>castelblanco4 at hotmail dot com< would like an invite if some one can spare it.

And castelblanco4 is about to get their invite

Did Z get one yet?

I see the system broke down almost straight away

Z is now going to get an invite.

I would have offered, but I'm not anywhere within beer range of Z. Besides, I'm fresh out of invites. Give me a week and I'll have more.

I would be very grateful for a Gmail invite - WRUNKLEBUM at yahoo dot com.

On its way

!!!

Although I've heard that both Yahoo and Hotmail have been blocking gmail

Okay, and I can't work it with Opera Mind you my Opera might not be totally up to date.

There have been some problems but they're not blocking them as a matter of policy. Certainly I've not had any problems e-mailing back and forth with folk on those sort of addresses.

Awesome - thank you so much Gosho.

As mentioned earlier in the thread, Yahoo did not block the Gmail invite - but it was in the "bulk" folder.

Right, I'm off to play with my new toy, la la la.

Sorry Z, GMail doesn't work with Opera at the moment

Please remember that GMail is in beta mode at the moment and not all of the problems have been ironed out. The message from Google is that they will make GMail compatible with Opera, and that the two parties are working together to make that happen.

I have heard that Opera 7.50 addresses some of these problems. Myself, I've not upgraded to this release, as it's only availabe in US English, so I can't tell you for sure whether that's true.

In the meantime try using a different browser. I'm using Firefox with GMail set as the homepage and I've found that to be a very satisfactory stopgap

Hi, can [email protected] receive a gmail invite?

I sent a regular email (no invite) to someone at a Hotmail address a few days ago, and it's yet to arrive

sesationalsuperjade, you are about to receive an invite

Ooops, I missed out an "n" there

Ah, this'll be the influx from Ask then

Thanks Grey desk, I got your invite.

GD, I would consider it a great favor if you could find a way to deposit an invite in lemonburner at hotmail dot com (don't ask about the name, I want to change it, one of the reasons I'm eager to try out Gmail)

(and people who do me favors find themselves in good places later... I'm very corrupt and drunk with power... and the italics owe me a coffee mug I didn't have them send )

So I shall go to sleep now, expectant, but able to be reconciled in facing disappointment, if the contingency should arise.
