Sim31 Posted June 12, 2004 Share Posted June 12, 2004 Hmmm... On my Gmail account, It appears that the "Report a Bug" feature link is not there anymore, It seems that The Reporting a bug stage is over now, this might be a hint that Gmail Maybe possibly be released this comming next week or at the very end of this month, not to sure.. What do you all think? Notice any bugs still or appearance problems or suggestions? And along with them sending out all these invites to people...

incubusdaemon Posted June 12, 2004 Share Posted June 12, 2004 I think it will always remain invite only. Look at the buzz it's generated. Plus, it also keeps people from opening throw-away accounts they will never use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sim31 Posted June 12, 2004 Author Share Posted June 12, 2004 I do believe he means when its released for public Registering, when people just want to check the service out to see if they like it or not, they would register for a account and if they didnt like it or just dont care then they be wasting that account when someone else could put it to use..

Markko Posted June 12, 2004 Share Posted June 12, 2004 They are still adding features. While Gmail does not currently support this functionality, we are workingon many new features to improve the Gmail service. You might be interested to hear that we are working on the following: - Automatic forwarding of your email to another account - Plain HTML version of Gmail - Import/export Contacts We hope you enjoy Google's approach to email. Sincerely, The Gmail Team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matt74441 Posted June 12, 2004 Share Posted June 12, 2004 What does? invite only stage? I meant that people sign up for accounts that they never use. We probably have quite a few of those here at Neowin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aldo Posted June 12, 2004 Share Posted June 12, 2004 I think invite only would be very cool (and I don't have an invite yet!) :). This would make it an exclusive service. Also, it would mean that throw-away accounts would be much less and therefore there would be no need to have an inactivity thing (like.. don't sign in for x days and your account is suspended). But, hopefully this is just one of the many portal-like features Google has... I love the idea of Google keeping the front page as clean as it is now, but having loads of great portal-like feautres like Mail etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KzR Posted June 13, 2004 Share Posted June 13, 2004 If Google were to open their Gmail service to the public any time soon, those who bid or worked hard to get an invite would be cursing hard. :no: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wannes Posted June 13, 2004 Share Posted June 13, 2004 ill get one when i get invited or when public openings happen but i see no need to get one before that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cracell~ Posted June 13, 2004 Share Posted June 13, 2004 Then you tell us why the "report bug" button is now gone. :) it was there very shortly, they changed they mind, probaly error reports coming from it were from stupid people, error reporting is still available in help-> feedback, they have annoucned other features (someone else pasted the email), anyways they just decided that the "report a bug" link didn't give them any valueable info, that wasn't already coming in though help>feedback Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[jon] Posted June 13, 2004 Share Posted June 13, 2004 I must say.. I would much prefer if Gmail stayed invite-only - much more fun that way :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KzR Posted June 13, 2004 Share Posted June 13, 2004 I don't think Gmail will stay as an invite-only service since Google already announced that it'll be a free-for-all service after BETA testing. I'm sure the spams will start coming in after it opens. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
