This is pretty funny from the Gmail faq:

"It has ads. But only good ads."

Yeah, for now, it's invitation-only. Gmail is still in beta-test mode.

same here. but then again i get at least 200 pieces of spam a day.

can you transfer over address books easily? i don't want to have to enter 250 new email addresses.

my friends who have gmail, love it.

It looks awesome…my hesitancy is that I've had the same email address for 5 years.

Do you need to be invited?

I have a buch of gmail invites if anyone wants one PM me with an email addy to send them too. Just FYI Yahoo and Hotmail (and others prolly)forward the invites to Spam folders (guess they are afraid of the competition!)

You don't make Smithers check your messages do you?

Lily, you can import your Yahoo addresses…I'm doing this now.

JB, my invite went in to my Yahoo Inbox – cool!

just remember that GMail will serve up ads by scanning your e-mails for key words. So yeah, a Google bot's reading your e-mail. Some folks won't be bothered by that, others will.

The other free e-mail systems can scan messages as well. You pay for what you get. ;)

Might as well jump on, I've got 6 invites to give out myself. These are my second round of invites. First ones went fast, now it seems like everyone already has an account and they don't want them. Good time to get in and get those "hard to get" email address…930Club@gmail.com, F.Black@gmail.com, GirlieMan@gmail.com…you get the picture.
