Move over, Gmail. It seems Google Apps For Your Domains Mail is now at almost 16 Gigabytes! This is a hefty increase compared to the original 2 Gigabytes at launch and GMail's current 2.7 GB.
I discovered the increase just this morning, and was certain that I was seeing things. Apparently, I'm not. Oddly, Google has been silent about this "upgrade". So, for those Google Apps For Your Domain users, check your e-mail!

Now, you've got 15 Gigabytes of excuses to do more with your e-mail!

10-31-2006 9:55 AM EST: The last 24 hours ... well, its been crazy. Google continues to visit, although they've offered no explanation for why I had the 15GB storage allocation to begin with, or why they later removed it.

Google: If I were told to keep quiet about this storage allocation, I would have done so. Unfortunately, I was never given an NDA (and having close ties to Microsoft over the years, I know all about these).
