Not enough space. psh.

I now know what happens when you almost fill up your gmail account. Google kindly tells you of this issue and warns you that you should probably start *shock* deleting stuff.

Oops.

But I don't want to delete anything!

How the?
I'm using 30 megs.
You've gone through over 2.5 gigs?
Wow.

[squeakers42]

hehehe. I've been using this account since 2004, and I get A LOT of mail.

"You are currently using 2682 MB (92%) of your 2899 MB."

Thats now... it starts warning you at 95%. I was up to 96% last night. I then went through and deleted all the server logs to servers I don't manage any longer.

Ah. I was doing a similar thing at one point.. but then i branched into having four e-mail accounts.

Work.. which forwards all System/outage/event stuff to a Webmail/IMAP setup on a server that I share with a friend at a hosting facility. My Treo then syncs with that. That way the really important stuff is filtered out, and is always avail on my treo.

Personal one: My current one at Gmail
Personal two: The $oldName at gmail. I'll slowly kill it off.
Spam acct: A random word @ gmail. I never check this, it's my throw-away for registering website logins, etc.

With the Gmail notifier (Or is it manager?) for firefox, it watches all my Gmail accounts, and notifies me new mail. it's simple, it's clean, and tons of stuff is auto-tagged. Gmail truly is the best friend of me, and my personal sorting/filing system for e-mails. I think I have about 100 tag types defined. :)

yeah, I have a ton of email addresses, too... they just all get directed to gmail, and then I have a bunch of auto tagging and archiving, etc. I really love it. I'm just... well... running out of space.

I would love to download and delete past years stuff, but I can't quite figure out how to maintain my labels. My emails are honestly useless without the labels. Plus a lot of my email was hand labeled, so I can't just do a search thing.

Wow! I've been at 2% for about a year now. Of course, if I didn't delete all the obnoxious chain emails from my mom and uncle, I'd probably be in your situation. Those two really need to get a hobby.

?!?!?!?!?

Dear Sweet Evil Jesus Woman!!!!!
I have like ten years of my life form age 6months to like 10-11yrs old in pictures saved in my gmail and I'm at like 12%.
Are you hiding a dead body online?
Can you teach me how to do it?

hahaha! hotmail has 5 gigs of space now! *dances*. My entire 0.5mb feels really small in such a cavernous space!

and I also have an additional .5 gig to store files with my hotmail account.

I feel special!

[dmolla]

Just wanted to let you know that I was able to get my hotmail account down to 224kb! woo!
