On an aside has any one tried the accessible mail service at
www.accessiblemail.com free demo accounts available. I had a play with
it recently and it seemed good at first although it's hard to tell until
you start handling bulk messages. The sign up page is poorly written
not making it very clear what information you need to enter, for example
in the final box you choose a username for your at accessiblemail.com
address but the form just says "email".

Again, if you look thru their documentation you'll see they do plan to
do something about it. There are no further notes, however. That said
I am being slightly unfair as I've not checked for over a month ... I
just assume the worst which is very bad of me, especially as I rate
Google highly. Well, I did until they pulled the inaccessible email
stunt.

I've got a Google account, so have most of my friends. They are
sending them out on a test basis.
The big trouble is that Google mail is inaccessible. All done by Java
I think. Inaccessible.
If you look through their FAQs you'll see they are aware it is
inaccessible.

Hi Andrew,
It's still being tested, so you cannot subscribe at the moment.
However, if you go to Google itself (http://www.google.com) and search
for Gmail, you will find information about it all.
George.

Hi List,
someone who I know has got Google E-Mail acount and he
said
it is very good.
The question is how do I get an acount when there is no
sign
up page for it.
He did say you have to have an invite to hav an acount for
it.
Who do I ask to get one?
Does any of you know about Google E-Mail and how I can get
it?
Yours
Andrew Summers
