I wonder though, maybe they wont bring it to the UK. They could just keep sending endless emails saying "Upgrades are coming soon!". *sigh* at least I have Yahoo.

Especially since it was Rob she quoted!

I love Yahoo...but I also love gmail.  With me backing up files, Gmail will actually let me have an unlimited number of attachments...

I think they did that to compete with Yahoo, which went up to 200 mb from 2 mb. :o

They did it to compete with Gmail. Maybe they figured, most people would see they have enough trouble filling 250Mb and would rather stay with their familiar address than move to Gmail and get some extra 750Mb they're never going to use :-\

I still haven't used more than 1MB in GMail.  As long as you keep emptying your Junk and Trash regularly, you'll never hit the 1GB or even 100mb limits.  ;D

And that's the clever thing, it's all just marketing, getting everyone escited, because they very well know that no one will ever use more than a few meg! That's why they can afford to offer it... imagine the several million Hotmail customers all filling 250MB... thats a hell of a lot of HDD's!   ;)

But it is very handy for school.  The floppy drives are always retarded and eat your disks.  I used to just e-mail stuff back and forth, but in order to do that, I had to make sure I always had enough storage.  Now it's like.. pfft, storage?  :P

The idea behind GMail was that you would never delete anything that wasn't obviously trash... you would instead use your GMail account as a Google-searchable archive of all the e-mails you send and receive. Google, of course, benefits from getting to show you their text ads targeted to the content of your e-mails.

This isn't at all far-fetched... Harrison never deletes his e-mails unless he's forced to, several of my co-workers are the same way, and I'd be willing to guess they're the norm instead of the exception. (One of my co-workers even had his computer keep crashing because Outlook could no longer handle the huge stash of e-mails he had archived!)

There are a bunch of e-mails I receive regularly that I delete constantly: forum notifications, job agents and spam :P.  So, usually I trash them right away after reading them and eventually go to the Trash bin to permanently delete them.  With Hotmail, the junk/spam used to be the thing that would kill my storage space.  ::)

I actually don't mind Google's ads at all, since I rarely see them.  I noticed that they only appear when you read archived mail.  If you look at stuff in your Inbox, you don't see them.  :D

I tend to save most of my e-mails(as in, save them to files on my PC). 8)

Ive been using my yahoo account as temporary file storage as it give you the option to save emails you send, including attachments which is useful if I want to listen to a song or something at uni and ive forgotten my trusty usb key thingy.

BUT still no 250MB for me yet :'(

Fatali was saying yesterday that his just changed to 250 sometime in the last couple of days.  So it's still in the process.
