Gmail, release dates??

Does anyone know when they are going to open Gmail to the public??? I've tried to figure out a date or at least a general time period, but with no luck. So any ideas?

just use web adventure.....its gives you 2 gigs of box space. Plus it takes 2 minutes to register. Thats cause they dont ask you crap like your address and such

If they dont have your information,they cant sell it.....unlike many sites i know

o yea, somehow they can afford to not put any banners or ads on the site.

I got a gmail invitation a couple months ago, and last week I got 3 invites. I have a feeling Google is going to continue this process for a while, and Gmail will exponentially grow, tracing who knows who, until an infrastructure has been built that will allow them, and the government, to know exactly who you are in the world, so that, in the end, they know that, without a doubt, you really want those pills that remodel your house with porn stars.

I'd like to know more about this <i>web adventure</i> as well. Is it free? And 2 gb of storage? How come we haven't heard about it before, or it's not readily found on Google?

I just saw an article where Yahoo states they plan a 2GB, $19.99 a year service.

Yahoo still sucks.

Aventuremail is the 2GB alternative

http://www.aventuremail.com/

:edit: Aventuremail is not accepting new registrations atm, unless you buy the premium one


Heres a nice article on the matter of all email things considered large.

Yeah, my dad pays for the premium service which used to give him a whopping 10mb of storage space. He looked at it today and it was set to 2gb. That is a huge jump.

I wonder why they were being so stingy before.

Because they could be. Gmail (being the first really well known mail provider to give away a large amount of space) didn't just raise the bar, they took it to a new level. Now the other companies have to try to match that level.

My free Yahoo account just jumped to 100 megabytes today from 4 megabytes. The max file size on attachments jumped to 10 megabytes from 1 megabyte. Hotmail is still at 2 megabytes for the time being.

But one of the most underadvertised benefits of subscribing to mail plus is probably the most useful email feature I've ever seen/used. If you sign up for their premium service, sure you get 2 gigs of storage, you get no graphical ads on the mail interface, you get no ads in your email, you get pop access and forwarding, but you also get what they call AddressGuard.

AddressGuard lets you create hundreds of email aliases that still go to your yahoo account, but that you can create and delete on a whim. I never give out my real email address anywhere online because whenever a site asks me for my email address, I create an alias specifically for that site and give that to them. I still get whatever email they need to send me, but the second they sell my email address to spammers, I just hit delete and any spam they send to me just gets bounced back.

This feature alone is why I signed up for $29.99/annually for Mail Plus, and now that they've upped the storage and lowered the price, I think it's a steal.

Yahoo mail just upgraded mine to 2gigs and added some features that resemble Gmails. Searchable mail and NO ADS.

Looks really nice I must say.

Coincidence, I think not

Edit: just read the other posts. Guess I'm not alone
