What's GabMail^TM?

GabMail^TM is a free, easy-to-use video email service that enables anyone with a webcam or video camera to send, reply to and forward messages to anyone with an email address.

Do I have to download software to use GabMail^TM?

No. GabMail^TM uses Adobe Flash, a program already installed on 98% of computers. It's always best to use the latest version of Flash Player though, so you might want to get it from http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash.

How do I sign up for GabMail^TM?

One of the best features of GabMail^TM is that you don't have to sign up to use it. There's no registration or log-in. It just works!

Will GabMail^TM work with any webcam?

Yes! However, if your webcam or computer doesn't have a built-in microphone, you'll need to plug one in. Inexpensive mic's can be purchased at any electronics or computer store.

• By the way, you only need a webcam to send a GabMail^TM.
• Anyone can receive a GabMail^TM.
