Gmail Users Get A Storage Boost [updated]

Faies writes "As reported by ZDNet: Not to be outdone by Lycos, Google just upped its 1,000 megabyte accounts to 1,000,000 MB. I just recently checked my inbox, and the number at the bottom confirms this. "You are currently using 12 MB (0%) of your 1000000 MB." That's more than my hard drive...and plus, Google clearly wants to hold the title of being best, so who knows what will happen if someone else tries to compete with a terabyte." Now how much would you pay? Update: 05/19 13:34 GMT by T : Several comments to this thread indicate that the listed mailbox size limit has returned to the previous 1GB level, so this apparent change may be nothing more than the result of a misplaced decimal point.

What are you talking about?
This wouldn't help warez guys in any way, you can't store stuff on an email server and let people download it from an email account, yer on crack man!

This size boost is only good for the account holder, and if you don't use your space, so be it, someone else will use more. You're looking a gift horse in the mouth though for absolutely no reason.

Those bastards, they just gave me more for less, how dare they?
