GOOGLE BOOSTS FREE E-MAIL STORAGE TO 2GB

Google Inc., which took the first shot in the free e-mail storage battle with the release of its Gmail product last year, said it's doubling free storage to
2 gigabytes shortly after Yahoo Inc. Matched its original offer.

The 1 GB amount Yahoo is about to offer me is more than enough. In fact, the 250 MB, I am currently allotted is plenty. It has been my experience, trying to keep more than this makes it next to impossible for me to find anything I have saved of any importance any way.

However, I am glad that all this competition forced them to offer more than the original 4 MB they offered when I first opened my account. 4 MB was definately not enough.

I have 3 accounts; one yahoo, one aim, and one msn. Although my main one is yahoo though, I use yahoo more . Also I agree with funbikerchick in the stated quote above. The 4 MB was not nearly enough but now I almost never need to delete stuff anymore even though I do regardless. I used to have a hotmail but that was years ago.

I have 2 accounts - one at Yahoo for 250MB and one at Netscape for 10MB. Both are free. I use the Yahoo one almost exclusively and it suits my needs just fine. The one at Netscape is - uh- different. It seems cluttered and everything comes across as an attachment. Is it me or what? I don't see too email accounts out there using Netscape. Hmm, wonder why?

A Google box for 2GB? Wow! Free? Wow! Why would I ever need that?

The email account at work is just that - for business use. Every email account is shadowed, too. Personal use is frowned upon. And internet is available only for sites that are job-related. A request must be made to a supervisor to have the desired site made available to you. Tough, eh?

I often use a fake google account for the sole reason of safety, you never know when someone might try to hack it for their own benefit. I don't seem to see many Yahoo accounts as much as it used to be anymore either.

You've got mail: Personality differences in email use

A new study shows that while many of us cannot do our job without email, it can stress us out -- and that personality differences affect how we use email and what we find stressful. The results showed that those of us with a big picture focus are more likely to check our emails on holiday, at the weekend and before and after work than our more matter of fact counterparts. Unfortunately, sending emails outside of work hours leads to stress, as does the amount of emails we send and receive. Managers, regardless of personality type, are more likely to feel that they waste time on email and to find it overwhelming and stressful. Ref. Source 1s.

I know this is a really old topic that has been recently revived, but it still seems relevant. It is amazing how online culture has changed in just 10 years. I have several email addresses, each for specific purposes. I have a work email (That changes with each job, so like every 2 years), a personal email (Which I have had for over 10 years now), and a bunch of 'throw-away' accounts that I use specifically for buying things online or for signing up to content that I am not sure if I will like. I am a very security conscious person and so I have completely different passwords for each and that is even no relation among the address (Or usernames) for the different accounts. I always make sure my passwords are over 12 characters long and contain capital letters, lower case letters, numbers, and symbols; usually in what appears to be a random order (So no dictionary or simple substitution words). I don't keep multiple account so much because I am afraid of being hacked as it is that I don't want to be tracked by google, ebay, amazon, facebook, and other large websites. I get a feeling that I am in the extreme minority now-a-days, as most of my friends have maybe one or two email accounts and use the same password (Or a simple variation) for everything. Also they constantly use their facebook, google, amazon, and ebay without signing out or otherwise clearing cookies. I guess I have gotten a bit off topic, but with email address I like to have different ones for different kinds of services I use.

Did you know that you can add + to your gmail.com email address and it will still come to your main account, but is now easier to filter? For Example, you can do basicemail@gmail.com for your base email address, but then when you sign up at a store you can do basicemail+store@gmail.com and it will still come to basicemail@gmail.com, but now it has an easy way for you to sort it into a different folder (Such as spam).
