Rediff Joins The 1GB Webmail Club

BGT writes "Gmail has for sure caused a furor by offering announcing 1 GB of space for free. But they are still in the beta stage and you cannot sign up for an account yet. Now India-based Rediff claims to be the first to actually start offering 1GB of space for free, with their Rediffmail service." (Spymac mail users might disagree with the "first free gig" claim.) Signing up for a rediffmail account was straightforward; the site has an intelligent add-a-contact interface when you send email to a new address, but lacks the searchability and multiple-label capability of gmail.

As long as we can send Outlook Express back to that accursed decade as part of the package. I mean, it only seems fair.. ;)

It's not the size that matters....

But how you use it :)

Seriously... I would still use Gmail even if it had 10Megs of space... it is too cool not to use it... now who wants Gmail invitations? :)

Not for me, thanks...

I think I'll stick with gmail. For one thing, they don't want to know where you live and what you named your pet!

I would switch to Rediff in an instant if they can turn my spam into a music and dance number with a large ensemble cast.
