A 10 dollar idea: a Gmail file cleaner

More and more personns around me are concerned by the fact that their gmail account where most of their digital life is stored, does not have enough space for them

  • Problem 1: you archive a lot of emails many times with attachements and you cannot sort email by size to delete them later one
  • Problem 2: once you get to your 99% limit account at 2.XGb then your pulse starts to beat higher, cause you don’t know what to do and you specially don t want to create a new account and loose history/contact book / label settings…
  • Problem 3: once you hooked to Gmail there is no way on earth you want another webmail

Solution: a third party service that would scan all your gmail emails, list them by size and would let you delete or archive them in an other place. All you have to do is give your credentials, and the service does the rest.

Why is it a 10 dollar idea? because this is the price i believe people would be ready to pay for.

Other option: Gmail offer 100GB space for 10 doll a year and you re done. But google is not in the ecommerce business right? so this is not for tomorrow

Free temporary solution: in case of total desperation create a new gmail account, set your old address on your new using pop3 settings/import your contact book from old address and your done

Pierre had the same problem as yours (his post : http://www.kelblog.com/2006/12/gmail_up_to_the.html)
I created a google hosted for his private domain name. With google hosted (http://www.google.com/a/), you can define aliases for each account. Once an account is full, you can change the alias so that, new messages will be redirected to a new empty account.
You keep the old account as a backup.
If you need more help for that, tell me.
