Gmail - Coming soon!

[fancyf]

MOUNTAIN VIEW, California (AP)

-- Search engine Google Inc. announced Wednesday it will launch a free, Web-based e-mail service to compete against popular services from rivals Yahoo! Inc. and Microsoft Corp.

Google's service, called "Gmail," will include a built-in search function that will let people search every e-mail they've ever sent or received.

According to company executives, users will be able to type in keywords to sort e-mails or find old missives. And it will come with 1 gigabyte of free storage - more than 100 times what some popular rivals offer and enough to hold 500,000 pages of e-mail.

:x :cool: :t

Not at the moment, but Google believes in helping people access information whenever and however they want to do so. Your email should never be held hostage by a service provider. In the future you will be able to access Gmail messages from non-Gmail accounts for free or at a nominal fee.


hmmm

It's already being done - FBI l think. lol

sounds promising - nice heads up ff - of course we'll all buy their inflated price shares. :rolleyes:

Sounds quite nice... It will blow hotmail out of the water if it is speedy and reliable. And I bet if they include advertising at least it will be discreet and not have 26 flash ads all over the place grinding my PC to a halt if doing anything other than "just websufing".

And if they support OE eventually I would hope they would support an open client like pheonix or somethign similar. (me dislikes OE...)
