The fact that they even offer 200mb and 800mb plans makes it hard for me to take them seriously. Shame.

- nly 13y agoSome people won't pay $50/year/user for email, I know my parents won't. I had a hell of a time even getting them to move away from ISP provided mail to GApps. Neither of them have managed to use more than 300MB in 3-4 years. In any case, an account with 8 GB of email storage and 6 GB of file storage (Family account), or 10+2GB (personal account) is still cheaper than Googles 'one plan' service. Google just aren't interested in marketing GApps to enthusiasts and families.
- harrytuttle 13y agoHuh? I've had my email address since 1995. I have 5Mb / 6 emails in my Maildir and that's only because I've got lazy recently. I've recieved probably 500,000 emails over the years. Hoarding email is like recording all your phone conversations and keeping the tapes in your living space. If it's worth keeping, save it elsewhere. If it's not, delete it.
- baudehlo 13y agoI completely disagree. I've kept every email I've ever received or sent since 1996 (close to a million emails, all searchable/indexed) and it has proved extremely useful over the years to be able to find ancient emails very quickly. I'm sure some large proportion of those emails I will never use, or will never be useful, but space is cheap, and keeping them doesn't hurt at all.
- toomuchtodo 13y agoCompletely agree. I've been using Gmail since 2005, and it is fantastic being able to simply search and get emails from that long ago when needed.
