Ok, I've been following gmail for a long time, and understand the need for an invitation. Until recently I never had the pleasure of getting one.

Ok, so now I have a gmail account, and it seems very cool. But when do I get to invite my friends? how do i request my invitations to hand out?

Someone told me that when when you login to gmail, there is a tab for invitations, but I cannot find this, anyone want to include a temporary screenshot and show me?



Thanks

From what I remember you had to wait a while before you were given invitations to hand out.

Would you believe it! I just got my 100 invites a few minutes ago. Thanks for the info.

Congrats!
whats so exciting about it anyway?

Gmail is very cool when compared to other webmail services. I like the fact that emails are arranged in a 'conversation'. It is a perfect case study of how useability can work. No clutter, not too many menus and crappy articles on dating, holidays blah blah.

How about you. What email client/webmail do you use?

I have my own domain and I use POP to download emails to my client...

But i still have a gmail and yahoo account and you know what some people i know complain about not having a FOLDER to move and sort messages themself rather than allowing google to do it for them... and this STARRING and TAGGING the conversations are useless...

You need to realise that most here have had gmail for months. I find gmail unnecessarily complicated, I have no need to group emails by conversation, I would much rather have them ordered by date, most of my emails I read the once and never need again.

I too have my own domain and a yahoo account, I have yahoo and my domain registrar forward all mails to my own computer which is running an smtp server and then my computer looks after them from there. I have a imap server running on the loopback interface so I can use thunderbird or squirrelmail to read my email

exactly! it really has to evolve a lot...

Maybe that's why it's still in beta?

i guess `beta` is some sort of `disclaimer` strategy by google. you know they will have lesser liabilities for service delivery if its a beta version.

I have no issues with gmail. There have been changes made, both overtly and 'behind the scenes', to make it better and thusly it is still in beta.
