YW bill. Sure enough the space is nice, although the one thing I would want to use all that gig for, sending and receiveing large attachments, doesn't seem to be working...

Hmm - if you ever get any invites to share I'm gmailess..... :)

Yahoo has made their free email a little better to combat the GMail thing. They have 100 MB of storage space, and allow attachments of upto 10 MB per email now. Not as good as GMail but I've had a Yahoo account for over 5 years and it always sucks to switch your address...and I find that Yahoo is the BEST free email account for SPAM, I haven't got one piece of SPAM since I've had my account.

I will give GMail a try when it comes out! it looks sweet and if the SPAM is low I'm probably going to switch!

Yes, the new Yahoo is great. Hotmail needs to follow suit. It's a shame that they took this long. I'm still getting spammed to death on Yahoo, but then again, now that they gave us more space it doesn't fill my mailbox. So far the GMAIL looks extremely cool. It's amazing but they are going to have to recoup the cost somehow, so hopefully the advertising will work for them. i can easily see getting hooked on it.

You get SPAMed at your Yahoo account? That's surprising to me...you must use that address when filling out on-line stuff, am I right? I have a 'dead' account at hotmail that I use whenever I'm asked for my email when downloading software or signing up for an account at a forum. Then once a week I go in to the hotmail account and scan what's there are delete about 99% of it.

Actually I get killed there. I have the exact opposite experience with hotmail. Originall it was the other way around but I set my hotmail to only accept stuff from people I knew. One day I responded to an audiobooks email @yahoo and ever since then it's been a disaster.

I have an extra invite - send me your email address to WilliamRyan AT Gmail DotCom (just put the words together - spammers have been scraping these pages recently) and I'll send you one.

Cheers,

Bill
