Or you could get gmail by PM'ing someone in the gmail invites thread and save yourself the hassle.. although who needs 2 gigs of email space anyway...

I would like a second Gmail account (but haven't invited myself yet because I'm not sure if it's according to the rules to have 2 Gmail accounts), the more storage space the better I'd say :)


Why bothering to upgrade Hotmail??
- you'll get upgraded in the end, just wait few months and you have 250 MB without tricks
- Yahoo gives 1 GB and Gmail 2.4 GB, why would you prefer Hotmail then ?


Personally I wish to add I prefer Gmail's simple interface without disburbing publicity banners like Hotmail...

I have an Gmail, Yahoo & Walla(3Gbs) email accounts but I use msn messenger a lot and I get sent email to my hotmail witch I forward on to my other accounts.

Walla is not working very well, I've heard, but is that true or didn't you experience any difficulties yet?


I have Gmail, Fastmail, Hotmail (though hardly used) and Yahoo. I do email myself a lot - whenever I need a file to be stored and my USB pen is nowhere near: I just mail from my Yahoo to my Gmail :)
I need a mailbox with my own domainname now (I have one .com and two .info domains) but not sure where is the best place to host the mailbox...

Oh yeah, there's www.dublin.ie and www.belfast.com where you can have mailboxes as well. Nice addresses, though not sure if the services are professionally enough lead to remain in operation for a long time...

and for the few Hibs fans on here, you can also register a free @myedinburgh.org address at www.myedinburgh.org :D

Set up this months ago and still have only 25mb :confused: Think this was posted before on here??

Mail.ru is what you need if you want unlimited MB for free ---> everytime you're close to the limit, you can ask for 5 MB extra for free, and they never ever refuse. Thank god for Russian internet sites :D
