Web Based email services ??

[johnnySV]

dudes,

since UNH sucks.... they are blowing up my email account in like T-minus 2 weeks. they do offer 'email forwarding' - which is a wikkid load of shit.... this means that my new address could be jptansey@alumni.unh.edu - but that would simply re-direct to a yahoo or hotmail or other account. the alias is not an account, simply a pointer. i have serious issues selecting a new webmail client.

i am looking for something that will accomodate 100mb storage w/ approx. 10mb attachment limit. additionally, i am looking for something that has a nice fast webmail interface, and can also talk to POP email on my home PC (MS Outlook friendly). i would like something with built-in spam filtering, and not the kind that requires user verification. it would be ideal if free.... but a $10-20 annual fee is not too bad for a slick service.

any reccommendations ??

Yahoo has that. I guess they bumped it up from 4mb/6mb to 100 as a response to gmail. If anyone has gmail invitations I would love to get one.

I've got some gmail invites to give out to whoever wants one.

I believe there are some third party programs that provide POP access and there is supposed to be an official google one in the works.

Hey RS, I'd like a gmail invite if you have one. But I think James has first dibs http://fsae.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

[Denny Trimble]

Not driving this weekend, but probably next weekend (oct. 2 or 3). Too many people are out of town. And, I've officially resigned from being a driver so I can focus on finishing my thesis and finishing the robot I'm building. Not to mention getting to sleep before midnight...

[Rob Davies]

Ry-guy,
Id take one of those gmail invites if you are offering..
If so my email is ssdav9 at hotmail dot com

Thanks, Rob

[James Waltman]

Ry-Guy,
I would really appreciate an invitation. My email is listed above. What do you current users think of gmail?

[Ry-Guy]

Invites sent. I have 3 remaining.

[Michael Jones]

Gmail is pretty sweet - might convert totally to it when it puts in a POP server, since I'm anal about archiving mail and all.

3 invites for the first three callers here as well. Drop a note to mlwjones@gmail.com if interested.

GMail :-)

Got mine two weeks ago. Very neat and a pretty good way of transfering files given the storage space provided.

If you could send one to john.dupree at mu.edu, I would be very gratefull.

[alfordda]

I have a couple of gmail invites left, anybody want them?

[Chris Clarke]

If you still have one left, I would like to have one.

Can you send it to cclarke@formulaubc.com and chrisclarke19@hotmail.com. Our Formulaubc.com server is currently down, and may not be up for a couple of days still.

Thanks,

Chris

hey guys, do a google search on gmail.

i originally thought that google was probably the best place to do my e-mail archiving and stuff, but after reading all the information out there about how the e-mails may be used for marketing...etc. I don't know if I'm okay with it.

keep informed.

[Denny Trimble]

I've got 6 gmail invites, the first six emails I get at "dennytrimble at gmail.com" will get 'em.

My feeling on the whole privacy thing is that if the security/intelligence services want to hack my mail they will regardless of what I or anyone else does (in my case for being a lefty, pro-palestine, anti-bush angry person).

Providing I'm not being spammed, which with GMail I most definitely am not, I'm happy. EMail is inherently less secure than snail mail IMO, this is the price we pay for convenience.

Ben

[Chris Clarke]

Seeing as this is where I got my gmail account, I will pass on my invites. I have six for anyone who wants one. Email me at "cclarke at formulaubc.com" or post your email on here if you want one.

A free Yahoo account has 250 MB of space, and you do not need an invitation to get one. Up to 10 MB attachments can be sent. For $20/year you can have 2 GB space and 20 MB attachments, plus pop3 service so you can use Outlook with it. However, I have a couple of Yahoo accounts, and one of them gets about 20-40 spam messages per day. The other account (which I rarely use), has never gotten any spam. I guess the key is to change your e-mail address about once per year.

Dave,
When I originally posted that last September it was true. From what I saw after Yahoo went to 100MB Netscape bumped theirs up to 250MB. Then Hotmail and Yahoo both went to 250MB (I can't remember who went first). I am such a dork.

Anyway, like Denny and Chris I got my Gmail account here and have a few invitations if anyone is interested.

[V2 - Italy]

I have four invites for a GMAIL account.
If you are interested mail me.

[Dan G]

Here's 4 invites for whoever needs them. Just use one per person please.

Invite #1 (http://gmail.google.com/gmail/a-6d49f65e31-8c77b9b3ad-4d9bb7b077)
Invite #2 (http://gmail.google.com/gmail/a-6d49f65e31-b9e5f44d09-1415dc30a9)
Invite #3 (http://gmail.google.com/gmail/a-6d49f65e31-f47479fbd0-32a7e692a9)
Invite #4 (http://gmail.google.com/gmail/a-6d49f65e31-9804d25619-c93d3954a2)

FYI: you can send invites to yourself and then just post the link in the message for others to use. A lot easier than coordinating emails back and forth.
