I am interested in what everyone else thinks about gmail. So far, I like the interface, I got the email address I wanted with no numbers or letters at the end, and I have yet to get my first spam. While I know spam is inevitable, I can't help but think that the interface will only improve. I'm not too concerned about privacy because I plan to use it only for mailing lists, e-zines, digests and other periodic e-mails. If somebody finds out what Xangas I read or that I read lockergnome, I don't really care.

What does everyone else think?

Today I started diverting most my spam to GMail. Pretty much the only reason I wanted an account was to see how the search goes for that. And it will be sort of interesting to see how long before that gig is toast.

I'm really excited about my new g-mail account. And yet I have no idea why. Maybe it's the idea of having all of that storage. Feels good. Still, it's not like I don't have lots of other e-mail accounts. I've had the same hotmail account now for six years. But it's become mainly a spam account. I check it every once in a while only to find six million e-mails from companies wanting desperately to increase the size of my cock. (Jeez...it's already ten inches.) In addition to hotmail, I've got a comcast account, a website account, a yahoo account, and now THIS account. Like I said though, I'm excited about it.

if you weren't you'd have some explaining to do. *grin*

So far I am most excited about the fact that i could get my preferred address with out having to add numerics to the end of my name :o) Also, I like that I could go off for 2 weeks and *no way* have to worry about running out of mailspace.

Actually, I am tending to use it for mailing lists, reflector forums, and the like ... non-personal stuff, I guess.

*grins* That's true, isn't it?

That's also true about the mailspace! I do like that. This address feels more permanent. I'm constanly running close to capacity on my hotmail account...and all because of spam.

A small note -- The message composition box in g-mail offers "threaded messages," so you can read your original message plus replies to that message all in one convenient window. (It displays them all at once.) Very nice.

Meh - I feel exactly the same. I've been a big Outlook user for a long time, I've never been attracted to Web based email clients but Gmail just has something special. I love the interface and the teasing that things are only going to get better.

I've done the same as you, I automatically copy all of my mail to my Gmail account.

Excited, me too!
