Considering Google automatically adds anyone I have an email conversation with to my contacts, I would say one day we will all get to this point, some just sooner then others. And I can think of nothing more painful then trying to prune through 10,000 contacts to figure out which ones I'd want to keep.
- mgrouchy 16y agoMaybe? I have been basically living in gmail since the start of the beta and I have < 500 contacts and I have never deleted a contact and use my email very heavily. I'm sure in 5+ years I may get to this point, but in a year or 2 or 5, who says what this arbitrary upper limit is. Google seems to increase capacity on just about everything else, I dont see why this would be different.
- avar 16y agoI just checked and I have 2500 contacts just my virtue of using GMail for mailing list. I probably care about less than 100 of those. There's things like contacts for every Debian and CPAN bug I've ever filed, contacts for people who change their E-Mail address every day due to using some wildcard catch + script to generate them etc.

My "My Contacts" list is more than 500 people after using Gmail since September 2006, and my "Other Contacts" is more than 1100 people. So if I had work that involved even more email interchange than the work I have, I could easily get to that 10,000 limit. And if a person makes a lot of use of email, that is precisely the person who will comparison-shop for different email solutions.
