I just started a Gmail account. Can I save old (i.e. already read) emails forever and ever? I have about 5000 emails now in my Thunderbird email program which I back up on to an external hard drive once a month. Seeing as how Gmail is web-based, does that mean I can keep emails there without backing up? The total is less than 1 Gb. Does anybody know Gmail's policy on this? I am also looking to back up about 6 Gb worth of WordPerfect files. I know, I'm a dinosaur. 99% of you geezers (I'm saying this in a nice way) out there use Word. I got started using WordPerfect in the 80s when they were number 1.
I'm a cheapskate and I don't want to use paid services or go thru the backup routine every month. I once heard somewhere that Microsoft let's you store up to 25 Gb on one of their (online) programs. But I can't find anything on this. Anybody know if you can store data (word-processing files) for free online?
