Sentinel@cfl.rr.com if anyone wants to help poor Munky with a G-Mail invite. :icare: Thanks!

No1 07-08-2004 01:28 PM

I am curious.
How does Gmail send invites to people? It's really very confusing.
Some get 12 invites the third day they sign up and some been waiting for weeks now.
Any wise ideas?

skier 07-08-2004 06:12 PM

Have two invites for those who want them. Send a PM to me.

Casus Belli 07-09-2004 06:26 AM

Skier, thanks a lot! Super!

amonkie 07-09-2004 10:31 AM

No more invites at the moment, but those of you who PM'd me, I'll keep you in mind if I get any more.

hrdwrjnkie 07-12-2004 03:43 PM

I have two invites left for whoever may need them, it seems I am having trouble even giving them away. PM for one.

Nafter 07-17-2004 05:36 AM

thanks hrdwrjnkie much apprciated

kitanokikori 07-18-2004 12:03 PM

If anyone has a spare invite and would like to donate me one, betts.62@osu.REMOVEMEedu

Mr. Smell Good 07-22-2004 09:21 PM

Does anyone have anymore gmail invites? I need only 1... so i can get a gmail account. Right now I'm on yahoo, and all this gmail praise is making me shift in my seat. I must make the switch!

1 single gmail invite would be greatly appreciated. I don't mean to beg, but... plz plz!

tehhappyboy 07-23-2004 11:52 PM

yes, what is the pattern to invite giveaways, how does google distribute them?

Supple Cow 07-27-2004 09:47 AM

Has anybody heard of people having new invitations in the last few weeks? Shortly after I started my giveaway thread, Google cut me off. I thought maybe they would come back soon, but I waited and waited and nothing came. Sorry if I didn't get to you and you're still waiting, but I definitely still have the PMs from the folks I didn't get to invite yet and I'll check back here if I ever get more.

ZodGilla 07-27-2004 11:34 AM

yeah... ive noticed that the invites have stopped the past 2-3 weeks

heyal256 07-27-2004 06:13 PM

I don't think that anybody has gotten invites since they changed the policy regarding ebay and gmailswap (i.e. they are no longer allowed).

slimshaydee 08-01-2004 01:58 AM

...anyone care to help out poor lil slimshaydee. PM me :icare:

majik_6 08-01-2004 06:11 AM

If anyone would, ya know, happen to have an extra invite laying around, I'd be might happy to take it off your hands. ;) You can PM me for the info.

basmoq 08-01-2004 06:54 AM

I'm looking for an extra invite as well, be nice, pm me and the other bums who want an invite! PLeaZZZZZZZ

redrum 08-01-2004 06:57 PM

ive got two invites left ;)

Grondar 08-01-2004 07:05 PM

Is GMail only going to be allowing people to sign-up via invites, or will they have regular registration at some point?

I'm content with Yahoo Mail, but was thinking GMail might be neat to check out.. However, if it's by invite only, I don't have any hook ups, so I'll probably miss out.

YzermanS19 08-01-2004 07:28 PM

I would enjoy one as well....would like to see the hype is about, and plus, I'd give someone else on here MY invites.....I can only repay the favor to someone else on TFP who is needy and wants one.

PM me with info, if you feel generous.

Key 08-01-2004 07:42 PM

if i could get an invite, i'd greatly appreciate it :) i'll update this post should i be fortunate enough to receive one.

thanks :)

edit: got one!

did i mention orphen is my new best friend? because he just freaking rocks!! thanks man!!

I'm pretty sure they'll have regular registrations eventually. Right now GMail is in beta. Once it gets out of beta, I'm sure it'll be available to everyone.

Thanks for the reply.

I tried GMailSwap.com and got scammed there, but thankfully all I lost was an AIM screenname and not something worthwhile.

I guess I'lll just wait for it to be publically released, unless invites are still being distributed and available and someone wants to share the love.

Again thanks, and take care.

The Phenomenon 08-03-2004 09:34 PM

I have been trying to get in on a GMail account for a while now... Anybody here feeling particularly generous, PM me please!

rudezilla 08-07-2004 05:27 PM

is gmail really all that good?

stoodeo 08-08-2004 10:58 AM

i have 5 invites...what are you guys willing to give me/ do for me for one of them email me skime@comcast.net

Phaenx 08-11-2004 07:34 PM

Qlop@portalofevil.com

I need one since I can't use my outgoing server anymore. I don't have anything else amusing to add, so here's a cat:

bendsley 08-11-2004 08:02 PM

my gmail acct.
 
I think the only thing lacking from GMail at the moment is the inability to connect to it through IMAP or POP3. Would be much handier if I could access it through Outlook.

Give me a ring at bendsley@gmail.com.

amonkie 08-13-2004 09:26 AM

Maximusveritas, Invite has been sent. :)

Redlemon 08-13-2004 09:51 AM

Do you think Google will give Gmail invites to anyone who buys their stock? Just thinkin' out loud...

...also, do you think the Beta will end before or after the initial stock offering?

MontanaXVI 08-16-2004 09:19 AM

just really looking into the whole GMail thingy, and would be VERY interested in trying it out to see what it is all about, that is of course, if anyone who had an extra one lying around would be willing to part with it :)

PM for info please.

Thanks in advance.

bendsley 08-17-2004 07:47 AM

relax: i dont like that program. i have tried it, but i want to be able to access it through pop/imap in outlook through exchange.

oblar 08-17-2004 10:38 PM

i would love a gmail invite, but i don't think I can compete with Phaenx's cat.. That cat rocks :) i would give him an invite if i had one

orphen 08-18-2004 10:40 PM

Got one maybe 2 months ago. I'll reseve an invite if you PM me. i need to wait for it to give me another. only gave me one !! T_T i guess i'm not important enough

orphen 08-18-2004 10:41 PM

friend's dad works for motorola in china. gotta ask him for one :D

Antikarma 08-21-2004 01:39 PM

Any more invites left? I'll trade uh..... hm. I'll trade a lot of gratitude and glowing praise?

TheShadow 08-21-2004 03:06 PM

I'll do a jig for a gmail account invite! You might not see it, but you'll know I'll be doing it for sure!

cobber 08-22-2004 01:50 AM

Don't know what all the fuss about g mail is about, as let them sort all the difficulties out and use it when we are allowed to be open for everyone once they work it out.

Same, an invite would be much appreciated!

Dav 08-25-2004 07:34 AM

You do realise that sending encrypted email messages is actually illegal in some countries! Like america and britain. you can actually do jail time I believe.

flamingpeach 08-25-2004 09:57 AM

I've got a couple invites i'm willing to share. Feel free to PM me if you're in need. :)

edit: they're all gone :D

08-25-2004 05:22 PM

I have 3 invites for fellow TFP members with 300+ post. PM me your name and current e-mail. KOOONK!

thriolith 08-25-2004 09:25 PM

Woah, I just checked and it says I have 7 invites left.

Edit: 6 now. Yea, PM if you're interested.

bendsley 08-26-2004 05:14 AM

I checked my account yesterday morning and had one invite and gave it away. Checked this morning (08-26-04) and have 5 invites. I guess Google is ready to get people going again.

Just stopping by to note how wrong I was. Oh well.

k1ng 08-26-2004 05:40 AM

I have 6 invites. If you want an invite, send me a PM with your email address.

majik_6 08-26-2004 07:04 AM

I seem to have lost his username (although if he wants to PM me, I'll add it in this msg, since I'm not sure he'd want me sharing his realname), but I'd like to say "thanks" for my invite!

portwineboy 08-26-2004 07:10 AM

I have 5 invites as well. Please PM me if you want one.

[edit] all gone! will post when i get more [/edit]

amonkie 08-26-2004 09:45 PM

3 invites here as well, I'll change this post as they're gone.

Please PM me an email address to send them to you, since I'm not sure who on this list has or has not recieved an invite.

Church 08-26-2004 10:27 PM

Wow, 11 invites! I pmed you for one of them! eeek, I really hope I get one.

/me stops foaming

amonkie 08-26-2004 11:29 PM

You've got PM Church :)

d4in 08-27-2004 06:24 AM

I got a few to give away to donating members (hey I support TFP, and you should too)......PM me.

Edit: wow, I guess with the new format, donors aren't listed anymore. So I guess the invites go to members that have been here at least 1 year.

VitaminH 08-27-2004 10:09 AM

Man I leave for a summer and come back to find out gmail invites being circulated everywhere. Here's to hoping...

amonkie 08-27-2004 11:19 AM

VitaminH, check your email..... :)

trevor567 08-27-2004 12:11 PM

1 invite to offer
 
first one to pm me !
edit: sorry, its gone

sherpahigh 08-27-2004 01:03 PM

I'd love an invite if anyone has any left. Pretty please. :)

sailor 08-27-2004 01:19 PM

I have a few invites. This time, Id prefer to give them to members with more than 300 posts. Ill leave it like that for a couple of days and then open it up to all. Shoot me a PM with an email address to send it to if you want one :)

Reese 08-28-2004 12:23 AM

I'd love an invite too :)

d4in 08-28-2004 06:43 AM

still have 4 for forum members who have been here over 1 year, but you HAVE TO PM me, I'm not gonna send one to someone who has already gotten 1 or 2 invites.

Slavakion 08-28-2004 06:49 AM

How long after you get an account do the invites start rolling in? I'd love to pass them around TFP. And do other things factor into it such as how many emails you send?

d4in 08-28-2004 06:51 AM

nope. it's all random, but everyone in my office with a gmail account got 5 new invites on monday or tuesday

trevor567 08-28-2004 03:26 PM

i have 3 to give out..
pm me

ruggerp11 08-28-2004 04:02 PM

I have five invites. If anyone wants one PM me. THe first five PMs I get will get Gmail accounts tommorow when I wake up

Reese 08-29-2004 01:48 AM

I also have a few invites to giveaway to people with a decent post count. PM me.

sailor 08-29-2004 04:26 PM

Man, GMail must be handing the things out like water... Everyone has a bunch! They just gave me some more :eek:

Destrox 08-29-2004 04:34 PM

I have 6 Gmail Invites to give away.

PM me if you want one.

(This is the 13th invite they have given me in the last week and a half. :D )

Bamrak 08-29-2004 05:18 PM

Soda_BoB 08-29-2004 10:57 PM

tropple 08-30-2004 03:18 AM

I have three to pass out. PM me. I'll be checking back in 5 hours or so.

Slavakion 08-30-2004 10:38 AM

Three invites. PM me.

zfleebin 08-30-2004 10:58 AM

I have a couple to give away. pm me with your email address.

tropple 08-30-2004 11:44 AM

Man, does everyone already have gmail? Not a single response.

Slavakion 08-30-2004 04:01 PM

Me neither, tropple.

d4in 08-30-2004 07:19 PM

that makes all of us

bendsley 08-30-2004 07:30 PM

If there is anyone that would like a gmail acct., I will be giving away 3 invites. Private message me through the forums. Please make sure that you are asking for an account because you don't have one, not because you want to whore as many gmail accounts as possible.

Thanks.

tropple 08-31-2004 09:37 AM

Well, I guess gmail has reached the saturation point.

I'm withdrawing my small group of invites.

Hah. TFP doesn't seem to need invites as much as other places. I've seen them go in literally 30 seconds because they wear out the F5 key.

By now you probably know the key ways in which Gmail differs from traditional webmail services. Searching instead of filing. A free gigabyte of storage. Messages displayed in context as conversations.

So what else is new?

Gmail has many other special features that will become apparent as you use your account. To help you get started, we encourage you to visit our Help Center, there you can browse frequently asked questions, read our Getting Started guide, or contact the Gmail User Support Team. You'll also find information in the Help Center on such topics as:

* Importing your contacts from Yahoo! Mail, Outlook, and others to Gmail
* Using address auto-complete
* Setting up filters for incoming mail
* Using advanced search options

You may also have noticed some text ads or related links to the right of this message. They're placed there in the same way that ads are placed alongside Google search results and, through our AdSense program, on content pages across the web. The matching of ads to content in your Gmail messages is performed entirely by computers; never by people. Because the ads and links are matched to information that is of interest to you, we hope you'll find them relevant and useful.

We're working hard during our limited test to improve Gmail and make it the best webmail service around. Thanks for taking the plunge with us. We hope you'll enjoy Google's approach to email.

pancakerabbit 08-31-2004 11:30 AM

Anyone still not have gmail?
 
I have 6 invites, post your email here and I'll send one later.

heyal256 08-31-2004 06:03 PM

I guess i'll join in the offering of gmail invites.... first 3 pm's (with name and e-mail address) will get invites. Besides, I got my gmail account from this thread so I'm giving back.

edit: 2 left.....

j0hnb 09-01-2004 04:57 AM

i've got 3 gmail invites if anyone wants one send me an email at jcbanks@gmail.com

AngelicVampire 09-01-2004 08:56 AM

Ok how do I send invites out? Gmail says that I can invite 5 people... but it does not tell me how... clicking the Invite 5 friends does not work... please tell me how to make this work!

Hi,

If you are using a local proxy (e.g., proxomitron) with your brwoser, set the browser's proxy configuration to bypass gmail.google.com.

I just experienced this problem this morning. The invite system wants to open a new window and it's being blocked.

@ bigoldalphamale

yeah. There's a thread on fark.com where they're really moving.

I tried to give some back here yesterday and got no response.

amonkie 09-01-2004 04:02 PM

Hmm, did anyone else still have invites to give and find that they are no longer there? I went to check my mail today and I had three left to give away that seem to have suddenly disappeared.... Google is sure keeping the limit of accounts down.

alkaloid 09-01-2004 06:57 PM

Thank you thank you for sending me the invite J0hnB!
Thank you thank you for offering one to me bgivnin!
I love you guys.

AngelicVampire 09-02-2004 08:52 AM

Still no luck, they are picked out in red and do not appear to be a link... however it still says that I can invite...

I'm guessing you have a popup blocker? 'Cause the invite screen is a popup so that might be causing a problem.

glytch 09-02-2004 04:53 PM

you might be waiting a while for those pm's..... there seem to be quite a few of us trying to give out invites, but few takers....

In 2 days, I've given out 1 invite..

I guess tfp doesn't really need invites or something. :confused:

yakimushi 09-02-2004 05:48 PM

I've got a few. yakimushi (at) gmail.com if you want one.

Back in the game with four more invites.... Shoot me a PM, include an email address for me to send it to, and voila! :)

tropple 09-03-2004 11:55 AM

There's been a thread over on fark for gmail invites. No one here wanted mine, either.

gulfan 09-04-2004 12:35 PM

I'll take one. ksnaden@shaw.ca please! :)

Krycheck 09-04-2004 10:13 PM

Totally forgot about this thread. I gave out 4 on #tfp the other day.

Oh and yeah, check out the fark gmail thread for some http://forums.fark.com/cgi/fark/comm...IDLink=1109924
