What % of your Gmail storage are you using?

If you use Gmail, look down at the bottom of your Gmail window and see what it says for "You are currently using X MB (Y %) of your Z MB" and post it here. I'm curious how much of the free storage from Gmail the average Honker uses...

Mine: You are currently using 3802 MB (50 %) of your 7587 MB.

My oldest email in my Gmail account is from May of 2006.

    16% - but my email address is part of a larger hosted account that has 5 other addresses on it. not sure if the 16% is for that specific address or for the whole account.

    You are currently using 4414 MB (58 %) of your 7580 MB.

    (I also have another gmail I use for signing up for junk, plus my work email, plus a secret one I use for projects where I can't risk being identified.)

    Oldest email is number 135130 from April of 2008, which seems weirdly recent. I think I have older archives somewhere?

    i get rid of everything
  • YoursTrulyYoursTruly
    I'm using 85%!! Crap!

    I don't even know how to get rid of it. Do you just delete your whole trash?

    I do like being able to search for insanely old emails though

    What to do what to do

    Oldest email is from Aug. 31, 2004

    It is to Gary

    It says "I totally have gmail. This is your girlfriend."

    Since Gmail can't sort by size, the best way I've found to look for large files to delete is create a custom search using has:attachment or filename, combined with a date filter, something like:

    has:attachment before:2009/01/01

    or

    filename:(mov OR avi OR ppt OR ai OR mp3) before:2009/01/01
