Aww, I don't know how invites work, as I've just signed up. The least I could give to KK to say TY though is a G-Mail account!

Now how do I work this thing?

Archeus

You need to supply an email address to whoever is giving out invites.

Also if you get more then one invite, don't activate more then one. It effects your chances of getting invites later (to stop spammers).

hmm.. dafire[at]neocron.com ;) I just want one to check it out ;)

Psssh - theres more peeps in the world with gmail than without now.

2 Invites left - Come and get - PM meh ur email addy.

hinch
06-09-04, 16:14
i just dont get it

why the fk would people want a gmail account if i wanted email with add's attached to it etc i'd install my own add shit onto my own mail server.

i mean why would i want hinch1239083214659810923649blbkasd94@gmail.com when i could have hinch@furious-angels.com or hinch@uk-pornstars.co.uk or one of many many domain names which are above all rememberable and 2ndly accessiable without needing to open up a webbrowser. oO

Archeus
06-09-04, 16:17
i mean why would i want hinch1239083214659810923649blbkasd94@gmail.com

Or just hinch@gmail.com because you got an invite early. :P

You can also access gmail without a web browser.

Until you have used Gmail, you won't realise how great it actually is.

hinch
06-09-04, 16:50
i'll stick to my

postfix+cyrus imap + lots of spam filtering and advert replacement shit.

thanks anyway though oO

besides gmail sounds shit just say the word g....mail sounds like a cheap copy of g-unit or something. i think furious-angels or some of my other domains sing alot better.

Yea, yea whatever. Claiming it's crap without even using it, and the best you can come up with is the name sounds funny.

Btw, adverts in gmail? Very small and hardly noticable (doesn't activate on all mails either). Uses ad-sense, which is a lot less intrusive then any other advertising mechanism.

It also has one of the best anti-spam systems I have seen.

hinch

i have a distinct distaste for all webmail based systems. thats why i run my own mail server and have my own domains. and from what i've heard from people who were in the early beta ie: months ago its just not worth it

Archeus
06-09-04, 17:13
and from what i've heard from people who were in the early beta ie: months ago its just not worth it

Are they still in it? I just wonder because, if they were they would tell you that the system has been changing over the last few months, from better UI, to added features.

Of course it is still Beta, and is expected to change more. It is still faster/better then any other web based email system.

Seems you more webmailphobic then anything else. :)

hinch
06-09-04, 17:29
yes they are and yes i know its changed and indeed the current inerface does look nice but its just evil.

im kinda webmail phobic but more to the extent that why waste time getting an address that is uncontrollable by yourself when you could have a domain that is 100% controllable by you.

btw webmail.furious-angels.com :)

see im not totally webmailphobic infact i even gave away free fa.com email address's for a while to nc forum members.

Archeus

What makes you think your domain is under your control? You only lease it.

hinch
06-09-04, 17:52
i do indeed only lease it however its a domain thats associated with me so its easy it also has webservices and ts and various other things associated to it.

how bad would it look to have community and community services running on domain A but yet all email goes to domain B which is publicly branded as a "google" service.

simple marketing excercise why do companies use theirdomainname.com for email instead of hotmail.com or gmail.com. answer is its because that name is associated with them and they have control of what appears on that domain.

gmail is as with all webmail services just another webmail advert package.

this ofc is all without looking at the legal implications of teh gmail service

But then your assuming that everyone wants to take the time to set up their own domain just to have email. Or that everyone is a company, or can afford it. You kind of prove that point by having webmail for others.


gmail is as with all webmail services just another webmail advert package.


It uses advert revenue to create the service. But to say it is just spamming adverts is an insult.



this ofc is all without looking at the legal implications of teh gmail service

What legal implications?


i do indeed only lease it however its a domain thats associated with me so its easy it also has webservices and ts and various other things associated to it.

Point I was trying to make was, your domain is no more secure/yours then a webmail system. All it needs is a laspe in payment or someone to contest it and they can take it from you.

good to see others are sending out invites. the more people that get into gmail,
the better they can test it. etc

just wanted to comment, you don't need someone's email to send an invite,
just make up a name and email on the invite screen and the email is put into
your Gmail "Sent Folder". Goto that folder on your account and the invite email
will be there, just copy and paste the link and PM it to people.

For those who envy gmail because of it's superior _free_ service with zero setup
time and spam blocking, antivirus blocking abilities and can't be arsed to switch..
well.. your situation sucks. Personally, I have 3 email accounts... ISP, hotmail and
gmail.

Hence why it's sucks ass.
There's just this that there's more than Germany you know,
just about +127 countries,
most are not German speaking.
Also guess why I posted it in the English community forum
