Rediff Joins The 1GB Webmail Club

Posted by timothy on from the interesting-matchmaking-ads dept.

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.

    How did this get modded as interesting? I've only heard of the index being stored in RAM. It seems unlikely that all X billion pages in the google cache are in RAM.
