Should RFD Pull a Google? Should they increase the 125 Mailbox Limit?

[jltapawan]

I think RFD should increase the Mailbox limit to 1GB like Google!

okay, seriously, I think we should increase mail box sizes from 125 messages to something like 250 or even 500.

Take the Poll and Let RFD Know.

250 would be nice. it's nice to keep PM logs while you are in a trade just in case. 125 is not enough.

But, u do relize how much space/bandwith (well not so much bandwith for messages) it takes..Last time Derek said they do 300 gigs a month bandwith..(that was a while ago) And I'm sure id slow down the server a bit..tho I'm sure if they implimented a pay service like MSN..theyd be more ten happy to up ur mailbox I'm jus happy its not pay..no money an no paypal heh..tho other ways..it is a hassle..

Or you could get off your ass and clean out your messages once in awhile.

Ive seen some forums that keep all replies with the same subject title within one thread that is transferred between each recipient. So you can go back and forth a million times and it counts as one thread. While its in the other persons inbox its not in yours so you always have space available.

wtf why in gods name do you need more then that? a trade should take maybe 5-10 each way anymore someone is paranoid. or doesn't know what email is.

Just to add to that... you can also download your messages to your hard drive in a number of different formats.

Wow! I had no idea! thanks for the tip, I think alot of people don't realize there's that feature... then again it could be just me.

~ I think this is a good feature in RFD that very often goes overlooked ~
~ I guess tips and reminders for people, would be handy ~

I totally forgot RFD had this feature...

I personally like to inquire a lot and therefore receive many messages from different users...usually never go over 120, and will always clean up my mailbox, if 125 comes close.

Only reason I brought this up was, I have sometimes run into members whose mailbox is full and therefore can't receive my PM.

This is frustrating knowing I might not be able to get in on a deal.

I would say be courteous.

Increasing amount mailbox = increase costs.

Didn't know about the downloading feature!

This is very true.
and I love RFD especially for being Free.

this would be "pulling a google" ... and would keep the PM count down .... and allow members to keep their history ....

125 is allright, I think 150 would make a bit more sense in terms of being a more "even" number. On the other hand, if you really need to keep a log you can just d/l them your computer.

[rookie]

125 is more then enough. Heck that number could even be lower IMO. I think it's time you tidy up!
