First off, welcome. And thanks
for agreeing to help us test Gmail. By now you probably know the key ways in
which Gmail differs from traditional webmail services. Searching instead of
filing. A free gigabyte of storage. Messages displayed in context as conversations.
So what else is new?
Gmail has many other special features that will become apparent as you use
your account. To help you get started, we encourage you to visit our
Help Center, there you can browse
frequently asked questions, read our
Getting Started guide,
or contact the Gmail User Support Team. You’ll also find information in the Help
Center on such topics as:
  • Importing your contacts
    from Yahoo! Mail, Outlook, and others to Gmail
  • Using address auto-complete
  • Setting up filters for incoming mail
  • Using advanced search options
  • You may also have noticed some text ads or related links to the right of this
    message. They’re placed there in the same way that ads are placed alongside
    Google search results and, through our AdSense program, on content pages across
    the web. The matching of ads to content in your Gmail messages is performed
    entirely by computers; never by people. Because the ads and links are matched
    to information that is of interest to you, we hope you’ll find them relevant
    and useful.
    We’re working hard during our limited test to improve Gmail and make it the best
    webmail service around. Thanks for taking the plunge with us. We hope you’ll
    enjoy Google’s approach to email.
    Thanks,
    The Gmail Team

Men jeg ventet vel med å akseptere invitasjonen, til jeg hadde internett, på the Forge, da. Noe sånt. Mvh. Erik Ribsskog PS 2. Her er mer om dette: like før jeg flytta til sunderland at fikk gmail http://vgd.no/forbruker/data-og-internett/tema/687737/tittel/har-en-gmail-invite-til-deg/innlegg/8322828#post8322828 PS 3. Men jeg var litt opptatt, av å beskytte identiteten min, på nett. (Sikkert fordi at jeg hadde overhørt det, at jeg var forfulgt, av ‘mafian’, året før). Så jeg opprettet en egen e-post-adresse, da. (Nemlig efcnsno@hotmail.com). For å få tilsendt en eventuell Gmail-invitasjon til, da. (Noe sånt). Så sånn var det. Bare noe jeg tenkte på. Men men.
