[OFFICIAL] Inbox Invites

I back read this thread to try to figure out how everyone is passing along invites once they have Inbox. What is an OP and how do I get my name on it? I'd like an Invite please and thank you and I'll be glad to pass out any here when I get a chance to, Thanks!
No problem. All you have to do is ask. I'll add your name to the list. :)

Op means (depending on context) either "original post" or "original poster".

So if I said I would add your name to the op, I'd be adding your name to the original post. If someone said ask the op, the would mean the original poster, aka the author of the thread.

Thanks, I went to the first post and it was started by you, The OP. I see 12 people pending and I'm 28 more below them, but there are some that are crossed off below me. Good deal. I've had my eyes on all the tech podcast reviews and Inbox looks soooo Kewl!
We've all been waiting awhile and things started moving along today! For every invite given, three more should become available, so now that invites are actually rolling out, you shouldn't have to wait too long. It grows exponentially!! Hang tight and check in daily, as we're passing invites along to the next on the list if people don't respond. The thought is, that if they miss out, there will be even more invites available as it moves along, and they can probably get one the next time they check in.

Post a reply in this thread and we'll add your name to The List.

Please avoid sharing your email address publicly. When someone has an invite or invites available they can private message the next person or people on the list to get their email addresses. Also be sure to post back in the thread once you get in so we can scratch out your name. :)


**Added private message links. Click a name on the list to send them a private message.**

The List


-------------------
Edit:

Here's a copy of the PM I sent, in case anyone wants to hand out invites in a similar fashion. Feel free to copy/paste if you'd like or not. Everyone is entitled to give away their own invites at their own discretion.

How is the list set up? Are the names on the bottom there last or first? Just got my second batch of invites to hand out.

Go from the top down, so the next three are Swindelljd, Freebee271, masterofmayhem. The ones with pending by their name have been sent a PM but haven't been invited yet.

The ones at the bottom of the list in black have been invited already.

Swindelljd, Freebee271 have been sent a PM. I'll let you know when they accept.

I've found my first problem. I have three Gmail accounts. One that everything dumps into. One for my church that I use Google Apps for Business and one for my School (I'm a teacher). All of my school emails dump into my "dump" box. However, I don't do that with my church account, I keep it separate.

I just used one of my invites to invite that account to inbox, but now I can't activate it because I've activated my "dump" inbox. It says, "Your organization isn't set up for Inbox yet."

So I may have wasted an invite.

I *want* to say that you can use Inbox with multiple Gmail accounts, but I'm not 100% sure.

I did find this over at the Inbox support forum though: https://productforums.google.com/d/topic/gmail/XkYuRcmEQ8Q/discussion

I'm not really trying to combine the inboxes. When I click the hamburger and see accounts. I tap on my dump account on the drop down arrow. Then I see my other account. I tap on it and that is when I get the message that my account is not yet set up to use inbox.

When I go to my invite in that account, it says install the app and activate it there.

I'm wondering if Google Apps for Business are not ready for inbox.

Secondarily, is there a way to pull back an invite so that it's not wasted?
