the best thing is you can use the search tool to search for things in your mailbox.

it's pretty cool, epecially for my youth group. I just search for names or dates of events and BAM! it's there.

i really like it. :D:

Micah already gave me one and I am quite happy with the account.

Thank you though.

EDIT: Actually, is it possible to have more than one gmail account? If so, I may just shut out my two existing accounts which are swimming with ads, especially from true. And while they show many beautiful women, I do not quite enjoy seeing more of them with their breasts or other body parts hanging out.

God Bless

She means she made extra accounts for herself with her favorite screennames before someone else created an account with that name. I've actually seen alot of "littleflower"s and variations floating around.

So they take your name if someone else wants it?

I am still not completely clear on this.

Thanks

katie is right...i got the names that I wanted while I still had a chance.

when you sign up for any email you have to see if the name you choose is available to be used and not already used by someone else--if so you gotta find another one or add something to it

gmail is through invite only--that means all the billions and billons of screen names that are usually the first ones taken on yahoo and hotmail are avaiable for you to use now since their not all take up yet (meaning someone used the name you wanted for the email first).

now i think gmail is alot bigger in its audience so you just gotta hope the name you watned isn't already gone. either that or add numbers or spell it different--which i never liked lol

so what i did was go and give myself the emails with the names i wanted so I can have them to use whenever i need them. worked out great. :cool:

Yeah, like if you want your e-mail address to be JohnSmith@gmail, if someone already has that e-mail address it will tell you its not available (ie, taken) and to choose another ID. Flowery is saying that she chose the IDs she uses for her e-mail accounts and made 3 accounts since all the IDs she wanted weren't used already. So, for example, she could have johnsmith@gmail, johnsmith2@gmail, and johnsmith3@gmail. The next person who wants to make an account with jihnsmith@gmail won't be able to because the name is taken, they have to choose another ID name. They can't take your name once you set up your account, by "take" we meant "not available." Someone else already created that ID for their account. Like if someone tried to make a Theologian In Training account here on phatmass, they couldn't because you already have that screenname created on the server.

Still confusing?

No, it makes sense, and probably always would have, if I had just let my brain kick in for a second and realize what you were talking about. Sorry about the confusion.

I was thinking something completely different, that if you created a name already that someone could freely take it. Don't ask me why I thought that, because I should have known better, but I guess my brain was focused on the other things that need to get done, and did not have the ability to think something simple through in order confuse something that should not have been difficult to understand in the first place.

Sorry about that

God Bless
