Just watch the bottom of your Gmailbox & refresh every few minutes & it keps going up.

Is that better than watching paint dry though?

Grouping email id in gmail.
Although Gmail doesn't currently support
Groups in your Contacts, you can simulate a Group list by doing the
following:

1. Create a new Contact

2. In the "Name" field, enter the name of your Group (eg "My Friends")

3. In the "E-mail" field, enter your list of email addresses in the
following format:

frie...@gmail.com>,<frie...@blah.com>,<frie...@foo .com

Note three things:

1. You must enter ">,<" (without the quotes) between all addresses 2. Be sure NOT to include a leading "<" or trainling ">". This is
intentional, because during auto-complete, Gmail adds these characters
to the beginning and end of the full string that is in the e-mail
field.

3. Also, there should be no spaces in the string.

Now if you want to add some more email ids to the already existing group which u have created, then go to contacts, click on the group contact which u have already created, and you will find an option "edit contact information", click on that and insert the new email id.
There are a few other handy tips there too.

this must be a fake...

google Gmail storage rises to 2GB ?

http://english.aljazeera.net/NR/exer...2E2847F919.htm

Maggy 01-04-2005 13:56

Re: All things Gmail.
 
1294 MB's thus far....and rising I suspect....because 10 minutes ago it was 1887 MB's.


Interesting.... :)

Signed out and then signed back in again...back to 1310 MB...oops 1311 I mean... :D

Why is it fake Kronas? It's not as though I post things like this for a laugh is it?? Google are looking to retake the advantage in the email service provider contest, upping it to 2Gb gives them another set of headlines and allows them to say they are giving their customers what they are asking for.

Damien 01-04-2005 14:46

Will it keep rising forever like it is now?

Not cleared temps..... but didn't because everyone was having trouble accessing their inboxes yesterday and we assumed it was an upgrade glitch :shrug:

Thanks for the timely reminder :)

G is for growth
Storage is an important part of email, but that doesn't mean you should have to worry about it. To celebrate our one-year birthday, we're giving everyone one more gigabyte. But why stop the party there? Our plan is to continue growing your storage beyond 2GBs by giving you more space as we are able. We know that email will only become more important in people's lives, and we want Gmail to keep up with our users and their needs. From Gmail, you can expect more.
They'll continue expanding as long as they can ;) 2013 here :p:

IMHO Cookie Monster from Ampsoft http://www.ampsoft.net/utilities/
is a really useful tool for cookie management allowing you set up a list of cookies to be preserved, enabling you to delete the rest. Just remember to exit all browsers before using it.

It Keeps Increasing!

Whats the attachment limit? How is anyone gonna use all this space up :D

Kick in the teeth for yahoo and hotmail, also gmail are planning at least one more BIG feature?

Quote:

With Gmail, you can send and receive messages up to 10 megabytes (MB) in size. However, the precise amount allowable will depend on the attachment.

When you add an attachment, the size of a file may increase because transport encodings are automatically added. (Transport encodings are the information that allows your message to be safely sent and read.)

This means that in some cases, attachments that are 6 to 10MB in size may push the total message size above 10MB. When this happens, Gmail displays a warning that your message exceeds the 10MB limit.

Damien 02-04-2005 12:03

Re: All things Gmail.
 
:( 10mb?

With such a large storage limit, that keeps increasing you would think they would up the attachment size! Also a storage and note area would be useful

It's only a problem because 10mb could be too big for other ISPs/ email providers otherwise I would expect them to increase the attachment size.

same here - as 2GB is 2048MB, I think that is where it will stay.

The 'rich text' message formatting has been enabled as well, although I mostly use plain text, it's handy to have as an option.

2051mb.
But do we have to post for each increment folks? :D

The point about other ISP's and attachment size is most valid, as is how a larger attachment slows the network down.

I'd prefer the ability to use some additional folders myself, not just labels.

Yes, i see that other limit issue.

I would still like to use gmail to store files. If they had a 'locker' area that will hold files/folder for you and another which you can input notes and finally a calender i would be v happy

You can use GMail to store files - I do that already. Check out www.viksoe.dk/code/gmail.htm for more info.

Damien, yeah, you can access it on another computer. You can either install the GMail virtual drive software on both PCs, or on just the one you use to upload the stuff, and then just use your browser to access GMail on the PC you use to download the stuff.

You can send them to yourself you know.

If you have a gmail account, send it back to it.
That's what I do for all the ones I have setup, just wait a few mins then refresh.

I'm getting a wierd deletion problem today.

I go to my spam folder, select all & hit felete forever (well till next week) and it says there is an error try later.
Ok, so I unselect them all, then select 1/2 the page & it work fine.
Try again with another 1/2 page (the other half from the "all") and it works fine.
Onto the next page, I select all then unselect the last one & it works fine.
But when deleting all it does not works (and this is in the trash too).

Anyone else having this problem?
