You are almost out of space for your Gmail account.

They want to sell me more space now after all these years? Is it possible to back up my gmail elsewhere?

what the crap is this?

Undertoad 03-14-2010 08:02 PM

You have 7.5 GB of email?

lumberjim 03-14-2010 08:06 PM

lumberjim 03-14-2010 08:08 PM

Might be safe to delete all those wmv files from Bruce. He's got plenty more.

lumberjim 03-14-2010 10:09 PM

when i hit the limit, will they just start dropping off the end, or will it get all clogged up?

Undertoad 03-14-2010 11:07 PM

Maybe they will increase the limit

It was 1GB when you signed up

You can download stuff to save on your computer.

You could also set up a second gmail account and archive the older stuff there.

Experience suggests they'll increase the limit again, but it may or may not come in time to "save" you.

snarky/put it on Jinx' HD.../end snarky

How to backup gmail.

But it would probably be easier to delete stuff you don't need anymore.

lumberjim 03-15-2010 04:02 PM

I just like it to be searchable....wherever I am. I guess if i created another and filtered and forwarded all my mail from 200x back, it would be easy enough.

Cloud 03-15-2010 04:05 PM

unclutter your box and your life, Jim! Delete! Delete! Delete!

or . . . archive. I recently moved all my boss's gmails into the archive folder.

zippyt 03-15-2010 05:07 PM

Jim , What I do is have an Out Look grab ALL My gmail every Now and then , Then Take a Match to the Gmail box ( aka Delete EVERY thing !!!!)
then All your Emails are search able and Sortable , even when your Off Line ,
And YES that Has come in handy , as I have Blown Off Important Emails that I Needed to find .
It'll Proll take a few days to grab All yer stuff , and You Dont have to use Out Look

Undertoad 03-15-2010 05:07 PM

Search gmail with: "from:xoxoxobruce filename:wmv"

zippyt 03-15-2010 05:39 PM

Well I dont Know what to Tell ya , Exept Maybe a fat Thumb drive ????

Cloud 03-15-2010 06:02 PM

why do you need to search all those old years' email, anyway? Is there info in them that could be converted to a better source?

lumberjim 03-15-2010 06:03 PM

I'M AN EMAIL HOARDER, OK?

Cloud 03-15-2010 06:05 PM

no one to blame but yourself, then.

Can you put them on a disc?

Where will you stack them?

lumberjim 05-30-2010 10:32 PM

so, today, I officially ran out of email space, and I can no longer send or receive emails with my google account. surprisingly shitty of them. I assumed that it would start auto deleting old emails.....

so i went and deleted all of my boobmail, and all of the porn i could find easily.... and got it back down to 92%, but it still thinks I'm full and I can't send or receive.

shitty. I could pay $5/year for an extra 20 GB.

Cloud 05-30-2010 10:43 PM

if it's that important to you to keep all that old crap, then spend the bucks

classicman 05-31-2010 01:35 PM

Wow - you save A LOT! I have a ton of research on mine and I'm only at 6%
What the hell do you have on there?

TheMercenary 06-01-2010 01:56 PM

Just pay the $10 a year for extra storage space and claim it as a tax deduction.
