Using Gmail as a Primary Email Client
I have a second round of invites to give away. I’ll change the link text of each invitation to the username of each user who registers. Hopefully this bunch will be slightly more grateful than the last and comment here, at the very least. Stand up and be counted. (If you’d rather email me privately, my email address can be found in the “Secondary email: (optional)” field on the invitation you’re about to fill out. Or, if you miss that somehow, my first name [danny] at my domain name [quasistoic.org]. It takes a genious to figure that one out, I know.)

And if anyone wants to donate a bag of rice or a loaf of bread to me as a thank-you gift, I really wouldn’t mind. I could use it.

Thanks a bunch for the Gmail invite, Danny! I wish you the best of luck with your job hunt. I am in a similar situation and truly sympathize. When my situation clears up before yours, I’ll send you some rice and bread. Promise.

Nah, the postage would be a bit too much for bread from Germany, but I appreciate the thought. Enjoy the account.

Excellent! :-)
I’ve been after one of these for a while. Let’s see what this baby can do. I hope you don’t mind, I haven’t commented here before - but I’ve been reading your blog for a while so I feel like I know you. Thanks

Cheers for the open invite, mate.
I won’t lie, I was linked here from photomatt and haven’t ever read you before.

Your description of GMail makes it sound very much like M2, Opera’s email client. If you haven’t tried it yet - do have a play!

Be careful about the reply-to setting. Often, it will mess up messages sent from you to mailing lists, resulting in replies being sent to you rather than the list.

I like this website but I still don’t have an account :(

Peter: I will definitely check out M2. Looking over the description, it sounds very promising. I’m wondering how intrusive the ads on the free version will be, and I’ll have to look further into the paid version.
Mwarden: I don’t really spend much time on mailing lists, so I’m not too concerned. It would be nice if I could change the “From” email address instead, but I doubt Google has any incentive to implement that option.

IIRC the ads are pretty small if you opt for the text ads - but I registered Opera a long time ago :-)

I, for one, welcome our new GMail overlords.
I have been working dilligently today to export all my old mail from Thunderbird over to GMail using a cool little Python program that I found on the net. I also found another utility, an extention for …
