Very left of your screen about 1/2 way down page should say something like invite. Add the persons email in the text box and send it.

You only receive your invites after you have send your first email via

gmail

Is there a "timeout" like on Hotmail where you need to access your account regularly within 30 days or it is locked ?

As far as I know there is no timeout.

It's much better than hotmail. Less crap and I find it easier to use and it seems faster. :)

[desert_storm]

There is a time out. 

If I remember right it is nine months. 

[Andrew]

If that is true it is better than Hotmails 1 month. I already had one account reset because of it. But I will be getting rid of that account as I'm moving to GMail.

got mine last april, sent 49 invites, and promptly forgot about it. checked it last month, had 50 again. since then, its been going back to 50 every week. is it a bug or something, or is the same happening to you fellas?

heard gmail's going public this april (though not from a very reliable source)

[erjin999]

Once its public there is no "Invite" system ? Better use them up now then  ;)

[Beonid]

Problems. I clicked on the link and it said that something was wrong with browser or something.

[Boba Fett]

Which link???

[desert_storm]

what browser???

[Beonid]

The link on the email that sends you to the registering page. I use IE 5.5.

[rigel6669]

Update your browser to latest version 6

Sent one your way.

What am I gonna do with 50 invites?  :O

[erjin999]

1. Make 50 hotmail accouts, send them invites, then get 50 gmail accounts....no, thats wrong, then you would have moreinvites then you started with...

2. Make a thread on a board you visit and hand them out free...no, been done before...

You could go with option 1 and close the accounts when you finished, I guess you wouldnt get the invites back  ;)

[desert_storm]

did you know that yahoo will be getting a 1GB storage to?

[Andrew]

Yep. All thanks to the competition of Gmail.

They must be getting hit hard.

rumours say that it's the other way around. .... :-X

[Andrew]

Gmail is now offering over 2 gb of space and counting (www.gmail.com) for free.

Storage is an important part of email, but that doesn't mean you should have to worry about it. To celebrate our one-year birthday, we're giving everyone one more gigabyte. But why stop the party there? Our plan is to continue growing your storage beyond 2GBs by giving you more space as we are able. We know that email will only become more important in people's lives, and we want Gmail to keep up with our users and their needs. From Gmail, you can expect more.

Hotmail plus offers 2 gb, although you have to pay $30/year for it.

Gonna have to convert my friend who has hotmail and has not gotten the 250mb space yet. Stupid hotmial.

First it was the search engine wars, now the email wars. I love competition. :)

[Digital Guerrilla]

Can you still get one?

[Dunenewt]

I've just sent one to you.
