Google Mail for Gamingforce

I applied for the beta test of Gmail Hosted. This allows Google's Gmail service for the gamingforce.org domain name! This will allow all users to get an @gamingforce.org email account with Google's sweet Gmail system. I'm not sure if the site will get accepted or when it's going to happen but justed wanted to let ya guys know.

Oh wow, that's sweet. I just LOVE the Gmail service/system. I'd definitely get a GFF email address as long as it's a reality and it's free, haha.

Oh man, that sounds much better than using the old system. I still use http://mail.gamingforce.org/ to access my gamingforce account. Of course gmail has much better features.

That would be really awesome. I hope that we get accepted.

Sweet, tuberacer@gamingforce.org will look hella impressive on my job applications.

Suppose we do get accepted, would we have to use our board names or could we choose our own?

You will be able to use any name.

If the site gets accepted, I'll probably just use that as my main forum email. I've always liked Gmail.

Watch it tell me that my name is too short to be used. Then I'll be saddened.

Then I guess mine would be too.

I just learned like two weeks ago that GMail had pop3 access. I had no idea until then.

It's not like I need another e-mail account, though. I've got like five pop3 accounts in Thunderbird

This is very awesome, of course.

I really didn't even know that Gmail had such a feature...

I like gmail but I never use it >.> mainly because I really don,t use a lot my email (they are mainly for some board subscription not really to go right e-mail to firend r receive a lot of them) so I mainly use hotmail, because of msn ans because msn tell me when I have mail so I don,t need to go check everyday to s ee if I have some new mail ...

but anyway if GFF does get accepted i,ll be pretty happy and maybe I'll use it more often XD

Disregarding your grammar, Gmail has a feature like that too, so you don't need to log into your email acct everytime you need to check to see if you have any new messages.

Also, if you use a personalized google homepage, it has a section for GMail, which tells you if you have unread mail, and a preview of the most recent five emails.

Although I already have one, I wouldn't mind another, especially if it's @gamingforce.org which is just awesome in a can. I can just put a redirect on my other account concerning certain mails.

I use Trillian for IMs, so You've Got Gmail has proven to be a lovely plugin.
It's not always 100% reliable as it sometimes says 0 emails even when there's new mail in my inbox, and I haven't for the life of me been able to open my account directly by clicking on the bar thingie (always get an error message), but for quick checking for email, it's a real blessing.

I'm definately up for this, assuming it won't cost me anything.

oh sorry I didn't know, and for the grammar, english is not my "first language" so sorry >.>

well I just found out this gmail notifier, so I'll be more then happy to have this feature now XD

Oh, I didn't know it wasn't your first language, so I apologize. Gotta love Gmail!

Now if only it would get rid of the 40 spam messages a day I get at drex@gamingforce.org. -_- I'd have to re-sign up with a new address, because that account is just about useless nowadays.

An @gamingforce.org account would be hot. osnap, should I go "naz@" or "nazpyro@", assuming we're limited to one. I may not have a choice if "naz" is too short (no self-joke intended).
