Gmail – account 500MB and rising
June 27, 2004
:happy I’ve been using some utilities found on the net to allow me to archive/migrate all my mail to my gmail account. So far i’ve managed to fill almost half my 1GB allocation, but it does mean that I have 10 years of email available to me anywhere at the speed of google.

:angry Humpf…. England played crap. When will they learn that you play a game to win, and it lasts at least 90 mins. Playing defensively after 10 mins with 80 to go is just crazy.
We lost and are now out of the competition.

100MB Dropload
June 23, 2004
:sun dropload.com has an interesting service where (after registering for free), you can upload files up to 100MB and then send an email to anyone to collect the file from dropload. All files are deleted after 48hrs regardless of if they have been collected or not. The purpose is to get round attachment restrictions placed on email services.
BT.Yahoo Strikes Back
June 15, 2004
:laugh BT Yahoo have come back to Google’s Gmail service, by offering: -
“…we would like to confirm that your email storage has increased from 50MB to 2GB* (or 2,000MB) for primary accounts and from 10MB to 100MB for secondary accounts.”
Gmail broke the mould by announcing that they were going to offer 1GB of storage. BT.Yahoo have doubled it, however the gmail interface is still better, with great keyboard shortcuts and some clever automatic organising of emails based on what you’ve done in the past.
What next? Hotmail to offer 10GB?
