You people are dumb. Read and understand well of the writer’s intention!

It’s actually pro-gmail, and doing it in an informative and critical way like how any normal person would think of a new product, or in this case, upgrade.

Need some help?
For one, ‘the lagging behind Gmail” is used in the context that, in terms of popularity -Read: the number of users of the said email provider, gmail is still trying to catch up on Ymail and Hmail.

Need I put them in BOLD?

Nothing wrong with that. I just tried to send a huge file to my friend to 2 of her email accounts and they both bounced back to me. She was sad. I told her to come to gmail. She signed up for an account just so she could receive the file. Now let’s see if she ever leaves gmail. :p The other email services just pale in comparison.

this is biased…….. Gmail IS NOT THE CONSTRAINT…… they let you send 25mb files, is not their fault if the other end cant receive it, there is nothing they can do about it, besides buying more servers for hotmail so they can storage more data and upgrade their own limits….

Most mail servers get “clogged” when sending files and this is why the file sizes for attachments are usually limited by mail server admins.

The catch with Gmail not being able to send 25 MB attachments is not because of of Google but because of the configuration other mail servers outside of Gmail have.

I don’t like limits of any kind on email arrachments. Company emails attachments get very large and a good PowerPoint with a lot of pics can be very large. Engineering drawings and CAD files are always a challenge.

Google’s 25 is a good start but I need 50 mb today or an FTP site,

This isn’t a catch at all. If Ymail can’t accept large files, that’s Ymail’s fault, not Gmail’s. Btw, the biggest problem with Ymail and Hotmail is: when you log in, you don’t see your email. Sure, you see how much NEW email you have, but you’re forced into a news page. Secondly, with Hotmail, you can’t just log in under your username. You have to log in with username@hotmail, it’s the stupidest thing I’ve ever seen lol. But then, it’s Microsoft, the people who refuse to progress from the obsolete MP3 compression format. I will add that Ymail, however, is amazingly simple to make new accounts with, so if you ever need a fake account (for whatever reasons), Ymail is the way to go. Super simple. (For example, why would I give out my real email address just to post this message?)

I would think that GMail is showing the competition the way to go. In this age of 12 megapixel photos, music in FLAC or 320Bps mp3, file limits of 5-10 MB are cyber relics. What you call “a catch” is actually pragmatic progress.
