Today is Gmail's 1st birthday we're getting the presents. Look at www.gmail.com and make sure you are signed out if you don't use your password each time you login to Gmail or you will not see what's on thier login page:
A Google approach to math.
On the eve of Gmail's one-year birthday, our engineers were toiling away furiously. Notes scribbled all over the walls. Complex calculations on napkins and empty pizza boxes. Millions of M&Ms.
The result?... starting today, we're beginning the roll-out of our new and top secret Infinity+1 storage plan. The key features are: Write, don't worry.
You want to stop caring about storage. We want to keep giving you more. Today, and beyond.
The gift that keeps on giving.
1674.461221 megabytes of storage (and counting) for every user.
No complicated equations. No tough algorithms.
Just this one graph:

What is really cool about the main page is the number is constantly increasing. When I'm logged in I see this across the bottom:
You are currently using 49 MB (3%) of your 1674 MB.I know that Yahoo Mail plans (http://whatsnew.mail.yahoo.com/) to increase free mailboxes to 1GB.Coming soon! 1GB of storage, free to all users
There's more in store with Yahoo! Mail. By early May, all free Yahoo! Mail users will receive an email storage increase to a whopping 1GB. That's enough space to keep thousands and thousands of emails -- so you'll never have to delete those important messages again!
While the above isn't really feasible for Gmail, here are some more realistic features they announced today: http://www.google.com/gmail/help/whatsnew.html ]
