How many Gmail invites do you have?

Post by Mortal-God »

As Google's Exculsive club known as Gmail becomes well less exclusive, just about anyone who wants one has a Gmail address and has for some time. Never the less, Google continues to provide invites indiscriminately. How many invites do you have right now?

When I looked in my inbox today I noticed that the invites were no longer at the top after panicking that Gmail might have possibly come out of Beta, I soon noticed that the invites were at the bottom left... and I had 56 of them. I decided it would be neat to see how many invites all of you have been so generously given.

Vote however you like, it was intended to be how many you have right now, but if you want to sound more impressive with a total of how many you have gotten, go for it.

I never seem to have more than 6 at a time for some reason. On the contrary, I have sent out about 40 or so.

I haven't logged in for ages [goes and checks]

Oh, how typical (hammers F5 key to try and force it to log in as it sticks on the "Loading" screen)

*gets presented with white blank page*

*hits Ctrl+F5*

*gets presented with white blank page*

*goes to gmail.google.com*

*waits*

*hits F5*

AH! There it is!

I have 6. I guess it's because I rarely use it. The POP3 access is unreliable, the login is broken under IE6 and Mozilla browsers, it refuses to load under IE5, the interface is very clunky and I don't especially enjoy adverts being splattered all over the place.

Until they added support for a decent mail protocol (IMAP anyone?) GMail won't get much loving from me.

hmmmm... yeah I didn't have more than 6 for the longest time, then again I hadn't checked in a while. I was really surprised to see 56 available. Maybe I am just lucky :twisted:

I have 5 right now. So far I have sent out 2 :P. However, I do enjoy Gmail and use it as my primary account. I also have a yahoo one that I use to sign up for things (I think I have 213 unread messages as of the moment) so it gets a lot of spam. I vary rarely check that one. Gmail, I use every day though :O.
bananas... o.o

www.dodgeit.com This is great for spam and emails you will never use. You don't even have to creae an account. You can check anyaddress@dodgeit.com . Simpler interface than google.com, too.

How odd - it said I had 6, so I sent one and now says I have 49 left.
