Since you have more than 1,000 megabytes of storage, we recommend that you archive rather than delete. Once you delete a message, it's gone for good. By archiving messages and conversations, you can take advantage of Gmail's powerful search functionality to retrieve any message you've sent or received.
Your messages are grouped together as conversations. If you delete from your inbox, you will be deleting an entire conversation, not just one message. To delete a conversation from the inbox, select the box and choose 'Move to Trash' from the drop-down menu.

To delete a single message, open the conversation. Expand the specific message that you would like to delete. Click 'More options.' Once the options are visible, click 'Trash this message'.

Your deleted conversations are moved to the trash. Once conversations are in the trash, you can delete them by going to the 'More actions' drop-down menu and choosing 'Delete forever.'

Should you mistakenly put a message or conversation in the trash, just click on 'Trash' from your inbox, select the message or conversation and then click Move to Inbox.

The Gmail system will automatically empty your trash and spam every 30 days.

I think 1 Gb is 1024 MegaBytes, hopes this answer, your question

Yeah but at the bottem of my inbox it says:
You are currently using 0 MB (0%) of your 1000 MB.

Report it and you'll get invitations

The whole point of gmail is so that you have heaps of storage - 1000mb

isn't it just an expression of "a lot"?

gmail counts 1 gb as 1000 mb not 1024 mb

i have 33 emails

and have around 4 tabs on each email

but what i reali want to know is wtf this is




it appears when i view a email

1 Gb = 1,000 Mb = 1,000,000 kb = 1,000,000,000 b = 8,000,000,000 bit
Since Giga- stands for 10^9, Mega- for 10^6 and kilo- for 10^3


1 Gib = 1,024 Mib = 1,048,576 kib = 1,073,741,824 b = 8,589,934,592 bit
Since Gibi- stands for 2^30, Mebi- for 2^20 and kibi- for 2^10


So we should tecnically be calling them Gibibyte, Mebibyte and kibibyte. And remember: the unit B stands for Bel, like deciBels (dB)

So Gmail are technically using 1Gb (1,000 Mb), but they probably (rather technically) mean 1,000 Mib and thus it's "more than 1,000 Mb".

ok? good

You guys are making this way too complicated..... i have a headache because of you keystorm
