I am still waiting to get a gmail account. /sigh

I have a lot of invites left for GMail. Get at me through FReepmail if you want one.

i use gmail and like it, it supports POP and i extract the mail to my MS Entourage (Outlook for Mac) and it works well

for signing up for stuff

i use spamgourmet.net

i have used this service for years and it is terrific.
it is an expiring email tied to your real email in which you set the number of emails you would like to receive.
between 1 and 20. i love it
i can give my email out to machines with confidence that i will just get what i want.

GMail. OK, rdb3 - you're an acknowledged expert in such stuff here....

Can you bring us lightweights up to speed as to the negative connotations? I recall a lot of commentary when it first came out - all suggesting a "I wouldn't do her with your ten foot pole" scenario.
