Mail Beta takes advantage of promising web design tech to make you feel like using a mail client not a webmail. Sad, Kahuna loves me not. :(

HOW DARE YOU SAY IT LOOKS LIKE A MAIL CLIENT!!!!!

You see, if you say that, Bill Gates will start placing adverts into Microsoft Office 12/2006. And that would lead to severe trauma in my head, due to me bashing it like the attatchment. :yes:

Not sure, as the space meter is not available in this Beta yet, but they're planning on bringing it back. IMO, while it looks nice and clean, it still functions very much like an early Beta. It's not reliable enough yet for me to use permanently. And, selection is randomly based on demographics.

from the FAQ...

How much storage do I have in Mail Beta?

Back to top

Everyone using Mail Beta has at least 2GB* storage. If you happen to come within 50MB of this limit, you?ll get a notification e-mail. Most of you will find 2GB of storage enough for a few years of e-mail before you need to start deleting messages.

*(2 gigabytes means 2,000,000,000 bytes)
