(it's interesting to note the long list of offers and the strange captcha that asks you to enter the largest 6-digit number from a picture like this:

There is still 30gigs.com if you want lots of space... That is whenever the site is fast enough to react, I suppose they are having serious performance issues...

/pd capcha's of Lycos seems readable for me if you consider only the largest numbers...

You gotta check your email at least once every 30 days or it all gets deleted. Ouch!

Or, you can pay a $5.95 per year "Account Preservation Fee"!

The $20/year 5GB "Plus" offer looks good though.

Walla

3 Gig Email

http://walla.com/

Then again, it's only a matter of time before Gmail breaks the 3 Gigabyte barrier. We're currently at 2750 MB (2.75 GB)

Indeed & Walla works well (where 30gigs does not...) but with a very sober interface & functionality...

It's pretty much useless once it's goes up to 1 GB. I only used 14% of my Gmail's storage (about 400 MB), and people don't like to switch email that much.

hmm, unlimited size attachments would be quite nice. but you could only send them to other people with unlimited size attachments...gmail returns mail that's >10MB. When is gmail going to raise the attachment limit? I bet they will at some point.

Haochi, I started deleting mails again the moment I reached 33%. I may not dream of the moment I reach 80% or so, but I'm still rising.... :<

What 's really insane to me is the fact that I have over 500 MB of stuff in my gmail account and I'm only using 19% of my account. It wasn't all that long ago that I had a whopping 2MB of space using hotmail :D

Google and the growing technology spoiled us. GMail = Wired, Hotmail = Expired.

yeah lycos interface is irritated and it has huge ads

3 gb is not a big matter

you know mailnation.net gives 1terabyte freespace............ only for americans actually but use a american proxy and register you will get 1 tb free space and with no ads at all the interface is like outlook

but everymonth they send you a survey you need to fill it or else they will terminate..........
