The email wars are here. Yahoo announced that it would give its users 100MB mailboxes to prevent users from moving to GMail.  What Hotmail does is yet to be seen.

But Google has come here to conquer.  According to the latest, GMail is now saying 1TB of data per user!

From Google Weblog at google.blogspace.com:

Apparently "kicking it up a notch", Gmail now indicates that users have a full

terabyte of disk space! Mine says:

> You are currently using 437 MB (0%) of your 1000000 MB.

Is this a mistake or a genius leapfrogging of their competitors? (You've got to

imagine that few, if any, users will go past 1GB making this mostly a marketing

gimmick.)

Called Rosh and got a screenshot of his GMail account. It does seem to have increased to a TB.

 

 

Compare that with my Hotmail account:

Notice the additional storage provides only 10MB!  Long way to go MS, long way to go!

Yay, if yahoo increases its space. :-)

Hey that TB thing is just a rumor/mistake. Mine still shows 1gb and I think the free service will be for 1 GB only. Even for google providing 1 Tb doesn't seem practical.
