Up to 500MB attachments. Your even alloud to use it for storage.

Connection Error!
The maximum amount of concurrent users are currently logged into the server. Please try logging in later.
I say screw these people and stick with G-mail it is far more reliable and dependable then some weird site offering 1TB of space. | |

| | | Why does DSL reports waste time on these topics? I mean the poster should know that »somedomain:8383 is nothing more than a private Imail server!
Is anything screened here before its greenlighted for post?
And just to clarify ... has anyone tried to transfer a 10 gig file across 100mbps lan connection? It takes about 30 minutes! So go figure on broadband (about 0.5 mbps) it would take HOURS!
America's infatuation with bigger ... more ... gimme more just continues to amaze me? No wonder people are FAT, OVERWEIGHT and OUT OF SHAPE!
"Yes I would like to supersize that!"
Instead of worrying about when you'll get that TB of storage space, try going out walking in your neighborhood and converse with your neighbors!
The returns will be MORE SATISFYING. | |

| My only question is why... We have gone from having 4mb mailboxes with Hotmail less than a year ago to having 1 TB mailboxes with companies like this. My only question is why? I understand that some people use their e-mail for business but I don't see why you would need more than 1 GIG (and that's pushing it). | |

Hey that's the same way I thought about GMail, but once I started making study guides and sending them to people I used about 50 MB from my original 10 MB Email Account.

I agree, this is nuts.
More and more, I'm beginning to wonder if they want you to store your whole life on their service, for whatever reason.
On as side note, they appear to have been slashdotted!

| | | i'm going to assume they are wanting people to use their classified add's so they can make money...
but on a negative note, it would almost appear they are promoting warez users. by saying thats 60k games, and so forth. i mean which games do they really think people are going to store on there, or the 200,000 mp3s that not one will be commiting copy right infrindgements.

| | | one word: storage
even though it's probably slow, clogged with users, more than likely not reliable, if you need a http storage dump for certain things it may prove useful.. granted, with those qualities you'll probably never think about using 1tb, but knowing its there isn't a bad idea. | |

kudos:1 | something else I might add.... Now that it is the broadband age, and upload speeds will soon be increasing. I think mainstream email services should higher the 10mb attachment limit, 10mb is only 10 or less high res. uncompressed images... and also it would make sending video's alot better

Ottawa, ON | How can they do this for free? That kind of storage is not cost effective and is impractical. How are they doing this? The largest HD's on the market are like 400 - 450 gigs. Are they running out and buying 3 400gig HDs for each user????
I wonder if this is spam/junkmail bait.
(Since you have to give an address and YOUR email address before they give you one of theirs.) | |

| | | | Re: How can they do this for free? they probablly only have a few Terabytes of storage and hope thats enough for all there users. | |

Just digitize your own home made video and don't compress. Use non-compressed DV footage. It'll quickly add up to 1TB.

| | missing you guys are missing one thing
they most likely do not have one terabyte of space per each person. At one point in time google was thinking about offering unlimited space. The average user uses about 20 mb of space. This is just to spread popularity. I'm sure its impossible to upload 500 mb on their server as its easy to see that their server sucks | |
