Wow, you must be a server god. The Edit button, of course it stops a "server is busy" error which posts twice upon a refresh :rolleyes:

You two take it elsewhere. I'm not reading this thread to watch two girls and their handbags have a fight.

If you insist on continuing we can take your silliness into pm'ing, but a "Server is Busy" is an IPB error which is served by.....Neowin!

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.

i'm getting currently 1184MB of mailbox size

[Sn00pY]

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]

[hazart]

It would be nice to increase the attachment size. By doing that, Gmail Drive would be more useful (limit= only 10 MB actually).

Exactly! ;)

[Sn00pY]

Hrm yeah but if Google increase their attachment size i could see alot of people abusing it - which would mean they could get ****ed and start restricing things...maybe?

I've already got 2GB with Yahoo!Mail as it is. But what's the point? I use a tiny fraction of all this space. I was fine when I only had 100MB :x

585706886[/snapback]

Yea, but still 2GB :woot:

[drgrudge]

I have got 1223mb now! (Y)

Lol i have 1205 now :p

This is getting ridiculous, if you go on the gmail.com site, they have the current space of each mail box for each user, and the size of it at the moment :p

[.Atlantis]

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?

[HoochieMamma]

Up to 1207 MB, He He Alllll Riiiiight

I think Gmail are trying to take over the world!

[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

Or atleast the internet :rofl:

[Scraggles]

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.

[phire_nuk3r]

It seams to be incresing at a rate of 10KB's every second, at that rate, they will reach 2GB in under 22 hours.

[.Atlantis]

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..
