It has been around six years ago, when Google launched its own mail site Gmail. At that time it had claimed to have unlimited storage. It proudly declared "never delete an e-mail again." Well, now it seems like they are not successful in fulfilling their commitment. They may have to eat their words now as Mark Flick, the latest user to break the Gmail limit had to delete some mails to make space.
When Gmail was first launched, it offered a massive storage space (then 1GB), which was a highly touted feature. Even though, over time this space has expanded to about 7.3 GB per user, but still it doesn`t seem enough. One of the reasons for this may be the fact that users send larger e-mail attachments now and archive more messages. Still, for non-corporate e-mail users, racking up more than 7 GB in e-mail archives is a pretty impressive feat, reported the website.
Incidentally, when such a problem had arisen earlier, Google also had even considered buying more storage.
And the problem goes on. Now the users are again expecting Gmail to expand its storage capacity.
