GMail hits 5GB

it would have been a different story for Yahoomail, if they let free users pop/imap access. Unless Yahoo opened this up, i think Gmail is still handsdown the winner regardless of disk space

For everyday web sign ups, I use hotmail, (let M$ be bothered with spam for a change), for serious contacts and personal communications, I use Gmail for my domain. Yahoo? just for YM. :P

anybody here using gmail drive for backup?

If I have a Terabit connection, I’d declare Yahoo! the winner with unlimited storage. But I haven’t, and all you guys are stuck with the crappy bandwidth Philippine ISPs could only offer, as well.

Now I tell you, when you fill that 5GB of space Gmail offers within an hour like what I could do on my hard drive, that’s the only time I’d be leaving Gmail and switching to your ISP.

People are mostly limited by bandwidth rather than disk space. I bet that’s the calculation Yahoo! made before declaring the limitlessness of their resources. I wouldn’t waste time to transfer data back-and-forth from a remote storage, I’d buy another hard disk drive for that.

Its nice to have that storage capacity. At least spammers could not easily drown our emails with useless craps.

@vance: No, but Gmail crashes my Opera browser.

Me too, I’ll rather be happy if Gmail will update their mail interface.

way to go google. but heck, they know that 99% percent of gmail’s users can’t eat that 5GB.
