Sorry to be so ignorant, but what is Gmail ??

GMail is an email service provided by Google. Currently it gives you 2.5GB of storage space, but the number continues to rise (as a counter on the main site will show the current count). The service is invitation-only, but SO MANY people now have accounts, that getting an invite to join is ridiculously easy. If you need one, send me a message with your current email and I will send you one.

I'll claify further:

Gmail is a free web-based email service. You can access your gmail account from anywhere you can see the web. It puts ads to the side of the window you see, but unlike some others (like Yahoo) it doesn't put ads for itself or anyone else within the email you send to other people.

It allows you to do a very good search within your emails, and is excellent at filtering out the little spam I receive to my Gmail account. After all, it is run by Google, a search engine juggernaut.

You can now also access it using your wireless phone service, too, though I don't use that feature.

Thanks, both of you! That is cool. I do use Yahoo and other email addresses (I've lost count !! hee hee) but this Gmail really does sound interesting. Wonder where they're getting the bucks to be able to host so much storage space ?? Perhaps from the ads that you see on the side ..

Oh its definitely from the ads, that's for certain lol. But I mean... its google... like anyone expected anything less??

PS: I PMd you back
