GMAIL says: "You are currently using 2500 MB (92%) of your 2713 MB." Is that a lot? Should I feel special? Is that run-of-the-mill, like people who brag about having 1GB of mp3s? The question remains: what percent of your 2713MB are you using?

2%.

145 mB.

But I'm a ruthless deleter and clutter-hater. I save very few emails.

34 MB (1%)

You have too much porn. Please delete more porn.

2%. And that's my SPAM account.

I delete nothing. I'm using 17%.

Holy crap! 92%!? What the hell are you getting in your email? Horsecock?

15% here. It's been hovering there ever since they started that ever-growing available space counter.

Like .00001%. I delete like a maniac, and no one sends me anything anyway.

Far less than 1%.

Well, I'm an architect (so: big files, lots of 3d stuff, planning, big ass Mapinfo files, etc.) and a professor, so lots of stuff from students (big ass images, videos, etc.), hence the 92%. Plus, deleting large volumes of email is a pain, no?

4%. I too am an architect.

An architect of chaos!

signal - work email or personal email ... or both (if so, which one probably takes up more space)?

posted by porpoise 13 April | 15:06

Both, though it skews heavily towards work, especially the mails with bigass attachments.

posted by signal 13 April | 15:16

150 MB (6%)

I save very little. And you have to be extremely special to remain in my inbox for more than a couple of days.

Gmail tells me:

"Your emails are being tracked by a big company, which is simultaneously collecting all sorts of information about you, your habits, your acquaintances, and their habits as well. There is a 1% chance that the company will not use this information for monetary gain (likely at your or your acquaintances' expense) at some time in the future. If the sompany is taken over by a larger, greedier company, that 1% chance will drop to nil."

I am currently using 1403 MB (52%) of my 2713 MB.

And I don't actually use the addy, I only forward mails with attachments to it when I'm too lazy to download them in pine. You don't even want to know how much of my serverspace is watsed on email alone. (or perhaps I don't want to know...)

posted by dabitch 13 April | 15:27

0%. All of my gmail is forwarded to my OE mailbox. What I want to save goes into an OE folder.

posted by deborah 13 April | 15:42

under 1%. Am I the only one who hates the gmail interface?

posted by rumple 13 April | 17:23

Gmail 2%. Not my primary account. They gave you 2713 meg??!! Wow, they really, really like you.

My work account hovers at 90% (of a measly 75 meg) because I must save all my precious emails, yes I must.

posted by theora55 13 April | 17:53

25%. But I got an ungodly amount of submissions for the movie I just finished, so the vast bulk of that is actor's resumes with big headshot attachments.

The interface bugged the shit out of me at first, now I really like it. And they fixed some of the dumber aspects lately.

Google says "Eddig 4 MB-ot (0%) használt fel a 2714 MB-ból."

I scold people who send me large attachments. Email is for text.
