That could shut them down pretty fast...spam would take a major toll on it. I think the yahoo addy I have gets around 40mb of spam every 4 or 5 days. I never even use it anymore because of that, really never have.

Google is taking a major pr hit that it will have computers read each e-mail (there goes privacy) and add adds to it. Say you're e-mailing someone about a romantic interlude and you'll have ads for viagra. No thanks, I prefer to keep what little privacy already exists out there.

It's theoretically possible.

Computers can compress text to really small sizes, and if Google does this on the fly, they really wouldn't need much space. Plus, only a select few would actually fill up their inboxes.
