And most of the e-mail servers limit the size of messages you can send, so you can’t send anything much larger than 10mb anyway. It’s just the companies and their my dick is bigger than yours marketing policy. whitey - i know it’s cheap and the companies are just trying to get/keep users, but it’s a waste for 98% of the people out there who use e-mail. IMHO ---

well i think where e-mail companies are going is that they want to provide e-mail storage for a user to save messages for years. if you ask most people why they use outlook or another mail client its because they can save their e-mails. So E-mail providers are taking not of this and then offering larger mail boxes so you can save the e-mails you get over the years. ---

If someone needs a file/picture/song/movie or anything else that is real big I use ftp or a website to get the file to them. e-mail is not for file transfer. ---

> But 2gb I think is just a marketing ploy… 1gb is overkill even but alot more realistic. Indeed. Just look at hosting services. They offer 30GB transfer monthly, but I guarantee that if you have even CLOSE to 30GB transfer with most of these hosting companies that their servers will crash. ---
