Well, if you use hotmail as much as i do, a move to Gmail is really good. The inbox doesnt really need to load, it just appears when you click on it, much faster than hotmail. Theres no msn ads and irrelevant ads all around the screen. And it holds a gigabyte

Though I haven't tried it, I have heard the interface is much more easier and better than most others ... Anyway, I would rather prefer a POP3 mail account ... And opera's M2 mail client really makes everything cooler ...

Yeah, I like it better than hotmail so far... I like the fact it refreshes on it's own, too... and the 1 Gig is nice... it's got some neat features..

You have to actually use the accoutn and send emails out to get invitations! I've gotten several sets of invitations on my 2 accounts. They always send them in sets of 3's. I like it a lot! It's refereshing to look at a screen and not be bombarded with 5 million ads like on Yahoo.
I didn't get my invite from John though.

Do they keep building up? Like do they expire, or can you keep saving up until you have like 99?

How active are you? I mean, how many messages do you receive and send daily? I'm sending about 3 things a day, but that's about it. Should I go out and sign up for some newsletters to get some more mail?
