Joining the GMail Elite

So I was invited into GMail today, particularly good timing considering I’m about to leave for JavaOne tomorrow and while I’m away I’ll also be moving house meaning that my home mail server will be going offline. I figure this way I can just redirect all my email to my gmail account for the couple of weeks I’m away and see how it goes. If I like it I’ll keep my mail redirecting over to Google, if not I’ll switch back. The biggest complaint I have so far is that GMail doesn’t have any support for PGP which I was just getting into the habit of using. Sigh. Guess that’ll be a feature request. Either way, I’ll get to feel cool because I have a GMail account. I’m just a little surprised it doesn’t come with a Mickey Mouse badge….
