News that Gmail Storage is Increasing in January 2008
"…But wait: Google not only increased their storage limit to 6 GB (by January 2008), but the "rate of increases" has gone up by 10X, meaning that you'll be unlikely to need more storage in the future as the amount you have passes 10, 11, 12, gig. But even there, if you need an industrial-strength 40GB mailbox now, it's not like anyone's stopping you. Google offers this. That'll cost all of $75."
Traffick's Andrew Goodman also brings up a particular feature of Gmail that I and many others have difficulty with - the "threading" of conversations makes it hard to locate some messages and on occasion, I have missed messages that others have sent to me because they are threaded into an already defined thread and it's hard for me to see the message:
"… have to address another common concern among new Google Mail users. People are quite uncomfortable with the "threading" of emails into conversations, and the AJAXy presentation. Granted, it's a bit tough to get accustomed to, but the clear advantages in terms of recall, speed, and coherence are something I can prove to you — because I still also use Yahoo Mail daily."
