The most unique feature of Gmail has been its space in Gigabytes (still counting) which it provides to its registered users. When Gmail was launched it started to provide 1 GB space to its users. That was 500 times greater than free storage offered by Microsoft and 250 times the free storage offered by yahoo. Since then 1 GB has become the minimum mark which free email service providers start to provide to its customers.

Rediff.com, a portal that provides news, information, communication, entertainment and shopping services, recently hit the limit by announcing unlimited storage to its customers. With the phenomenal usage of Internet and the advent of broadband email has become a de-facto for Internet users. Deleting email is often a headache surfers. Gmail brought this problem to an end with high amount of email storage for users.

Rediffmail which has been around for 11 years now, provides a safe environment through its mailbox services. Besides, one can also search through their mailbox to find a particular mail. And of course, you will never be required to change your Rediffmail address ever.

Moreover, Rediffmail is packed with innovative user-friendly features of desktop e-mail such as writing mail in 11 Indian languages, instant preview of mails and attachments, drag and drop facility for mail to any folder, and auto-completion of e-mail addresses by simply typing a few characters. It’s no wonder then that Rediffmail.com has around 50 million registered users!

With rediff's announcement, it would be interesting to see how other email service providers react. Until then you go and register for the unlimited storage personally for you on the Internet and enjoy.
