Brother Adam Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 You can now chat from your inbox with G-Mail. I dont' know whether to be annoyed or think this is cool. I think I'm annoyed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sojourner Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 It's up and going now? I thought it was still in the works ... I like it. It means I don't have to download a separate IM program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[right][snapback]880608[/snapback][/right] [/quote] No. So far the only thing to be activated is the ability to save your google chat messages in your email. I like the idea is what I meant. I hate having three messengers up at once. Four would drive me nuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morostheos Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 It's activated in mine. I like it. Since I have an old Mac, I can't download Google Talk, but now I can use it through my email! I think it would be really cool if they included support in there for the other types of screennames too like they do in Talk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm wondering if they're activating them based on the age of the accounts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A box shows up on the left side of the screen that says "quick contacts" and it shows all the people in your address book with gmail/google talk accounts that have it activated with a green/red dot next to their name.
