    It's been getting a lot of buzz. Since I don't use gmail it's not really applicable to me, but that's fine. I'm not sure I understand the point of it anyway.

    Is there any specific reason to use Gmail over any other public provider? I use my addresses on my own websites that I have full control over, and just use a fastmail.fm account on the free side of things.

    I got the invite yesterday. I requested the day before you.

    I like the look and the interface but I could do w/o the auto bundling by subject (purchases, finance, social, updates, forums, promos). It is easy to unbundle and create your own groupings. The snooze and remind features let you get back to emails at a designated time and/or to send a reminder to yourself. The search feature works well (search emails by individual sender or all inbox) but if you "check" the email after reading, it is moved out of inbox (into archives, not deleted) and I dont think it would show up in a search,

    I'll keep playing with it.

    My husband got an invite I did via their Happy Hour last week. Sounds like he likes it so far.

    I haven't heard much about this since the initial buzz. Anyone actually using it yet?

    I use my personal vanity domain via gmail. It's fast, easy, simple, and searching for old emails is crazy fast and intuitive.

    I just got an invite yesterday I haven't clicked it yet. I'll try it in the next day or so.
