Rediff.com offers one GB e-mail space

Last Updated: June 17, 2004 18:37 ISTRediff.com India Ltd has increased the e-mail space provided on its portal for free users to 1 GB (1000 MB) from 5 MB and that of its premium users to 2GB from 10 MB, even as the company hiked the single outgoing and incoming e-mail message size to 10 MB. The rediff.com offer becomes effective from 8 p.m. (IST) on Thursday.
“With this increase, we have become the first and the largest e-mail storage provider in the country, and users no longer have to worry about deleting mails to stay within the storage limit, Rediff.com Executive Vice-President and Chief Marketing Officer Rohit Varma said in Mumbai on Thursday.
The company has over 25 million registered subscribers and provides premium services (paid users) under Rediffmail Plus and Rediffmail Mobile services, he said.
Rediff.com also increased single e-mail message size to 10 MB from the earlier one MB provided for free users and five MB offered for premium users, Varma added.
Sending and receiving heavy files upto 10 MB benefit users who want to mail photos, music collections, business presentations and other large attachments, he said.
The portal would also start freeing of up to over 15 million e-mail addresses, which were not in use for the past couple of years, he said, adding that would give users a “better chance” of finding an e-mail ID of their choice.
Earlier this year, Rediff.com had launched Rediffmail with enhanced security and add-ons, to provide users a fast and secured accessibility.
Rediffmail also offers Spam Shield, options to send e-mails in 11 Indian languages and other features including a print-mail facility.

People are going crazy over Gmail!
Even yahoo went mad at gmail, and decided to give away 100 MB storage to all yahoo users! …. and the UI has been changed tooo. Yet to see what hotmail/MS would do in this regard. But.. I am sure they wont catch up with gmail… which i heard is simple, coool and fast (going by the reviews).
I havent yet got my hands over gmail, but, I am hoping to get an account soon!.. May be someone who has a gmail account reading this blog might send and invitation to me ! :)
Keeping my fingers crossed. :).. I also read on the net that some regular bloggers got invitations from google !! …, but i haven’t had any sucess so far. (the word ‘regular’ does not suite me yet !)
Anyway, for all the gmail users,.. happy gmailing, and for the rest, happy Googling!
