Gmail Storage Ticks Upward, Lags Yahoo, AOL

7 Comments

a list for alternative for these services

Yahoo is Unlimited

"one has to look at Yahoo Mail"

It's Unlimited storeage for users of Yahoo Mail

Not True

Our writers write about a lot more than Google. All you have to do is look at webpronews.com current headlines.

As for Gmail storage, I have two accounts... one is maxed out, the other is at 69%. Neither is used for file storage.

I Agree with Rich Ord

I read webpronews (especially enjoy the video interviews) because of the relevant news in my industry. They are NOT Google-sided...

And yes, as far as Gmail storage goes, well...I must be an archival phreak, as I can fill up all three of my Gmail accounts (personal, almost non-personal, and non- personal G'accounts) on any given month.

I must say that I've had an MSN (Hotmail) account for over 3 years, and even though it has such a large capacity, I don't use it anymore, other than checking it every other month.

And (why do I have so many accounts?) I also have Yahoo Mail, which I've begun to use more and more. I still prefer GMail.

From it's interface/usability - it takes my vote as the best online email system (although, I pull it via POP3 with Mozilla Thunderbird most times).

Just my 2 cents...

maybe the google writers here could quit writing and ask for a job at google,as its the only thing they write about.

To my opinion the huge storage of gmail is completely useless.
its the same as goes on with hosting companies,just for $4,95 a month you get 20gb traffic and 30gb storage,what a bull.
And thats just the trick(which is a public secret)...customers never use it !
thats why these hosting packages all look great.
Same goes for gmail,how manny people actualy use the storage gmail offers ?

I asked some friends and i couldnt find one,highest was 33mb used.

and as i read the story...google reads your mail....well maybe thats why the storage is so high.
cause when there's enough space you dont delete so easely...and then google has all the time t read,...just an idea...

What about AOL or Yahoo?

Yahoo and AOL both do unlimited webmail right now, for free. They have millions of users. Someone's putting some value on storage.

value ? With normal or even

value ?
With normal or even heavy mail load nobody would use it.
gmail was abused with file storage some time ago,dont know if thats still goin on.
with some simple scripts written you could use the storage to store files,most of them were illegal.
