April 28, 200421 yr Anyone else in on the beta testing for the new google email? I am trying it out. If anyone else is, let me know what you think. Huh?
April 28, 200421 yr i was gunna sign up for that after i saw something on TV for it, but i forgot until now
April 28, 200421 yr Author Huh? Google is setting up a free email service ala hotmail, or anything else out there. The thing that caught my eye right off of the bat is that they are offering 1000 MB of storage space compared to the 2 that hotmail offers. They are in the testing stages of it right now. FWIW anyone who has a Blog, they are offering the chance to sign up as a GMail beta tester.
April 28, 200421 yr Author First thing for me, right off the bat, is they need to put an option to put your email on the task bar for one click access.

April 28, 200421 yr First thing for me, right off the bat, is they need to put an option to put your email on the task bar for one click access. is it on their popup blocker bar? if it's not i bet it will be soon.
April 28, 200421 yr Author is it on their popup blocker bar? if it's not i bet it will be soon. No it isn't. The first thing I did was check my options for it. I am guessing once they get it out of beta, that it will be on there.
April 28, 200421 yr Anyone else in on the beta testing for the new google email? I am trying it out. If anyone else is, let me know what you think. i thought i saw somewhere where they were getting sued or something over it...
April 28, 200421 yr Oh. Thanks. I didn't know that. Their IPO is gonna be huge, though. Yes it is, I've seen it referred to as "Son of Netscape." Any ideas at all on how to get in on it??
April 28, 200421 yr Author Yes it is, I've seen it referred to as "Son of Netscape." Any ideas at all on how to get in on it?? Have millions of dollars in an account with investment bank spinning this off. Other than that, you'll have to wait until it starts trading.
April 28, 200421 yr Have millions of dollars in an account with investment bank spinning this off. Other than that, you'll have to wait until it starts trading. OK then, I'd better get to work on that millions of dollers thing...
April 28, 200421 yr Author OK then, I'd better get to work on that millions of dollers thing... Yeah I have essentially been in this business for 5 years now, and if you are an average Joe, you get nada. Your worth is your account value.
May 4, 200421 yr Author Well it has been almost a week with Gmail, and so far I love it. One of the cool features with it, is that it bunches conversations together with tabs at the top, so that they can either show all of the emails in the exchange, or just the last one. Basically I am ready to let my hotmail account lapse. What does everyone else think now after a little time has elapsed?
May 4, 200421 yr Have they cleared up some of the privacy concerns like Scanning all emails so you can have the correct ads displayed Emails will never really be deleted Why the fuss over a free email service? In developing GMail, Google leveraged its expertise from the search engine business in two ways. First, Google will encourage users to leave all their email on its servers indefinitely and provide powerful search features to help users quickly find old messages. Second, like the Google search engine itself, GMail will feature targeted text advertising. The system will use the content of users' emails as a guide to choosing ads to display alongside each message. If you exchange emails with a friend about an upcoming trip to the Bahamas, GMail might display ads for airlines and hotels that offer service there. Not only does this increase ad revenue for Google, but it can improve the user experience, too. Advertisements are more likely to be for products the user is actually interested in. link to full article quoted above
May 4, 200421 yr Cool feature I just discovered with my Google tool bar. It is also a calculator. Input an equation and it will spit out the results.
