Our university department is dishing out G-mail addresses, does anyone know what it's all about, supposedly like hotmail but better from Google. People are going crazy about them as we all have an 'invite' each for another account...

But what's so special? Anyone know?

Rich, this has come up here a few times before.

Try searching G Mail on this forum, although seems to relate to the old beta accounts. Paul may know more

Oops sorry, two previous topics on it.

Hmm, thanks, looks like it's 1GB of storage - could be handy sounds more useful than I thought!
