The email program is by referral only, no other way. After you have been on gmail for a while, you get 50 invites to give out to friends, family, people on FTE or whatnot. I have several email accounts on there, because I use it as a drive on my computer. You can also skin gmail such as I have. Check out my post called "Skinning Google?" I placed in there a screenshot of my Gmail after it was skinned. Gmail also gives you 2GB of space for emails, and it's continually growing. When I first got it, you got 1GB, then they had their 1 year birthday so they upped everyone to 2GB.. now I think it's at 2409.982357MB and counting. Just go to gmail.com and it'll give you info.
I have one called xerosist and that's where I store music that I want to keep. Then I have one called admin87 and I put videos on there along with random documents that I have then I have the romerb2 one and that's where all my emails go.
