Inexpensive ubiquitous mass storage is closer than you think!
I started using Google Mail (GMail) last year because I want to be able to read my mail from everywhere, all the time. Google offered me 1000 MB of free storage and one of the greatest user interface for a mail client. Oh! Did I mention it has nearly perfect spam filtering, without any effort on my part?
I wondered what would happen when I would reached 1000 MB of mail. For me, that’s about 2 years of incoming mail, maybe a bit less.
Well, my account has now 2057 MB of storage. That’s about 3 years worth of storage. It seems like Google increases your limit as need arises.

Gmail has really been improving lately.
The space has been increasing, about 1 extra GB on April 1st, and it’s been constantly increasing by a slow amount since then (about 2 or 3 MB a day now) - you actually should be upto 2058.
Additionaly they have recently rich text editing (which i hate personally, but some seem to like) and a basic html interface (that is still better than webmail interfaces) that works with browsers that have less than perfect javascript support.
