Currently my ffav thing about gmail is lack of uneccessary images and other adverts full of pictures to lag up my modem. if you have a go of it though, can you post a screen? I dont think ill ever use up my 1gb though, lol, and i got the addy i wanted. jusging by the home page, it seems image heavy.

But this is pointless, after 1Gb, who needs so much space ? I don't see, apart from advertising purposes, the real benefit for those service providers. After the first gb, it's not really useful for the users either... edit : looks like more and more companies want us to keep our mails on their servers...

This way, they actually give you unlimited storage, but save a lot of space on their servers at the same time Heh, i found Mail.ru's solution to be the cleverest here - they give you unlimited storage, but in reality you only get 25 MB initially, and as soon as your account is occupied over 50%, your storage automatically increases by another 25 MB, and so on....

I'm still sticking with gmail though. It's much easier to access and use imo. MSN, Yahoo, etc. have also up-ed there game. MSN's space is now at 250MB. Not sure what the attachment size it however.
