It should be pointed out that there are a lot of messages. Just since
last September 8, there have been over 2400 messages, using 86mb in my
gmail account. If the message sizes are comparable now to how they
were then, you'll be getting about 4.5GB of email. That's something
you might want to consider :)

cheers,
