A question about Email

Recently, I have getting very annoyed with hotmail, as it fails to read so many emails I get sent, not showing pictures, glitchy, etc, when the emails getting sent are perfectly fine.

So the question is, Im looking for a more reliable email system thats compatible with MSN Messenger. Any ideas?

You need an invite to get into GMail. I have lots of them, fortunately.

PM me your email and I'll get you an invite.

I have no idea why they don't just make it free. They keep giving us invites.

It's to stop spammers setting up loads of free accounts.

That's probably part of it. But then again, once you have an account, you can just invite yourself again...

It will be more complicated and time-consuming to create 9999 accounts at Gmail versus the other providers. That's why. :3

I've always had Yahoo! and it's been great to me.

Gmail has 2745 mb of space.

Gmail's good, and it's pretty simple. You don't get all the annoying advertising and stuff you seem to egt on Hotmail. And there isn't a lot of colours, which is actually kind of nice. It's just simple.

I'd just go with Yahoo! simple as that.

Gmail is good and all, but I think it's a little plain. I think Yahoo mail is the best.

I actually get more spam in my gmail than I do in my Hotmail, although most (but not all) of it is filtered out.

Gmail is still the best email system that I'm aware of though.

Yeah, I noticed the odd invite thing. I was like, "yeah yeah, enough with the introductions how DO I REGISTER?"

I got my mate to send me an Invite

Thanks for the offer though

No matter what you do, using your gmail addy to register for your porn sites and other questionable internet memberships, will indeed get you more spam than and alternative idle acount.

It is the poor sheep's way of getting back at you.

Haha, the thing is, I've never used that email address to register for anything, nor have I posted it anywhere.

I'm happy with Yahoo! Mail. Their spam filter works well for me.

I may have slipped you in as a reference for a site or two! Bring a friend! It makes porn fun! :love:

yahoo mail is irritating because you have to click to get to the inbox(same goes from hotmail if you're loading it from the site) and you have to log in almost all the time. every two weeks with gmail is hardly bad.

besides, there's more available names on gmail ^_^

I only use Yahoo because Hotmail was having a spaz attack on the day I tried to join up. Gmail didn't exist at the time. And when I say spaz attack, I mean it came up in Japanese and nothing we could do would persuade it to give us the application forms in English.
