While I continue to be terribly lame when it comes to managing my own inbox (it’s a frightening, frightening place, I tell you) I am so excited about this one little tool I just discovered that helps free up storage space in your Gmail account.

Find
Big Mail
is an app that does just that–it parses your Google mail
account for those lurking 40KB emails and notes with 16 attachments that
take up valuable storage space. Enter your email, and in less than an
hour (usually a lot less) while you continue to work, it’s created 3
labels–>10MB, >5MB, and >1 MB–to help you find the offending
notes. It also emails you with a dandy pie chart and quick links to the
biggest emails in your archives. So easy.

Don’t worry, it never has access to your content or to your email
password, only to the size of the emails in storage. Even big
universities and companies like Gawker use it to save money on storage
fees.

Also? It’s totally free. Unless you make a voluntary $2 donation to them in return Which is the nice thing to do. –Liz

  1. This is awesome. I’m going to do it, and if it allows me to not buy the extra $5 of gmail storage I’ve been buying each year, I’ll donate to the app!
