G-mail  promised free e-mail without having to worry about deleting anything. Well ...

Free G-mail? I don’t think so

 
On April fools day 2004 Google launched G-mail with the slogan “never delete another e-mail “. Well that’s terrific but I just received a message from G-mail that looked like this

" your message cannot  be sent because you have exceeded your storage quota "

This is completely nuts! G-mail promised unlimited e-mails and now they want me to pay $20.

 Maybe that was the April fools Joke of 2004 three years later, good one Google.

 Google forced other giant online e-mail providers to give large volume inboxes and Yahoo now even has given a limitless volume for its on line e-mail system. Google may be forced to do the same but in the meantime has a good gimmick of slowly adding free space every day. The free space is up to 2888MB and counting.

 
For someone like me who HATES throwing things away deleting G-mail is tedious and painful. I have started to do what I did not want to do anymore and the reason I switched to G-mail in the first place.

Before you reach this limit be sure to delete manually your spam and trash folders though Google does this once a week allegedly.

You could also backup your files on outlook or thunderbird. I can’t believe I just wrote that as I hate offline e-mail programs.

Go figure.
