I'm not so sure that has much to do with it. Sure I have e-mail
accounts at other web-based mail providers, and while they all are
trying to compete by allowing more and more storage space, I really
like the way Gmail does several things.

I like how they automatically group threaded messages into
conversations, I like the way their filters work, and how easy they
are to set up, and I like that I don't have to pay extra to have my
mail forwarded to another account, or to have POP access.

That being said, this is not a gmail forum, it's for Fedora, so please
don't take my comments to mean "lets start a huge flame thread about
mail and news readers" or "my mail/news reader is better than yours".
The intentions of the original poster were to offer up invites for
anyone who wanted them. That was cool, and would certainly be
appreciated some people.
