They want to sell me more space now after all these years? Is it possible to back up my gmail elsewhere?

what the crap is this?

Might be safe to delete all those wmv files from Bruce. He's got plenty more.

lumberjim 03-14-2010 09:09 PM

when i hit the limit, will they just start dropping off the end, or will it get all clogged up?

Undertoad 03-14-2010 10:07 PM

Maybe they will increase the limit

It was 1GB when you signed up

You can download stuff to save on your computer.

You could also set up a second gmail account and archive the older stuff there.

Experience suggests they'll increase the limit again, but it may or may not come in time to "save" you.

How to backup gmail.

But it would probably be easier to delete stuff you don't need anymore.

lumberjim 03-15-2010 03:02 PM

I just like it to be searchable....wherever I am. I guess if i created another and filtered and forwarded all my mail from 200x back, it would be easy enough.

unclutter your box and your life, Jim! Delete! Delete! Delete!

or . . . archive. I recently moved all my boss's gmails into the archive folder.
