When will G-mail go gold?

[David Prahl]

Does anyone have any firm dates (or months, even) when Google's new G-Mail service will be open to the public?

Nope, but in the mean time I've signed up for the free 2GB mail service - AventureMail (http://www.aventuremail.com). :D (not Adventure, Aventure.)

2gb is tight. too bad the email address would be so long

I've heard of this before, my concern is that this company might not be around in the future. The point of a GB or so of e-mail is to maintain a long term record of it. I have a little more confidence that google will be around for the long term.

I could get up to 32gb (more if I had the cash) of email with my site but its not free
I think my acct is currently set up for 50MB which is comfortable, I don't even need to ask or pay when I need more (I purposefully set my acct. limit under the total amt. of disk space availible)
