BBC NEWS | Technology | Hotmail counters Google e-mail: "Hotmail is boosting the amount of storage space for users of both its free and paid e-mail service.
From July the basic Hotmail allowance will be boosted to 250MB and paying customers will get two gigabytes."

As a paying customer it will be nice to get 2 GB bit even 250MB is a lot more use than the old 3MB or so that it was set at! I am still waiting for my invitation to join the beta test of Gmail (hint: it's not coming) and will sign up when it goes live, even though some groups have expressed concerns about privacy. Gmail is targeted by adverts based on the text of the content, and although Google claims that this is done automatically and no human reads the mails, some groups claim that it may contravene privacy laws.
