I have 2gb on yahoo what is the point of gmail? i don't want my mail to be indexed either tipsy
Posted By: Gizmo Re: Help Me Choose a GMail Name - 06/16/2004 1:12 PM
Mail isn't indexed for the world to see; you think that they plan on getting sued gallore for privacy violations on a startup project?

Besides, Yahoo! only added the 2gb addon to the Yahoo!+ accounts in retaliation to GMail. Can't wait to see Google increase it to like 5gb lol...

$10 it's lk@gmail wink
Posted By: CTM Re: Help Me Choose a GMail Name - 06/16/2004 8:59 PM
Allen: Uh, [email protected]? laugh
Posted By: LK Re: Help Me Choose a GMail Name - 06/16/2004 9:11 PM
Actually you can't put a username with less than 6 characters frown
And [email protected] would be the default email address it'd suggest him if the invitation was sent to "Allen Ayres".
Posted By: CTM Re: Help Me Choose a GMail Name - 06/16/2004 11:52 PM
Yeah. It automatically suggested my full name when I signed up, but I had to shorten it because no-one would ever remember it laugh
Posted By: LK Re: Help Me Choose a GMail Name - 06/17/2004 12:12 AM
[email protected] ain't so bad wink

Anyone want a GMail invite? If so email moguai[at]gmail[dot]com and I'll (most likely) send an invite (so long as I know or like you that is)... If I don't know or like you, $5 paypal donation to the same address will also get you a gmail invite wink ...
Posted By: Ian Spence Re: Help Me Choose a GMail Name - 06/20/2004 2:17 PM
ispence@gmail.com is my new gmail account
Posted By: Gizmo Re: Help Me Choose a GMail Name - 06/20/2004 3:14 PM
Yes, lets put our new emails where they can be spidered; expect spam! lol
Posted By: navaho Re: Help Me Choose a GMail Name - 06/21/2004 12:01 AM
I don't recall seeing any form of spam filter in gmail. did I miss it?
Posted By: AllenAyres Re: Help Me Choose a GMail Name - 06/21/2004 12:03 AM
Me neither, tho there's a spam folder I believe. Surely they don't plan to keep 1gb of spam to search and sort wink

Well you can delete messages Allen wink ; I believe when you mark a message as spam it's placed in the spam folder for review of gmail staff; they surely must be using SpamAssassin or something smirk
Posted By: Gizmo Re: Help Me Choose a GMail Name - 06/21/2004 7:56 AM
I have (I invited myself; more invites?):
moguai

There's already some apps available to make working with gmail a bit easier:

1798 now hehe... it says it's "infinity+1", so will it keep growing past 2G? is it a cruel april fools joke? will i need to hate someone else now too (other than AA)?
Posted By: evosquest Re: Help Me Choose a GMail Name - 05/28/2005 7:41 PM
do what i did and choose a completely random and meaningless name and use it for all of your email adresses.
the name evosquest doesn't mean a thing but it sounds better than allenayres12345 or whatever the gmail gives to you. experiment with your last name and a strange second word like ayreosmythe or ayreated.
try that and see what you think

Yeah, and it probably whines if you don't use Internet Exploder....

I realize I'm really late on this but...

One problem I have with using anything with the word "Windows" in it is the assumed first two letters; "MS". smile tipsy

Secondly, I also have tons of Gmail invites if anybody wants some.
