Google rumor proves true

Can't see a file size per email limit on my test account. Truth is, most ISPs won't let you upload an E-mail that is larger than 10-15 megs. ISPs will land up regulating this one for the most part, without Google having to do a single thing...

I find it funny that people are worried about "sending business e-mail and having your competitors shown to the recipient". Would you really want to use a free mail service for your Emailing? God, I am soooo tempted to filter everything out from Yahoo and Hotmail. EVERYTHING. Period. If a person can't bother to make a real E-mail account with their ISP at the least, I am not sure I want to deal with them. Today a gmail account is a novelty to those few of us that have it. Soon, everyone will start signing up, and the novelty will wear off. In a year, anything you get from gmail.com will probably be the equivalent of something from hotmail or yahoo (when was the last time you got something useful from these addresses, from a person you already didn't know? spam, spam, spam is all I can say).

I am currious to see how Google will get around touchy subjects though... someone mentioned an E-mail about a death in the family... What kind of ads if any would be shown in such an E-mail? That's what I am currious about.

Think that arguement comes in where the recipient is the Gmail User. You have no control over what Ads are added to your email before they recieve it.

Fair enough, didn't think of it that way... just heard someone talk about being a business and sending mail from Gmail, but yes, there is that side. Still, at the end of the day, I think it'll all balance out. Look at forums such as this one: I have a link to my forum in my sig, and no one jumps the ship from IMR to join my forum instead.

If you do good business, chances are you don't have much to fear.

Hey guys! Why don`t you catch up... Even Yahoo is offering 100 mb and I think its pretty good now.. Rediff has offered 1GB mail.. So I think we all now have plenty of space.... Happy Emailing............
