that contained the link for my GMail account, my joy was boundless. I signed up for GMail on 2/19/05 the time when GMail was just released and GMail invites are rare. I was the only student in my college atthat time having a GMail Account. That made my friends look in jealousy. That was great time.

lol that's cool having a invite from Google itself, I had to ask my brother to send me an invite to get GMAIL, but now that I have it... I get alot of spam because I registered surveys at ezyrewards.com >.> anyway, first thought of it was that it looked neat. Yahoo mail is filled with advertisements and stuff... yeaaa. I got my first gmail account a few months ago only lol. but it has alot of spam each day x.x

I've learnt Gmail when it was not that new anymore. I signed up using my cellphone because they send this code to my number for me to be able to register. Gmail sucks!! It deletes accounts not accessed in just a short period of time.

it was just few weeks ago since i signed for a g-mail account. I am a yahoo user since i start surfing the internet. I didnt knoe that those people in gmail acctually send invitations among other users. Many of my classmates have g-mail accounts, one day i became curious on hoe to have a gmail account, i search the internet on how to but it seems that you need an invitation from someone. Other email providers will allow you to sign up from ther sites but gmail is different. I've asked one of my classmate who have a gmail account to invite me. He said he still have 100 more invitations left, ah? coz when i have completed my account i only have 15 invitations. How come he have 100 allowed invitations but mine are just 15? Isnt its like an inverted pyramid system, as you go at the bottom the resources deplete? Thats what i think whats happening. I've tried to invite my other email account, then when i signed up there are just two invitations allowed. I guess when I use this new acount to invite other, the new account will only have less than 2 invitations allowd. Anyone here knows wahts going on. How can i increase the number of invitations on my account? wink.gif

Most of the ids i want are already taken when I got a Gmail invitation. I tried in frustration to apply for many similar ids, but they are simply all gone and unavailable. I wonder how come so many people are in Gmail that time since it is launched not long ago. Since I cannot get a good id, I don't think my first Gmail experience is a pleasant one. I am jealous of people, like my sis, how gets a wonderful id because her name is not as common as mine! Gmail looks cruder those days, without the chat function and picture preview and online scanning thing. But as it gets better, I think it is now offering service not rivaled by similar free mail service, like yahoo and hotmail. But my occupancy of the mailbox actually gets rocketed up quite soon. I am wondering whether I will have to delete messages later, contrary to Gmail propose.

You can now get yourself register throught the gmail homepage... simply by register throught mobile phones and just have to enter your mobile number, they'll send you a activation code and you're done..

Invites works like when you start out you gets little invites... Then as your gmail accounts get older, invites will start loading up in your account, and that's what I have now too, 100 invites... They'll refill those invites once in a while, and i nvr had a chance to finish them... You just have to be patient and wait for it...

I didn't used to have 100 invites, but now I do. I think it just keeps on adding up? Because I started out with a few, but then it got to 100.

I was proud, in a way, because some of my friends had gmail, but others had never heard of it. I got an invitation from my friend when it was still in beta. I was pretty happy =)

I did not find it very special. Never thought much about it. I was lucky to get an invite from some dude at some random forum, when I was looking for good things like Gmail. I do not use it any more. I probably have like 1000 emails I have not red, so there is no point trying to email me using my Gmail address. (You do not know my address anyway.)

I got it sometime in March or April 2008, they had a sign up thing so I didn't need an invite.

I was proud that I got the newest email thing, and I'm still constantly using it. I love the UI and all that stuff, but I still wish for a clear all spam button every day.

    what's the policy behind keeping a beta version (7)
    I've been using GMail for almost three years, probably got it a few months after it was
    launched. I like it very much, the most out of all webmail systems I've tried. When I started
    using it I was thinking "OK, that beta will be dropped soon", then I got used to seeing the logo
    that way. Now I wonder what's the reason to keep the "beta" indication? Is it some sort of

    removing it would mean losing users ("mmm it may soon become a paid service..", I know that does....

    Until the savior came. Google decided to do the smart move and make a revolutionary kind of e-mail.
    Starting off with their beta program that made use of invitations, many people (including me) found
    the truly amazing experience and the easy to use interface of GMail it's key points to lead the

    account. Now if you just keep sending the invites to yourself, you'll end up with lots more
    gmail accounts, isn't it? (I've tried it, you CAN create multiple gmail accounts by inviting

  12. Microsoft Says Gmail Is A Virus
    (65)
    QUOTE It seems that Microsoft has started flagging Gmail as a virus in their virus scanning
    software Windows Live OneCare. Many people are reporting that every time they open Gmail, a warning
    is displayed telling the user they are infected with "BAT/BWG.A". Now, either Gmail is a virus, or
    Microsoft is generating false positives. Some affected by this "virus" say other anti-virus products
    do not pick up the infection — to me, this is a bit suspicious. So who should be responsible for
    fixing the problem? Either Google can wait for Microsoft to update their virus def....

  16. Which Antivirus Gmail Is Using?
    A person found out it is Sophos! (12)
    Hey everyone! While surfing the internet I found out an intersing report..which claims that Gmail
    is using Sophos as the antivirus. This guy used a free service in which he sent out some malwares
    and that service gave out the report of major antiviruses...like which one detected it and which
    didnt. And then he compared it with Gmail....and the results show that Gmail found out exactly the
    same malwares which sophos found...so that means there algorithm is same...so it has to be sophos!
