Digit forum memebers,

I just want to know what is the minimum login period for GMAIL?
coz im using that account via POP3, so i never logged in.

also, how to increase the number of invitations?

Yep. Kalpik is right. I never liked POP3, so I login thru the browser only. Regarding the invitations, you cant increase it. Google People do.
Earlier it increased automatically, but now it ain't increasing.

You dont have to worry about the accounts, since they increase it when they have to.

I once had 100 invitations, I gave one to my dad hence left with 99. After a few days it increased back to 100.

I Dont Think It Expires..

Invites are no use Nowadays, cuz Google Directly Gives Signups

I don't think that the link is for GMail account, Afaik, Google account & GMail accounts r quite different!

And yes! Afaik, GMail accounts never expire...

Gmail will expire in 30 days if you don't login within this period.
And I think there is no difference between google a/c and gmail a/c, isn't it guys..?? If I am wrong, plz tell me the difference.

:eek: And Yes. I am facing a problem for last few days. Plz gimme a solution.
I am using Gmail POP3, I am receiving mails quite well without any intrupption but sometimes (not all times) outlook express fails to Send mails says :'There is some problem with SMTP'. But after 1 or 2 hours its again started to Send messages.
Whats the problem..??? Why it fails to send messages every now and then.
ANY SOLUTION..?????

Me thinks the most no of invites any 1 can get is 100 thats y mine never increased above that. So maybe whenever we use any they might get increased over the period of time dunno somewhat that might be the logic.
