Not exactly. The point is that the ratio of gmail's storage increase is so low that more and more people will inevitably bump against the limit in a couple of y

  I don't feel that that's necessarily the case. I think that most people delete things like Facebook/Twitter nofitications. And his complaining about the size of the spam he gets is a mute point. The only reason that he cared about that was due to his proximity to his quota. Gmail automatically deletes spam mails older than 30 days. It's not like people will fill up their Gmail account with massive amounts of spam just sitting in their spam folder.

  Not really. Look at the stuff he's deleting -- hundreds of Facebook notifications = 10s of MB. He goes through and deletes thousands of emails and doesn't really recover more than 100 MB. My first feeling when I read this was that he's obviously deleting the wrong stuff. What he should really be looking for are those picture album emails at 10 MB each. That's what taking up his space and that's what most people aren't doing. Google is practicing the old idea of 80/20 and doing it very well.
