[Newby]

Yes!

You can watch a ticker as they raise the cap. It's pretty cool!

[UserLoser.]

What ticker?

[CrAz3D]

"You are currently using 16 MB (1%) of your 1448 MB."...I don't have 2 gig

[UserLoser.]

Yes, 1448 for me too.  I could have sworn it just said 1447 a few minutes ago

[Meh]

Thats rediculoues mind. You dont need 1gb of space. It will take years to fill it.

You are currently using 26 MB (2%) of your 1449 MB.

Log out of your account. It'll go to the login screen with the ticker on it.

It went down

They're dynamically giving every account more space as the space becomes available.  They're letting reach and go over 2 GB, if you read the article clearly.

That's the point. Hardly anybody will even use 200mb, and they know this. They can keep giving more, which makes them look good compared to the competition (now that other email providers are raising their space limiations.) I'm sure Google probably has the space, as it's got like the most elaborate network in the world - is the only site that has had 100% uptime, etc. but they're never going to need to use all the space for gmail. Even if they didn't have it, they could continue to give it out. It's like hotels and airlines, etc. when they overbook - knowing some people will cancel.

I hope this isn't an April Fools joke.

On topic with Gmail, does anybody know a speedy way to import ~100,000 messages into Gmail from Thunderbird?  Right now I'm using the Google Mail Loader by Mark Lyon but its horribly slow.  At the rate that it is going, I should have everything imported in more than two days time.  Are there any faster methods or is this as good as it gets?

You are currently using 5 MB (0%) of your 1590 MB.
I think they did this to compete with yahoo, which recently increased their space to 1gb.

[Mangix]

[hismajesty]

Dude, get GMail.
