Same here, we run a mailbox_size_limit of 700MB and have several users regularly hitting the limit. Can't really slap them as they would reply " on google I have 7 GB mail space".
I wonder how often Google does full disaster recovery off site backup/mirroring of all those millions of _free_ 7GB mailboxen. AFAIK, Google makes no guarantees WRT mailbox contents. They may have full multi site redundancy, but I've yet to read a whitepaper describing it.
GMail (probably) uses Bigtable, which does have a whitepaper: http://static.googleusercontent.com/external_content/untrusted_dlcp/labs.goo...
Thanks Timo. I'm surprised I hadn't run across this yet. I've been curious about it for a while now.
