I’m starting to get really, really frustrated…
Every week, I need to empty my gmail spam, my gmail storage, delete all my b5 notification emails, delete all wordpress notification… just to be able to keep using my email.
What I want is more space. And the 1% bi-weekly increases just aren’t enough to keep up with how much I use email. What I want is to pay 50-250$/year for like 10GB (with the 1% bi-weekly increases).
What Google allows me to do is to move all of b5 to Google stuff and pay those rates. But I just want my own Gmail to be upgraded. Anyone know a way to do that?

Use Google Apps for ensight.org and forward all your [incoming] Gmail mail to the new ensight-Gmail address.
Or use specific filters for the forwarding .Filters also allow to delete mail: it should be possible to forward and delete both together.
This way you can keep everything in your archives, and you have a new, upgradable Gmail account, allowing you at the same time to keep your old one and still send from your actual email (use Gmail accounts to set the actual email as standard email), but also eventually to promote an own/new email account.
Or just use whatever domain you have available.

By using Google Apps Premier: http://www.google.com/a/help/intl/en/admins/editions.html
$50 / year for 10 GB.

wow.
I’m only using 4% of gmail space 118 MB for 1626 emails, including big attachments emails.
What do you get? 10,000 emails daily ?

franky: That just creates another primary address. And there’s no way to forward all ensight@gmail.com mail to the new mailbox.
Gary: Yeah, saw that, but that requires that you have your own domain (again, not allowing you to use your existing gmail account).
All I want is to upgrade my gmail account!
Techduke: I currently have 65,000 messages in Gmail. I get about 1500 new ones a day.

1.5K emails daily. Damn, you must have hired employees to read those.
