Last thing Kona needs is another unused email account.

just curiouse, one of those people that like shiny new beta things

Lots of threads about this, on Neowin http://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=177181&st=0
Hardwaregeeks,advancedpc and so on... sure you could get one somewhere.

I've had an account for (at least) a couple of weeks now, but haven't been given any invites to give out. Seems that Google has stopped giving out invites for the beta.

looks like quite an old thread and too crowded, no one here can spare an invite??

Yes, I have been waiting for an "invite a friend" link in my gmail account for a while, but none has showed up yet.

But it is pretty cool, especially when not everyone has an account (the geek haves and have-nots ) Just kidding

Well, Style if I had another to spare I'd offer it to ya but alas I got only one and my girlfriend decided she wanted it.. Hope you get an invite! I know you could buy them from some sites but I really don't think it's worth all that.. Good Luck!

what exactly is gmail?

Gmail is the new email service of google.

F0r3, I know you can buy them but its against the google rules and I don't think I am willing to make people rich by paying for free accounts. Some guy even wanted to trade one against a template of mine... right, sure I am willing to give you a $150 template for an email account

heh, can't say I blame ya there! Anyway, if anyone is looking to give one away I'll send 'em your way!

*cough* I heard it's crap *cough*

I have to disagree with whomever you heard that from

Last thing Kona needs is another unused email account.

I agree...I have like 10 email accounts and only use 3 of them.

...but believe me when I tell you this....Gmail will make you leave all other Accounts.

...And for those believing that Gmail is reading your mail..here is a comment from Gmail on the Help Page

Google is NOT reading your mail. Privacy is an issue we take very seriously. Gmail is a technology-based program. Advertising and related information are shown using a completely automated process. Ads are ed for relevance and served by Google computers using the same contextual advertising technology that powers our AdSense program. This technology enables Google to effectively target dynamically changing content, such as email, or news stories.
Because the ads and Related Pages are matched to information that is of interest to you, we hope you'll find them relevant and useful.

I have an invite, e-mail me at [email protected] and I will send it.

alright, will send an email right away

I sent the invite. Let me know if you got it.

yeah got it, thanks

I have a couple of invitations I can send now....

Can you send me one GM? gotta see what all this fuss is about [email protected]

You have mail! 

Thank You most kindly, Diane

Goodmorphing, I'll take you up on the other invite if it's still available
[email protected]

OK Tjesterb.  You got it.  I have a couple more I am waiting to see if people want, if they don't then I will post again.

Thanks, GM! I've heard lots of good things about Gmail, and have been wanting to try it.
That was fast,too!

This is very interesting. I use alot of betas, and would enjoy the chance to get in on yhis. Anyone willing to give up an invite please consider me.

hmm... i'm needing a new e-mail account, so Goodmorphing, or anyone else with invites, [email protected]

thanx in advance

Hey GM, didn't you get your GMail account at the same time as I?  I don't have invites to send.  Maybe that option appears only after you USED GMail a lot. I must admit that I haven't really used it much yet. May have sent only 3 or 4 emails totals with that account so far.
