    I just found out that gmail actually sells more space on their accounts :eek:
    So it's not quite all free?


    This is how my account looked:

    so this is what they offer:

    I wonder how many people use this as google doesn't seem to advertise it a lot

    All they need now is to sell you php/mysql support and you have yourself a Google server with unlimited bandwidth for $500/year...

    Why not just open another account?

    nah, actually only a few are spam, most are from my fans and lots hot girls that want to meet me :p


    Seriously I have like 10 gmail accounts, all for different stuff, this one I used for article submissions - so yeah if you submit articles to all the article directories, better get another account, unless you want your to look like that :D

    That's a lot of email. I am only using a fraction of the free space gmail is providing.

    I heard that Google is increasing it to 10GB with the long-term plan being that they will make it unlimited in the near future. Isn't Yahoo unlimited right now?
