Gmail not giving it all?

**DumberDrummer** · 04-06-2005, 06:49 PM

Norin and I were fiddling around with a gmail account, trying to fill it up. I think we go to about 500 mb, and then this happened

Anyway, if you want to help, send a large file to tsftest@gmail.com (Yes, I want to get spam)

Every bit helps, so lets find out if 2000 mb is a fluke. Once its full, I'll give everyone the pass so that you can see it for your self.

EDIT: Update. I'm now getting a 404...interesting.

i've got one going also, i'm at about 351 megs.

we'll see what happens in a sec.

at 10 megs each it sure takes a while.

(p.s. i don't know if you discovered this, but it's faster to rename and forward mail than to actually upload it.)

What we did was Norin sent a 10 mb bmp file to the account, then we forwarded it to itself. So far we've done it about 186 times. We are at 1866

Thanks for the help Chevy and superflysmith!

Alright! Got it to 2060. Looks like they weren't lying after all, eh?

I get this when you can't send anymore

If anyone wants to login and see for yourself, you can go to www.gmail.com and login with username tsftest and password tsfiscool.

Be warned that it may only work for one person at a time, so you might want to post here if you are going to login, since it will automatically log you out if someone else signs in.

You've got room for 6 more MB. Lets fill it up.
