[Dharkbayne]

Soon they're gonna be paying us to use their e-mails


<3 google

microsoft tight asses, widen up!
finally my hotmail account has been at 71% for the last like 3 months my yahoo account is at 0.9%. i hop though that hotmail enables saving sent messages like yahoo does(yahoo has the box checked automaticly, hotmail doesn't).

[Retroactive]

Yahoo will soon be forced to do something... :D

[Sputty]

Gmail still easily owns hotmail

[NoSurrender]

Indeed, no competition there.

How does google do it?

How does google do it?
1 GB storage.

I've yet to find the delete button..

I just "Archive" everything.

[Jaged]

gmail is far superior to both yahoo and hotmail.

No, I mean, how can they provide an entire gig to so many people?

[Khronos]

the world with tiny ads, white walls, and search buttons EVERWHERE.

google will dominate

G-mail > all a lot of space and no spam. Hotmail won't give out 1 gig on it's free plane and who wants to pay for a hotmail account for 2 gigs :lol:.

[Firefly]

My website email owns them both.

[Bighoss]

This is why Capitalism kicks ass! When companies have to compete like this trying to win dominance over others the customers win!

G-mail newb: "Well uh... i may have all my emails being stored, easily accesable to a hacker or corrupt insider, or even sellable to a partner of google (according to their contract) or any government that doesnt have the rights guarantees of the US (all other countries), but at least i have 750 more MB than you that i will NEVER use! Booya!"

:groovy:

:groovy:

Really, what kind of super sensitive secret emails are you sending? I seriously don't care if a hacker read mine, because frankly, they have the collective intelligence of a 2 year old, horrible grammar, and I doubt the hacker would be able to read them.

Go get your tinfoil hat and stop bitching.

And this is a bad thing? :p 'course ya gotta have the 7.62 so they don't get too close. ;)

Okay, I'm a yahoo mail user and have been quite happy .. had this account for years .. all this talk about gmail is tempting though. You know what they said about the cat .. er, sorry Sputty .. but I would like to see this new wonder.

If one of you would be so kind and send an invite .. PM me and I'll reply so as not to use up more than one invite .. so that I may check out this marvel.

[Triggar]

If you don't get one in a week, send me a PM - I'm out of invites at the moment :)

[SDM]

Kuraltai: sent.

[Kuraltai]

Kuraltai: sent.
Thanks SDM, appreciate the help. Got it all setup, so no need to send any further. Hmm .. may be cool after all .. here's me new addy :p
