If anybody is still wanting gmail accounts, I have 100 invites going. PM me if you're interested and er ---- the first 100 get them.
Just in case I might have got this wrong - I log into my gMail account and it tells me in a small box at the bottom to invite a friend and that I have 100 invites left. Is that what you are all talking about? If I've got it wrong, and raised your hopes, so so sorry.
FWIW, I have been using it for over a year, never had 1 piece of spam, have occasionally been locked out (trouble at server) and use it with POP - never leaving either received or sent mails on their server.
