why I sent an email to Gmail account with 2.5MB, but it was returned with “Your message is larger than the destination computer is willing to accept, so it was returned.”?

Hi Shai,
Wow, I didn’t realise it was an invite only thing. I’ve been reading about it in the newslpaper and didn’t catch that part. I’d be interested, as I tend to hoard email, too, but only send if no one else dazzles you. I’m not totally happy with Yahoo email at this moment. Everything seems to take so much longer and I have lots of times when I press buttons and nothing happens. Mmm, this is only since they changed it over.

You have dazzled me! I am actually asking for your consideration to being a judge on my website when designed for undiscovered artisans who otherwise would have no other way to show their talents to the outside world. All ages, but they must be unpublished and first time exhibits. Yahoo, I am hoping will take interest as well and assist me in providing these so-deserved artisans with some small hope they too can provide others with a product that is unique to them with a future of who knows? I will contact you down the road when the site is up and can be seen as the great homeroom for the otherwise disadvantaged. Yahoo has been a leader in standards, but it’s talent that makes one a leader and like Yahoo, you carry a very impressive talent

I don’t know how to dazzle you but I would like an invite to use Gmail because I like saving memories and I have hotmail and I always delete messages to make room for other email messages which sucks. So let me know what happens. Thanks for reading this. Oh yeah, this comment box area is too long. The navigation menu bar goes over it and I can’t see part of my comments. Though I’ll let you know about it.

Hi Shai,

If you still have any GMail invitations I’d love to have one. This seems like an
interesting way for Google to get users–by allowing current users to invite people.

I just recently started a blog. It seems like the blog phenomena is about to explode.
Do you have any theories about why? Blogs themselves have been around for a long time.
So have bulletin boards and forums. What is different about blogs?

I guess that for one this, the RSS syndication makes it a lot more convenient to follow
blogs–without clogging up your email mail box. Blogs differ from bulletin boards,
forums, news groups, mailings lists, etc. in that they generally reflect a single voice.
I think that makes a difference.

In any event, I am convinced they are about to explode. Currently, very few people in
the general public–even those who are internet savvy–have heard of blogs. Within a
year that will be completely different. Almost everyone will know about it.

– Russ

Thanks, Heather. See my email.
Aidan: Thanks for the link. It made me laugh. I know nothing is ‘free’ - as in free. But, the things that people say about Gmail just amuses me.

Lora: Wow! I’m stumped. What can I say? Thanks for all the kind words. And, yes, let me know about the site you mentioned when it’s ready. I’ll see what I can do to help. Thanks again.

Riley: Thanks for your interest. I’m afraid I’ve given out two invites already. Why not try Yahoo mail? They’ve increased their storage space too.

Russ: Thanks. I’ve posted my response to your thoughts on blogging via email.
