I believe it's still by invitation only (i.e. someone who has a gmail account can invite you) due to not being out of beta yet.

I'm interested in getting a GMail account myself as well -- mostly just out of curiosity -- but it's much more attrative to me now that they've added POP support.

It is an E Mail Account hosted by Google. It is now in Beta, and you need to be invited to get one.

Monger and NLSer,

I just sent you both Gmail account invites.

I usually don't do this, the invite thing is just a marketing gimmick.

I haven't been able to spot any real benefit to it. I've been using it since the summer, sort of intermittently. Lemme know if you want an invite, Seed. I think I've got a few left in the hopper.

Thanks Craven... I haven't checked the email account you sent it to yet, but I'll be sure to play around with that a bit.

Vivien, I went to try to see how to send invitations & found the following:

Google wrote:
How do I invite others to join Gmail?

Answer:
Gmail invitations are available on a limited basis and are randomly distributed.

If you do not see the 'Invite a friend to join Gmail!' link in your inbox it means:

- You have used all of your invitations or you have not been granted invitations
- We are not distributing more invitations
- We will not be able to give you more invitations, even if you ask nicely or offer to tattoo Gmail on some part of your body (You'd be amazed at what people will offer for a Gmail invitation.)

There is a sign up list for those who have not been invited, but want Gmail updates.


I never got any invitations to distribute. Sowwy...

Sorry, Gautam - I didn't have your e-ddress to forward the invite to! I have 4 or 5 right now. If you'd like one, pm me your e-ddress and I'll forward an invite this weekend.
