nie sig quick flash.
Gmail Search and Check << on that thing that rizzx posted.. OMFG OMFG!! THAT IS AWSOME ! ! ! U OWN MAN !! U OWN!

ok, but yea google should make a messenger.. it would definately kick msn's asss.. like common.. how many times has msn signed u off for no reason? crashed during a convo? simply failed to work?.. googles all about reliability, security, and shear greatness.. and im shure they will one day.. one day.. beat ms Razz

plus, yahoo and hotmail are now upgrading all old accounts to 1Gb of friggin storage! Dance Claping Head Bang

Indeed. If only there were a news post (or two) pointing out that bringing up very old topics isn't a good thing. Oh wait, there are. And you actually posted in one of them.

And please, let's try to tone down the emoticon usage.

Laughing Indeed Very Happy please stop posting on old, dead, and fairly pointless topics Surprised . *end useless emoticon use*

Anyways, does anyone know of a way to quickly forward all your hotmail messages to gmail? Damn hotmail probably thought of this sort of situation and doesn't have mass forwarding. Any way to at least quickly save all your emails to the computer? I would use gmail, but I have 600 emails in my hotmail account which I dont want to lose...

Couldn't you use an email client that downloads email to your computer (like Thunderbird or *shudder* Outlook Express).

yea i just took and hour and forwarded 50 emails from hotmail to my gmail.. and i set up a filter on gmail that all emails from my old adress would be archived automatically and label "old Email"... hotmail of course doesnlt want you to switch.. hence the hard forwarding and increased space.. hahah.. . . still pathetic wihtout forwards and labels!.. . .heres a cool picture

yea.. i uploaded 3 full dvds to my gmail account using Peer2mail..it auto splits and sends all 70ish 9.5mb chunks... did during the night and while i was at school the next day.. .. only takes a few hours but im not going to do while im at home Very Happy...i got 450down, 65up..

i dont think the 3rd one fit.. eek..gmail grows 3mb/day so it will be goon enuf in a week or so.. . austin powers 1-3 is in another gmail account and it fit nicely 2230 ...also got LOTR trig 2gb each, 3 more gmail accounts.. awsome as hell! simpple!! im suggesting to gmail that they make size per email be (size of inbox / 100) so its always bigger too Very Happy... i got 50 invites.. why not?... o.. btw: i did all that with a filter in gmail to auto archive them and apply labels when from die1@peer2mail.com die2 etc.

Guys, this is old. Can you actually think of anybody that doesn't have a GMail account and actually cares?
