Are you using your e-mail account as an archive? If you are, you might want to keep your eye on how much of the available storage you have used and occasionally get rid of things you definitely don’t want anymore.
Some people like to save everything and others just don’t want to deal with throwing out what they don’t want. But eventually both of those practices can cause the same problems that being a packrat in the brick and mortar world cause space and clutter issues. E-mail with large attachments can use up a lot of space and even though many of the e-mail accounts available are increasing storage capacity for users, it’s a good idea to keep a handle on what you’re saving and delete what you don’t want. Use the search function to pull up lists of e-mail you’re sure you don’t want and start cleaning.
Or, get gmail from Google. We use it and love it.
What is Gmail?
Gmail is Google’s free webmail service. It comes with built-in Google search technology and over 2,600 megabytes of storage (and growing every day). You can keep all your important messages, files and pictures forever, use search to quickly and easily find anything you’re looking for, and make sense of it all with a new way of viewing messages as part of conversations.
There are no pop-ups or untargeted banner ads in Gmail, only small text ads. Ads and related information are relevant to your messages, so instead of being obtrusive, they may even be useful for once.
Gmail also integrates instant messaging right into the email experience, so you can stay in even better touch with your friends when you’re online. Easy, efficient and maybe even fun to use. It’s a whole new way to think about email. It’s Google’s approach to email.
Oh, and gmail is free!
