Reply #19: I have a ton of invites, and here are some other advantages:

[barackmyworld]

PM me if you want one, with your email address. I have several accounts, all with 10 invites each. I love gmail for 3 reasons:

1) Truly amazing spam blocking. It is so accurate!

2) I have some accounts that are archives of other email accounts. I have all of my school emails forward to a spare account, leaving a copy of the email in my regular school account. That way, I can get my school email through Mac's Mail (which I love) but I can always have a copy saved, on gmail.

3) the search feature works is fast, unlike Hotmail and other crappy free mail.
