    Gmail adds another free gig of storage, other features

    And the best just got better!



    G is for growth
    Storage is an important part of email, but that doesn't mean you should have to worry about it. To celebrate our one-year birthday, we're giving everyone one more gigabyte. But why stop the party there? Our plan is to continue growing your storage beyond 2GBs by giving you more space as we are able. We know that email will only become more important in people's lives, and we want Gmail to keep up with our users and their needs. From Gmail, you can expect more.

    We're not in the plains anymore
    Fonts, bullets and highlighting, oh my! Gmail now offers rich text formatting. And over 60 colors of the rainbow. Discover a land of more than just black and white.

    ...more in the link...

          Lol I saw that too. Roy G. Biv my friend Roy G. Biv.... 60 colors HA. And that google gulp thing was funny. Actually as of right now the space is still going up just slower than it was. Gmail is THE greatest. I left yahoo in a heartbeat when I got an invitation from my friend.

                as long as ur not doing illegal bulls*t, you should be fine, honestly how many people are going to talk about bombing a building and whatnot over gmail...., i would trust no email service with that kind of information...., plus, whatever google wants to do fine, they are a large company, and if they want to read my email fine, thats cool....

                        actually gmail has one of the best spam blocker/sorter of all the mail applications.


                        I have two gmail accounts my spam account as you mentioned for signing up for crap online, and my main friend/known people account.

                          For one thing, Gmail is free. AOL is not. There is also the fact that AOL limits it's PAYING customers to 100MB while Gmail gives everyone 2100MB for free.

                          There are so many reasons that AOL sucks it isn't funny.
