O.P. Shocked  G(oogle )Mail - Did I hear right? 1GB mail storage?

Google Mail project
About Gmail

As part of Google's mission to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful, we're testing an email service called Gmail.

Gmail is a free, search-based webmail service that includes 1,000 megabytes (1 gigabyte) of storage. The backbone of Gmail is a powerful Google search engine that quickly recalls any message an account owner has ever sent or received. That means there's no need to file messages in order to find them again.

When Gmail displays an email, it automatically shows all the replies to that email as well, so users can view a message in the context of a conversation. There are no pop-ups or banner ads in Gmail, which places relevant text ads and links to related web pages adjacent to email messages.

[...]

How much does Gmail cost?

Gmail is a free service and includes 1,000 megabytes of storage with each account. However, Gmail is still in preview mode as we test it to work out the kinks. So for now, it's not generally available.

[...]

What about spam?

Google is committed to keeping unwanted messages out of your inbox. Gmail includes a sophisticated spam filter that we're continuing to improve. The Report Spam link in Gmail is a way for users to help with this effort. It removes spam from the inbox and sends valuable data to the Gmail team working on spam blocking.

:shocked:
:bow::google::bow:

Btw, some days ago were two new Google Labs' projects released: Personalized Web Searches and Web Alerts

Beta testers were already chosen and you'll just get informed of what's new about it.

Not likely... CNN theoretically spoke to a high manager at Google and they confirmed the news, and said it wasn't an April Fools joke, however they might be joking too (story at cnn.com).

And web alerts was not launched yesterday, it was launched at least a month ago :rolleyes:
