Just checked mine. I now have 1400 MB even. I hope this isn’t an April fool’s joke.

Tom,
I think you are partly right. The incremental growth is probably part of the April Fools joke, but they are going to 2GB for everyone.
I didn’t see the first page coz I was already signed in on this computer. It automatically redirects you to your mail.

Hey, I am pretty sure the size is because of April fools. Check out their gmail.com page… they have a graph showing size for your mail will grow to infinity + 1.

In fact, apparently they are in the process of doubling the storage for alla counts, from 1 Gb to 2 Gb. The in-between numbers we all see right now are either reflecting extra storage added in real-time or a clever marketing idea (didn’t we all notice those strange numbers even before checking the ‘New Features’ link of GMail?)
