Google plans to double Gmail capacity


Recommended Posts

I fail to see how this ever growing limit is benifiting anyone at the moment. There shall be no-one who has used up 1GB of e-mails legitimately and be wanting more.

Now, please. Just because the limit keeps getting (theoretically) higher, doesn't mean you can spam Neowin about it. It's not benifiting you. Not at all.

Sn00pY. You need to relax, and leave the guy alone. Same with you Chode. I think highly of both of you, and to see you two fight it out just lowers both mine, and others respect for you guys.

OK...true i was being a bit pedantic...Sorry Chode. didnt think we would "flame war" over that...but hey...back to topic eh mate?

You are currently using 14 MB (1%) of your 1202 MB.

muhaha!

[if you wish to pm me Chode to calm the situation feel free - again sorry though]

Thing is, people. What you fail to understand is. Yes, we've gathered it's raising the bar every few seconds. But. So what? We're all going at the same stage. Hell, at this moment in time, it's just who-ever can be arsed posting first about how theirs grew.

Seriously guys, lay off the spam in this topic. As that is, what I regard it as.

A discussion about GMail and it's attempts to win this 'e-mail battle' is far more suited IMO. Again, I ask - lay of the spam?

[off-topic]Ahh, .Atlantis. The voice of reason.

Sorry Sn00py, having a terrible couple of weeks and I over-reacted. I'm sorry.[/off-topic]

Gmail feels very slow to me. Please everyone quit refreshing :p

Honestly, I don't understand how they can do it. They've got so many people out there that have g-mail accounts. Some, have more than one. Pretty soon Google will have to build additional buildings for more servers alone. I'll admit, having my gmail account for almost a year now, and I've probably only had about 20 pieces of junk mail. I've never deleted a single e-mail and I'm still only using 15% of my account. TO all those who are using more... something is seriously wrong.

After importing my e-mails into outlook... I have over 22,000 e-mails (most of which are forum posts and work related)

Google is just wasting space.

Like I said earlier. Theoretical space. IMO They don't allocate 1GB per new account. They just increase the size as more e-mails arrive. Therefore this major update that's sparked such controversy, is actually just text more so than anything else.

You didnt hear.. I forget where, somewhere in the midwest.... Google is having so much trouble with lack of power for their servers.. that they are building a new compound right down the road from a nuclear power plant.. Solely for their servers.. because they have so many and draw so much current that where they had them couldnt power them well enough..

    • I like the show more options. The only problem with it is that it's not always in a consistent spot in the menu. If the copy/paste/cut, happens to show on top, then more option is the last in the menu. But if copy/paste/cut happens to show on the bottom, then more options is before the copy/paste/cut. But I do like the more options because it hides the stuff that I rarely use. But I would like to choose what it is or isn't hiding. That would make it better.
    • I wonder if "put it back the way it was for decades" ever crossed their minds? 🤣
    • Rescind the stupid "Show more options" in context menus and just give us the full menu instead of adding more steps to get to what we want. The "simpler by default" makes me think they'll go in the opposite direction. Every context menu should have a configure button so you can pick and choose what options should be shown, I know you can do that with some registry fu but that shouldn't be required.
    • This is why competition must exist. Finally, pressure is mounting on Microsoft to move in the right direction.
