A networking idea for FIRST teams through GMAIL

rufu5 · #1 13-04-2006, 10:22

Is there a way in gmail to search for all of the e-mail address that have a common set of characters in the name? Like get all of the emails from gmail that has FRC FVC or FLL as the last 3 letters? Just wondering.

I don't know if a person on my team created this because 694.FIRST@gmail.com was taken. But they didn't put it up on this thread, so I'm not sure. However, (and sorry for the nonuniformity) 0694.FIRST@gmail.com is now created. And i have two gmail accounts (one for email and one for file storage) so if you need invites email me at nathan.bixler@gmail.com

It most likely was someone on your team. I would try e-mailing it and asking at your next team meeting who picked it up. It is always good to know who is your team's "voice"

Not YET.....I will be making one (or try to) that you can use to search through gmail addresses that have FIRST, FVC, FLL, FRC in them but i have to contact google about this. (maybe ill see if they can just set up a version of their google search to do this)

I highly doubt google will ever do anything like this for anyone. The ability to enter a string of characters and receive a list of valid emails would be amazing help to spammers.

Yeah it was created. 694.FIRST@gmail.com exists. I'm not sure who its forwarded too but at least it is ours. I know who created it.

ROFL! I did not even think about that when I posted. I can just see it now: "Search: [punk+sk8te+rocker] - 26,819 results ... 26,819 messages sent - DO YOU HAVE YOUR 2007 BAM MARGERA eXtreme COLLECTIBLE TURTLE NECK and ..."

Well I guess we will just have to stick to posting on this thread after you set up your account.
