Word "free"

I see that in the first paragraph, Gmail is described as a free e-mail service. This is only partially correct. Users with less than 15gb of e-mails can use it free, but people who need more than 15gb worth of e-mails have to pay. Should the word "free" be removed or updated to more accurately describe the service? 67.185.163.88 (talk) 00:10, 5 October 2022 (UTC)

No, it is a free service and the storage limitations are spelled out in the lede and subsequent sections. - Ahunt (talk) 00:33, 5 October 2022 (UTC)

Bigger image

The screenshot of Gmail website is too small to make out the details well. I suggest we upscale the image a slight bit so the text can be read. This will still keep the Non-free rationale as the image loses its purpose at this scale. RoostTC(please ping me when replying) 11:05, 25 November 2022 (UTC)

The main issue is that there is a bot that seems to like reducing any oversized "fair use" images, so you may just end up back where you started. - Ahunt (talk) 14:41, 25 November 2022 (UTC)

RfC on 9to5Google as a source

There is an RfC at WP:RSN on reliability of 9to5Google as a source. Only 3 opinions have been given in about 19 days. More would be appreciated. -- Yae4 (talk) 15:27, 27 December 2022 (UTC)

Spelling error

Talking about the history, between 2004 and 2005, it spells Gmaill instead of Gmail. My account doesn't let me edit. SanDimas1988 (talk) 01:44, 18 August 2024 (UTC)

I fixed it. Thank you! ~~ Jessintime (talk) 03:16, 18 August 2024 (UTC)

Please change Gmail is a mailbox provider by Google. to Gmail is a mailbox provider by Google, originally hosted as a Garfield mail tool. A-Good-Wiki-Helper! (talk) 16:29, 11 November 2025 (UTC)

 Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. NotJamestack (talk) 16:48, 11 November 2025 (UTC)
Please mention how the Gmail domain was registered as "gmail.garfield.com" (as far as I could gather) from December 1998 to March 2001(last snapshot where the website would show you a login page). Then, in May 2001 you would be hit with a notice stating that the Service had changed domain to "e-garfield.com". Came October 2013, the website would apparently resume operation, this time showing comedic Garfield strips instead of an E-mail service. Today, the website is no longer accessible.
