Hey,
I opened my gmail inbox today and guess what I saw:

You are currently using 6 MB (0%) of your 2085 MB.

2085mb?!?!? w00t
 
Yep, while ago Gmail updated them... its abit of a gimmick, noone is really going to use that much, still. It's good :)
 
If you look at the main site, it's constantly getting bigger.
 
yeah gmail r0x0rs and your quote is awesome brick
 
Its 2mb more everyday
Is it still in beta?
I've had mine so long i don't invite people anymore

can they ban you for that? I thought it was email only... :/
No one has been baned for it yet... and it's been around for awhile.
Besides, you'd be foolish to use that on you main account incase they ever did ban for it.

Its beta but there not much beta about it now. :)
 
for every e-mail i think it is like a 10 meg limit they might have changed it
 
Why would they ban you for something like that?

It can't purely be for e-mails as in text, otherwise there wouldn't be a 10mb limit.
 
I have 50 invites, so if anyone wants one s/he can always PM me. I don't use it as my main account though. Once I thought of setting up a "GMail Farm", you write a server script that starts off with one account then u invite yourself continously until u have several accounts (you breed invites). Then you sell the invites generated on eBay and make tons of $$$$$.

Another idea me and my friend had was to set up TMail, where u get one TERABYTE of email space. Since, as someone pointed out kindly earlier, no one uses up that much space, it wouldn't matter how much space you offer.

One interesting I've noted is that a large integer always seem more attractive than an infinitive. Offering someone ONE ZILLION ZILLION bytes of email space will grab their attention more than simply "Unlimited Email Space", even though the latter is "better", so called. It's like lowering the age of consent to 6 years old, people will go crazy, whereas if you scrap the age of consent, you can always justify it by saying it preserves individual freedoms (although people will still complain of course). Even though the latter is as good as lowering the age of consent to 0, people will still complain more about the former.


*enough ramblings*
 
In GMail, is it possible to have all your emails listed individually rather than the grouped view when you reply to the message and get replies? :thumbs:
 
Their fine print is tricky, though. I read an article somewhere that states that Google owns all rights on deciding to disclose your emails to agencies (semi-official, ie, non-cops, even). That article might not have been a hundred percent accurate (or nobody would be using Gmail, would they?), but their fine print does raise a few questions.
