Considering that my real hd is only 3 gigs, that's a very tempting offer.

Tired of ads?

Considering that hard disk space costs Google less than $1/GB, this isn't that big of deal for them. It looks to me like they are trying to track their $1 per e-mail account per year model that they instituted last year.

I am using 11% of my account now (out of 1,368 MB). Nice increase.

Of course you'd say that GMail has an awesome interface. You use Windows.

Those of us used to a proper GUI tend to expect something more.

I don't think we're talking about the prettiness, we're talking about the functionality.

Of course you'd say the clients you use have better interfaces, you value prettiness over functionality.

I don't know of any GUI clients that properly integrated gmail search, nor gmail labels...they all download all email locally and then use much slower search/virtual folder mechanisms to do the same thing.

I believe I read somewhere that Google now offer every 5th or 10th (or something like that) visitor to gmails page to sign up, so you can be lucky to get an email account without anyone inviting you

More annoying is the 10mb per message limit. Have they upped that? Gmail is blocked at work so I can't check.

If you want to send stuff larger than 10megs, ZIP/RAR everything and set it to split every 9 megs or so.

Between WinRar and GMailFs, I can store an incredible amount of stuff on Google and use it as a work e-mail account.

I'm going to have to phase out my Hotmail account. What would be nice is if you could actually import mail into Gmail. That way I could nicely transfer all my old mails from various accounts and have everything nicely in one place.
