According to at least a couple of observers, the 2 (or 2.5gig) limit is being pumped up to over 15gigs. Personally, I’m at around 15% of my usual 2.8gig limit; some might wonder what the deuce people are going to do with 15gigs of email space.

Well, it fits perfectly within GMail’s raison d’etre — which is “never delete email”, and dovetails perfectly with the rise and sharing of rich media … particularly since the acquisition of YouTube probably sends the “we’re a media company now” message has been sent out anyway.

Some users of Google Apps for Your Domain report that their Gmail accounts have 15 GB of storage space. There are at least two people who noticed it, so it’s hard to consider this a mistake.

In any case, Google probably has bandwidth and storage to spare. If / when it goes through its probably nothing but a good thing.
