Check it out...http://fury.com/images/weblog/gmail_expanded.gif http://fury.com/images/weblog/gmail_collapsed.gif These are screenshots of an actual conversation between Jason and me, and shows an example of Related Pages. Related Pages aren't ads, they're just similar pages from within Google's web crawl. Nobody pays for them to be there.
Ads don't appear on every page. I'd guess they come up about once every 3 or 4 messages right now. Sometimes you get ads, sometimes related pages, sometimes both, sometimes none.
Often they're eerily relevant. A Related Pages link to BoingBoing came up twice in my mail today.
Anyhow, I'm sure more screenshots will appear on the web soon.
:shy
Is pop access included?
If it had that, goodbye yahoo, hello gmail.

"6. Does Gmail support automatic forwarding and POP3 access? Not at the moment, but Google believes in helping people access information whenever and however they want to do so. In the future you will be able to access Gmail messages from non-Gmail accounts for free or at a nominal fee."
Thanks for the superquick reply.
Hmmm, screw the forwarding, but gimme pop3 access and I'm sold. I need something else for my Thunderbird to access, hehe.
I think they should cut your storage in half if you select a pop3 accessible account. That would be better than having fees and all that bullshit that yahoo has been doing.

This is something I really am looking forward to. I'm so sick of Hotmail's bullshit 2 megs.

You know what, this Gmail will probably have to cut costs for new subscribers and shit like that, so I'm gonna register as soon as it opens too.

www.spymac.com
1GB email account with POP access
all free
I'm pretty sure that hotmail will increase that size before Gmail even premieres or it will have no chance of getting ANY new subscribers.

As well as VERY slow, unreliable, and so far ineffective (at least for me).

I second that. I hear nothing but bad news from people who used this. Better to go with google. Its insane not to go with such a widely recognized name when its free and the company is known for quality.

i have a spymac account :D its slow but at least u get pop3 access
/me hopes they get new servers
does anybody have additional info on how the ads work for gmail?
Google scans the email, picking up on key words or phrases, I assume, and delivers relevant text ads. Note that this does not constitute as spyware.
True, Spymac is slow.
I tried spymac and everything is fine for me, instant messages and everything comes up quick. the only thing that I can't get working is to send an email through the pop(smtp) access.... everything else is working fine...
