seems like they block the web address. we go through a proxy to connect to internet and they have certain sites blocked. Pretty much all web mail sites are block for security reason ...

my school's web mail site is not block though

most major companies block outside webmail. that's kind of why I didn't ask you guys for a gmail account. I spend about 2 waking hours at home where I could check it and that's really not worth it.

Since you got so many invites, use one to invite my friend. His email is a yahoo one, chrislesliehynan. Reply if you send him an invite.

I think Gmail is giving out at least 5 invites a day now. Anyone who still doesn't have an account, or knows someone who wants one, let me know.

Any other people that you guys know that would "kick their mother to get a gmail account"? I'm up to getting 6 invites at a time and am running out of people to give them to.

I think it's funny that at one point, people were paying like $20 for a gmail invite.

Who needs a Gmail account when you can have an abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzabcdefghijk.com account?
