Hey check it out, gmail is 7 gigabytes now. The limit on gmail is constantly increasing, incrementally, day and night. When I first started using it a couple of years ago, it was a little over 2gb. This is very cool.

Just for comparison, remember those little flat floppy discs we used to use? You could store dozens, maybe hundreds, of emails on a floppy. 7gb is something like 6300 floppy discs. When I first started using Web mail, Yahoo gave you 3mb of storage, Hotmail have you 2mb. 1 gb is 1000 mb. And it’s free.

Yahoo mail is unlimited now. Which is great. But the features just aren’t there, like conversations that keep sent mail and incoming mail together, and labels. Labels let you organization mail by multiple topics or people, instead of deciding on just one folder to put them in.

I’m using 16% of my limit, and I have about 12,000 conversations stored. Some conversations have several e-mails, so that’s a whole lot of e-mails, kids. Plus I often store large photos and videos in my gmail account.

You can use gmail with almost any email account – like Cox, verizon, even Yahoo. And it’s much better than messing with a downloading software like Outlook or Outlook Express, in my opinion.

So I guess I’m sayin, I really like gmail.
