ya but the funny thing is.. just like their method of handing out random invitations.. similarly you will be given the ability to use the POP3 feature... i.e u would have to wait till you see a [New Feature] red highlighted link... and only then will you be able to use it.

Google's secret is that most people won't use nearly that much space, there are limits on attachments size, and the majority is plain text, which can be significantly compressed.

yes that and keep this in mind... Google has provided POP3 no IMAP4... POP3 forces you to store the messages on disk... some people will be reluctant to store an entire 1gb on disk... this kind also reduce the amount of bandwidth usage for google.

I wonder if that doesn't count as identity theft? Impersonation? Confused
