  17 Jan 2008 by TipsoSaurus

lotsaspace Well, this tip was shared by Sagaro, where you can easily check that what’ll be the size of your inbox of GMail account in future. For e.g. if you want to know that how much space you’ll be getting in GMail on Sept. 4th, 2008 then simply follow these steps :

1. Open GMail (Don’t login)
2. Open windows calendar by double clicking on the time/date in system tray.
3. Change the date to 4th Sept. 2008 and click OK.

Now you’ll see the size of the GMail box on the screen. Now this is not sure shot, because if at all Google decides to reduce the speed or increase the speed of the space they are giving us, then the numbers will be completely different.

However, if Google keeps the same pace then on Sept. 4, 2008 your Gmail’s inbox size will be around 7099 Mb. Compare it with Yahoo mails’ unlimited inbox size.
