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

What ticker?

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

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

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.

Ah, neat

You are currently using 16 MB (1%) of your 1455 MB.
:( 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.

i have a yahoo account. its still 250MB :(.

Dude, get GMail.

2050 megs, mmm.

You are currently using 4 MB (0%) of your 2051 MB.

[/quote]Thats why I said it doesn't make sense.

You don't take into account the square root. Silly Craz3D

Square root of what?!  Since when do you square root stuff to find a percentage?  Has math changed THAT MUCH since I last took a class?

You are currently using 1 MB (0%) of your 2051 MB.

[code]function updateQuota() {
  if (!quota) {
    return;

  var now = (new Date()).getTime();
  var i;

    if (now < CP[i][0]) {
      break;
    }

    var ts = CP[i - 1][0];
    var bs = CP[i - 1][1];
    quota.innerHTML = format(((now-ts) / (CP[i][0]-ts) * (CP[i][1]-bs)) + bs);

Haha I find it funny that I have the most lol.

Well everyone seems to be having problems filling their 2GB or so of space.  Well, no need to worry, there is a solution...

I, like some of you, believe google is playing a clever bluff.  Their outlook is that by the time a user even uses 200 MB of space, the technology will be there to support they space they promise now...

I'm currently using 181MB of a maximum of 1.50G.  Of course, I can repartition and get more, if I need to, but I don't see that happening anytime soon.

Meh.  The extent of the email use I get from Gmail is for school.  Most of the time I just email papers to myself.
