I hooked my main one up "Tue, Sep 7, 2004 at 5:02 PM" (anyone top that? it wasn'tsuper earlier but I'm sure was within the month it launched "publicly") and have collected a few others along the which I use all under the same original account. A few tips while we're on the subject of Gmail. The first is for email in general where you can tweak your address with a "+" modifier, for example sending an email to "myname+pressf1@gmail.com" would actually send to "myname@gmail.com" with a label set as "pressf1" (although some forms don't allow + in their validation which is wrong, "+" in emails is perfectly valid). With Gmail more specifically, dots can be used anywhere in an existing Gmail address too, for example "my.name@gmail" is the same as "myna.me@gmail". Those two tips can be used in conjunction with filter rules to sort email, especially if you supply family a certain one and sign up to promotionals with another. The last tip is that any "@gmail.com" account automatically has the "@googlemail.com" equivalent. As far as I know these are totally seperate accounts (although logging in with the same password) so maybe that's a good seperation for personal and promotional related email.	sal (67)

How did you find out when you signed up?	stormdragon (6013)
646244	2008-03-04 19:57:00	I did have a gmail account but I went to the settings menu and deleted/deactivated my account as I never used it. I just use my ISP email account fillterd with mailwashser, I have 2 main ISP accounts - my personal one and the one for online stuff and hobby stuff outside of the cyber world like hobby clubs and stuff or shop loyalty schemes. Having it in a software available when I want offline is more practical for myself.	Nomad (952)

646246	2008-03-04 20:22:00	I use gmail and love it. I used to have an ISP address, but moved to gmail entirely, partly because of its portability. I've had it since who knows when, I remember getting the invite from some auto-invite some guy put up on some forum (don't think it was PF1, but I might be wrong).	ubergeek85 (131)
646247	2008-03-04 20:39:00	I've been using it since '04 and it must have been one of the tech 'products' of the year back then.	jason_f90 (3544)
646248	2008-03-04 20:39:00	Yeah, I use it daily and in both web-based and IMAP form. I hooked my main one up "Tue, Sep 7, 2004 at 5:02 PM" (anyone top that? it wasn'tsuper earlier but I'm sure was within the month it launched "publicly")...Sometime in August, 2004. Not sure when exactly (I have deleted my invite-related emails) but the oldest message in my account is dated "Wed, Sep 1, 2004 at 10:27 PM".	Erayd (23)
646249	2008-03-04 22:59:00	Got an account, cant even remember why I created it now :confused: Must have been trying it out or something, but only used it once or twice.	wainuitech (129)
646250	2008-03-05 02:17:00	You could have setup outlook or thunderbird to receive gmail. Since I have ISP email I rather use that and it doesn't cost me anymore.	Nomad (952)
