It appears that the limit is _more_ than 7 gigabytes now:

'Over 7104.881016 megabytes (and counting) of free storage...'

It's been over 7000MB for a while :/
(Probably a month or two)

It will be 7 gigabytes soon. 7 gigabytes = 7168 megabytes.

I was slow to notice now :(thanks :) Is th exact date posted to forum etc.

If you mean when it hit 7000 MB it was the 5th of August.

They roll it out, it goes higher for early beta testers soon than for others. It's been 7281 for me for a while now.

Yes, I mean that date. Thanks, i.e. about a month ago so.

It was 7257.xx MB immediately after logging out, but when visiting Gmail.com again the number is less; 'More than 7107.857351' (and counting).

I've had gmail for a long time and i receive what i consider a large amount of email but i still haven't used up much space. I was wondering who has run out (i believe Philipp has said in the past that he has) and how? How much email do they get? How do they manage that?
