I must admit to being a little puzzled as to why GMail is so great? So it has 1GB - so what? If I download POP3 mail onto my computer I can have as much space as I want.

They're probably relying on the fact that 99% of it will be spam, and the same spam will be in everyones mailboxes so it will compress REALLY well!
