Looking to get a gmail account

[Milhouse]

Would someone be so kind as to send me an invite so I can sign up for gmail and test OS 2006 some more?

Not sure how the gmail invite system works, but please either PM me or send an email invite to gmail at nmacleod dot com.

Thanks!

Have now received an invite - many thanks!

Though not having much luck... I'm in the UK, and have signed up and received a googlemail.com address - is this the same as gmail.com and will it give me access to Google Talk? I'm not able to connect to the Google network using my shiny new account - it appears to timeout :(

Anyone needing gmail accounts can PM me.

Hi Milhouse,

enter ...googlemail.com instead of ...gmail.com, then it will connect. I had the same problem, now it works.

Cheers

Thanks rubik.

Daniel - I think I must have entered a duff password! D'oh! Deleted the first account, tried again (using googlemail both times!) and second time it worked! :)
