Gmail is it any good
 
i have seen a bit about gmail but wanted to know from any users if its any good ..the reson i ask is that ntl email system is quite often on then off .
i get sick of it .:mad:
and it always seems to be when you need it most ..:erm:
so would it pay me to have another email account ;) :)
thanks for your help.,.,.:)

Good time to ask actually, most if not all gmail users should have 50 invites as of the end of last week.

I use it almost exclusively now.
As far as the interface goes, I've seen nothing that gets close to it (although deleting could be easier)

It always pays to have a backup email account. I've not had any problems with the service, the spam levels are quite good on mine (0 so far lol) and the storage that you are given is extremely handy for keeping copies of documents or emails that you need to keep while re-installing your O/s etc.
Now that Gmail has POP access it's even easier to use ;)

50 :erm: I have 5 and that's as many as I have ever had since I got my initial invite to join Gmail :cry: Seems I keep getting missed for new invites :(
Agreed though, the drop down menu system is a bit of a drag for deleting if you use the web interface.

Thanks chaps .i've now got a new gmail address.;)
its a shame you cant change it ,when you have created an account .
seems a bit long winded to have to delete an account and start again ..
but there we are ..
many thanks .,.,.,cliff the oldgit :)

If you think that the deleting could be better, that you would rather delete the spam folder etc in 1 foul swoop then please use the help system & contact the gmail team about it.
It is only if many people mention it that it gets bought to thier attention.

Deleting spam etc is the only problem I have with Gmail, otherwise I think it's great.
As for 50 invites, I must have hundreds with all the accounts I have, I have all of them forward to 1 account.
Most useful

Can't complain. I've had mine since Blogger offered it to me months & months ago. Handy and easy to find stuff, despite it's size. I seem to spend most of my time archiving, however.
