Acabo de recibir la invitación por parte de Blogger para ser uno de los primeros en “disfrutar” del nuevo y polémico servicio de e-mail de Google (Gmail) en calidad de tester, y como no quería desaprovechar la oportunidad de sentirme mínimamente especial, he aceptado de buen agrado.

Para todos aquellos que tengan un mínimo de curiosidad, paso a pegar el contenido del e-mail de bienvenida que veis en la captura de arriba:

From: Gmail team
Subject: Gmail is different. Here’s what you need to know.

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. You’ll find answers to most of your questions in our searchable help section, which includes a Getting Started guide. You’ll find information there on such topics as:

* How to use 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.

You’re one of the very first people to use Gmail. Your input will help determine how it evolves, so we encourage you to send your feedback, suggestions and questions to us. But mostly, we hope you’ll enjoy experimenting with Google’s approach to email.

Speedy Delivery,

The Gmail Team

Bueno, pues eso es todo, ya os iré contando mis impresiones sobre la marcha (de momento he podido comprobar que [aún] no incluye publicidad en los correos salientes). Podéis aprovechar y alimentarme el buzón ( netdancer -arroba- gmail -punto- com ), que da un poco de pena verlo tan vacío…
