At my current pace -- 1.5GB in 8 years on gmail -- I will fill up 10GB in about 48 more years, when I'm in my 70s. I'm probably an above average case, so I don't know how many people will hit 25GB in their lifetime unless something drastic happens. I may have received more than 10GB of email in my lifetime, but I certainly don't store it all (though I'm not skimpy either), so I think 25GB might be high.
