Google Ups Gmail Storage to 10 Gigabytes

If anyone hadn't noticed, and I certainly didn't at first, Google has upped its Gmail storage limit to 10 Gigabytes and counting.  The change is noted in the storage counter at the bottom of the Inbox.  It started at 5 GB back in the day and when to around 7.5 GB several years ago.  I can now officially procrastinate cleaning out my 2,200 plus unread emails.  A short announcement is on the Official Gmail Blog.  This is not tied to anyone having to sign up for the newly announce Google Drive cloud storage option, though the Gmail team said the bump was to celebrate Google Drive coming online.  [MG]
