Gmail

Has anyone else received a beta test invite to the new Google Email Service called Gmail?

https://gmail.google.com/

A Google approach to email.
Gmail is an experiment in a new kind of webmail, built on the idea that you should never have to delete mail and you should always be able to find the message you want. The key features are:

Search, don't sort.
Use Google search to find the exact message you want, no matter when it was sent or received.

Don't throw anything away.
1000 megabytes of free storage so you'll never need to delete another message.

Keep it all in context.
Each message is grouped with all its replies and displayed as a conversation.

No pop-up ads. No untargeted banners.
You see only relevant text ads and links to related web pages of interest.

Google's out of control!!! - check out this new little feature:

Search using Google, even when your browser isn't running

Preview search results in a small inset window that closes automatically
Access Google from any application by typing Ctrl+Alt+G

Use keyboard shortcuts for multiple Google searches, i.e., Google News (Ctrl+N),Google Images (Ctrl+I), or Froogle (Ctrl+F)

I've been using Gmail for a week now. But I have not received any invites to send out. Did it take you a certain amount of time or emails to get the invite for others?

I've also set up my outlook to autoforward important emails to my gmail account so it will always b quickly available.
