How do I get a gmail address?
Are they available yet or do you still need an invite?

2. you need an invite.
I've got 4 invites, but I can't access my g-mail account until tomorrow. If no one has one for you, send me a pm tomorrow and I'll give you one.

13. More than 250 mb?
If so, how much? I thought there was some added functionality...something about searching your emails or something like that..

17. 1GB
and it is very easy to search for emails. Just enter a word at the top and they all come, organinzed into conversations. You can label them too into different groups, such as business or friends. There are all kinds of ways to organize emails. If you want an invite, PM me with an email to send your invitation to. It won't hurt to try it.

15. You can also access it
from OE, which you can't do with others unless you have a premium account.

11. it give you 1 gig of space - it's great for downloads and
pictures - it also sorts out spam for you - send me a pm with a user name that you would like to use - it asks for a first and last name - and your e-mail address, if you are interested. I can't get to it until tomorrow, but I know I have 4 invites.

14. it's a web-based email like hotmail
except it's run by google and they put ads along the edge of the screen. The ads' content is based on keywords lifted from the message you're looking at. I almost never notice them, so it's not a bad deal. For now gmail is by invite only, but pretty much anyone who is a user has several unused invites. Speaking of which, I also have 6 invites for gmail accounts, so PM me your email address if you want one.
