Unlimited google email storage
Talk about email storage to IT managers and they tend to start going this funny colour. Users can’t seem to manage their Inbox apparently, although not the exact words they use.
This has come up time and again, where, on behalf of the user experience, it is up to me to persuade I.T that voice messages have to reside in the email store.
During the conversation you can see this assume huge proportions in the minds eye, and I always used to show my own mailbox to calm them down……a bit.
So its an area of interest.
I just saw that in my personal email, on Google, that I’ve used 93MB of 6 Gig. In a year and a half.
So I check my Exchange work mailbox, I now have ALL historical emails saved locally – although I’m good at deleting very large emails first – I have 2.5 Gig, in 3 years. Including unified messaging.
By my calculations then Google are effectively giving me unlimited storage. They seem to put it up every month, I could easily have 7 years of email before deleting anything at all. Which is surely what most people would ever need. Or am I behind the multimedia times.
You gotta love that.
