gmail quota = 1 terabyte
I haven’t heard about the reasoning or if it’s here to stay, but my GMail account quota just went up from 1000MB to 1000000MB, otherwise known as a terabyte.
Update: The quota has been changed back to a Gigabyte. It was fun while it lasted though.
They must have installed a few more hard drives, eh?
My theory is that they don’t have 1TB allocated for each user, but they have enough space that based on the average person’s mailbox, everyone can have virtually unlimited storage.
HEHEH! =] I just saw this, did you Photoshop that?
I’m showing the same thing on mine, too! Probably just a fluke. I don’t possibly see how Google could sustain an unlimited number of users with an unlimited amount of storage.
Me too: http://olivepress.blogspot.com/2004/05/gmail-capacity-1-million-mb.html
Though I’m sure it’s some kind of bug, it sure would be nice if it were real!
Henry: No photoshop, that’s an untouched screenshot.
It may be a fluke, like Aaron said, then again, people thought 1GB of e-mail was an April Fools joke.

Perhaps they’re responding to Yahoo’s announcement that their free email users will get 100MB? lol

Same here.
Is Gmail now offering approx. 1 Terabyte????
Rumors started flying today on Orkut (the Google social networking service) that some users had account limits of 1,000,000 MB not 1,000 MB. I initially thought that this was simply someone having some fun with photoshop but it now appears that numer…
Mine has it too: http://www.sit.wisc.edu/~saklettke/2004/05/gmail-offers-1-terabyte-1000-gb.html
Just wondering how long this will last before they fix it…

How Many Zeroes Are There?
Many users in Orkut claimed that their Gmail account quota has been boosted from 1,000 MB to 1,000,000 MB (or a tetrabyte, though someone pointed out that 1 tetrabyte should be equal to 1,048,576 MB). Some people are putting up…

I guess all of us are sailing in the same boat. :)
I’m in too!
was only temporary.. :(

Gmail Offering 1 Terabyte of Space
It looks like some special Gmail users received a surprise by having their Gmail account storage bumped up from 1,000MB to 1,000,000MB. Elliot Lee’s blog reported this yesterday, so did this blog. C|Net reported on this later on that day,…
Uh-oh. Looks like you’re getting hit by random people begging for invitations (as opposed to people you know, heh). But I never did see the one-terabyte figure on my Gmail account!
Mine never had more than 1000MB…:( It may have just been for lucky users. Can anyone confirm that they had it and now they don’t?
Matt
Dang. They took it away. My quota is back to 1000MB now.
I still own a TB of storage, how long will it last, though? probably wouldn’t have noticed unless I read about it in online news.
mine is still at a TB as well
Joe and Christian: I’m guessing it will go back to 1000MB pretty soon, at least all the ones on Orkut that were still at a TB did.

Google kokeilee mahdollisesti 1000 gigan sähköpostipalvelua – tai sitten kyseessä on lipsahdus….

I’ve seen that same article at zdnet.com which a Slashdot post linked to.
I’m all back to 1000 MB. Is there anyone that still happens to have 1 TB? Do Google employees get 1 TB? (I heard that somewhere…)
Scott
Scott: I’ve heard the same thing about Google employees having 1000GB, but I don’t know for sure if it’s true.

Hey guys, mine showed, is showing, and i thinnk will be showing 1000mb only…..people say a bug, what are google programmers doing that they have such mistakes??? can you imagine how many 1000mb they can still give out………1000mb seems soo small now :( after 1 terabyte……….one more question….i wonder just wonder, howmany hard drives do they use???
gmailer: Who said it was a bug to have 1000MB? All normal Gmail accounts have 1000MB. It was just a glitch for a day or two when it jumped to 1000000MB.
I have no idea how many hard drives they have.
this is very good apportunity to acuir g-mail benifets

Help!
Does anyone know what the limit of emails per day is? I seem to have set off Gmail’s spam detector. Call me foolish, but I have about 3000 names and I wanted to tell everyone about a few things-some classes I am starting to teach on April 8th AND the fact that I am in a movie which is being submitted to Cannes. (This is my first acting experience and I am the lead!What a surprise!)
Anyway, I set off the spam detector and am now in a jam. I sent two emails to the Gmail powers that be, but who knows what that means?.
I am sorry if this is off track, but any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Stephen Black
PSmy account is [email protected], but for the moment I’ll have to reply from another account….
I have erased almost all my stored mail!
Still, I only receive limited amount of mail.
Still, this notice “your email could not be sent because you have exceeded your storage quota…” appears every time I try to send a mail!
Still, “You are currently using 2858 MB (99%) of your 2858 MB.” stays written in red!
What should I do to keep using my gmail account.
Many thanks in advance for a reply to solve my problem.

Have you emptied your trash? You could also search for e-mails with attachments and delete those. If you’ve erased almost all your stored mail, then you might have a few e-mails with huge attachments.
You could also remove your sent mail.
When I send an email. They don’t seem to get anything but a blank. and it also shows I have 0 on my 1000MB. Thank you
