My 2c: Storage and speed are nowhere near as important as spam blocking... Which Gmail is superior at, and the primary reason for it's choice
- johnwalkr 4y agoAt the time of its release, around 2002, space was the killer feature. People were either using outlook express with their ISP email and losing all emails frequently when upgrading or changing ISPs, or hotmail which only had 4MB of storage in the free plan. It was normal to scroll through your emails, make sure you didn’t miss anything, and then delete all emails. I think outgoing emails were automatically deleted after 30 days too.
