not 1 GB ...10 GB email space.

1 GB from GMAIL and 2GB from Yahoo and i have a 3 free accounts in rediff, which accounts for 3 GB (1GB each) and if i upgrade to pro, then i will get 10 GB... just waiting for the reactions of MSN & Hotmail, if they also provide another 1-2 GB space, then i have a mini HDD online already setup online. Just consider the total, which gets down to roughly around, 6 - 8GB space, and i have the chance of creating more free accounts.

Rediff gets into the Email space bandwagon....

"Rediff.com India Ltd has increased the e-mail space provided on its portal for free users to one GB from five MB and that of its premium users to two GB from 10 MB, even as the company hiked the single outgoing and incoming e-mail message size to 10 MB. The rediff.com offer becomes effective from 8 p.m. (IST) on Thursday.

"With this increase, we have become the first and the largest e-mail storage provider in the country, and users no longer have to worry about deleting mails to stay within the storage limit, Rediff.com Executive Vice-President and Chief Marketing Officer Rohit Varma said in Mumbai on Thursday. "
