er he means indirectly, by taking up a 'space' that could've otherwise gone to a more vet member.

what is pop3 and smtp? i am using hotmail....what values do i put for these?

 

[MSantiago]

Just a follow-up for moneyshot:

It looks like the invite you sent me was already used by someone named <removed at the request of my wife>. I appreciate all your generosity, though, and I'll keep looking around. The thread's been helpful and I'll keep looking--thanks!

How is it discrimination? He has a right to give an INVITE to anyone wants to give one to. Besides, he wants to give invites to members of AT that have contributed to the community (thus no lurkers), and been here a while (to weed out people who are only here for invites, haven't contributed, or he just feels like giving them to whoever he darn well pleases )

EDIT: btw, aggravating someone who is generously giving out invites is a surefire way *not* to get one

POP/SMTP access allows you to use an email client like outlook/otlook express/thunderbird/eudora/etc... as far as i know, gmail doesn't provide pop access, and is solely web-based (pop access would kinda defeat the purpose of the 1gb storage anyway, no?)

[websparc]

well if i dont put anything in those 2 blanks then it wont let me continue. I am trying to transfer all my hotmail emails to my gmail btw.

 

[Brazen]

I been here longer than most of you all... where's my invite?! Just kidding, don't really need one, I'm happy with what I have. I already got a hotmail account with my name before anyone else snatched it up and I don't even use it much. I like keeping my email local anyway.

...although a gmail account would be nice...

 

[froke]

I've had a gmail account for more than 3 days now and still have not gotten any invites to give away. What's up with that?
