I hadn't really thought about it, but I think I'd like one. Someone figured out that thanks to Yahoo's increasing its mail limits to 100MB storage and 10MB per transfer, we can now use the mail server as a free and quick way to transfer files back and forth. You just have to be careful who you give your email username and password to, so the account doesn't get hijacked. Otherwise, it's like having a small FTP site (limited to <10MB files).

GMail has, what, 1GB of space? Giddyup!

SirFozzie
06-23-2004, 02:59 PM
Ok. PM me your real names (google needs it) and You two will get the invites I have... if I have any more you can have it ;)

SirFozzie
06-23-2004, 03:27 PM
Oops. I need an email address for you guys as well. If you use Yahoo or something, make sure to check your bulk mail folder as well ;)

SirFozzie
06-23-2004, 04:29 PM
After RFUS's invitation (I just need to get his email address) I have 4 more invites to offer. All the GMail Swaps seem to be taken.. so I can at least offer a couple more here

I have SBC DSL through Yahoo and that gives me Yahoo Premium for free. When they upgraded their mail limits to 100MB they upgraded the Premium boxes to 2GB!!!.

What the hell am I going to do with 2GB of email space?

I have yet to use my gmail account. I got it from gmail swap. Anybody know if I can give it back? I am happy with yahoo's new account size and the new found yahoo pop3 program you guys posted about.

The Herd: Way to go...sounds like you got the best of it all.

SackAttack
06-23-2004, 06:24 PM
Hurst - don't think so, but you can delete your Gmail account if you no longer want it. But AFAIK, you can't un-invite yourself once the account is created.

Not sure. Ebay was flooded with people selling invites, at any one time you could see 5000+ invites up for auction. Wether the shutting down of invitations is because of that or going live I don't know.

Nope. But I need to remember what my password is, and when I go to the page to get it resent, for some reason it asks me "What is your primary frequent flyer card #", which seems pretty suspicious, no? Can anyone with it confirm that that is/isn't one of the security question options? Then again, I don't even remember my FF #, so god knows if that will help.

Dola,

I think Jeeb has the registers at the Olive Garden loaded with a web browser, so he can post at almost any time....

And for the Ubergeeks, here is another use for your Gmail account. Some sick Linux individual created GmailFS, a Linux filesystem which uses your Gmail account for storage.

I'm willing to give away up to 3 invites, although I gather that practically nobody needs them anymore. Anyway, I need first name, last name, and an e-mail address to send the invite to.

I like the addition of the sys tray icon! Very cool. It was hard to find the download. I had to do a search for gmail notifier. Program works great.
