以下谈谈Gmail的成长速度,这是我们Google Fans最为关心的问题。
Google官方对于Gmail的其中一点描述是:你永远不用删除你的邮件。
至于是否能做到,我觉得很难说,因为听说已经有网友用光Gmail的容量的。
下文很简单,我懒得翻译了,主要说说Lawrence提出的三点:
*1、去年10月23日,Gmail 容量达到 4321 MB;
*2、今年1月4日,Gmail 容量达到 6283 MB;
*3、今年1月4日后,Gmail 调整了速度,以每天 3.3 MB 的容量增长。
原文如下(http://googlesystem.blogspot.com/2007/10/gmails-storage-increases-dramatically.html)[已和谐,需"翻墙"看]:
Gmail's Storage Increases, 6 GB in January 2008
Gmail will increase the free storage gradually in the next days. On
October 23, you'll get 4321 MB of storage, then the growth will slow
down until January 4, when you'll have 6283 MB of storage. From
January 4, you'll receive 3.3 MB every day, that's 10 times bigger
than the current rate of growth.
Another good news is that Google Apps mail accounts will have the same
quota as standard Gmail accounts, while Google Apps Premier Edition
will have 25 GB mail accounts. Previously, Google Apps accounts had 2
GB of storage, while the business edition offered 10 GB per account.
Gmail didn't abandon the paid storage option, but you'll get around
50% more storage for the same price: 10 GB for $20/year, 40 GB for
$75/year, 150 GB for $250/year and 400 GB for $500/year. The paid
storage will probably become more attractive when Google adds more
services, like Google Docs, JotSpot or GDrive.
"In April 2005, we started increasing Gmail storage as part of our
"Infinity+1" storage plan. At that time, we realized we'd never reach
infinity, but we promised to keep giving Gmail users more space as we
were able," explains the Gmail Blog. Meanwhile, Yahoo and Microsoft
also increased the storage (Yahoo even claims to offer "infinite"
storage) and Gmail became the top webmail service with the least
amount of free storage.
还有别文提到 Gmail 将在 2038 年达到 42GB
(http://mashable.com/2007/10/12/gmail-42gb-free-storage-by-2038/)。
那时候我应该还在世上,就拭目以待吧。
上面截图其中一张是我的Gmail使用情况,也都快接近一半了。
和那些声称无限容量的邮箱比起来,我还是更加喜欢Gmail的这种方式,毕竟会长大的邮箱,听上去已经很浪漫。
PS:成文时刻Gmail容量为:6561 MB
