That's 1235 MB, to be exact I have been using Gmail as my primary email for about 2 years now. No need to delete anything any more.
Ya, gmail is great to use as a central forwarding point. Then you can set up filters and forwarding to route your mail to various places. I even have a filter that sends Paypal notifications to my cell phone! Only 9% for me right now.
First i was using nearly 20-25% of the space but now its reduced to 6% after lot of downtime glitches.
Iam diverting some of my important mails from other mail ids to gmail to access them in future if I need. Iam hoping by tomottow I may occupy 6% of available space.
PM me your existing email, I'll drop you an invite Or if you are feeling really generous, comment on my blog (right next to my name). Have a gmail article going on right now that'd be perfect for just such a request...
I am at 0% I've set up my gmail on outlook express, all my mails are downloaded on my pc (no, I don't keep a copy on the server )
