Alternatively, https://www.google.com/accounts/PurchaseStorage?hl=en

5$/year will get you 20Gb extra. That's a pretty good deal.

Yet, oddly, you can't do this with Gmail for Domains. Your only option there is to upgrade everyone in the domain to premium at $50/person/year

I haven't, but I've used more than I care to.

However... I am NOT giving someone else access to my account. That's crazy.

I found the link to check my OAuth token and was surprised who already had access to my account:

https://www.google.com/accounts/IssuedAuthSubTokens

I can't put a finger on why, but it bothers me how many businesses, websites and services are built to address a very specific deficiency in a single product. It's like the company whose product specifically exists to output Balsamiq mockups to HTML. It just seems... dumb.

2004: Who the hell is ever going to need 1 GB of email?

2010: 7 GB of email is not enough anymore!!

Well, even long ago, a lot thought 640KB ought to be enough for everybody. ;)

[although mis-attributed - but nevertheless makes a good joke].

So they send you an email with a report, yet your mailbox is full and you can't receive emails?

When you exceed your quota you can still receive, just not send (at least for some period of time).

Alternatively, connect a mail client to your Gmail by IMAP, go to the "All Mail" folder, and sort by size.

I just did this with Thunderbird, and it took ~30 min to download the headers of 33k+ messages.
