gmail capacity
gmail has a fixed amount of mail that can be stored, and regular users can store up to 15GB of mail, which is quite large.

In addition, you can attach files up to 25MB in size when sending mail, and you can receive attachments up to 50MB when receiving mail.
However, if you leave the heavy files and photos attached to the email as they are, it may be full even if it has 15GB of space.

What happens if I use the gmail capacity to the limit?Also, how do I remove the capacity I′m using?These questions will be explained in this article.
What happens when gmail fills up?
First of all, let′s see what happens when the gmail capacity is full.
lose one′s ability to receive mail
If you use up to the limit of 15GB, you will not be able to receive mail sent to your Gmail address.

The mail that was not received is sent back to the sender.
Failure to receive emails will cause problems in both business and private life.I′d like to avoid the situation where I can′t receive important information.
Google Drive, Google Photos Disappeared
Gmail stores mail in a large capacity of 15GB, but the storage capacity of 15GB is not only gmail, but also Google Drive and Google Photos combined.
Therefore, if you use gmail to the maximum limit, you will not be able to save files with Google Drive and Google Photo.

It could be quite a big blow for those who use it at work.Let′s pay attention to the remaining capacity.
How do I increase my gmail capacity?
If you want to increase the capacity of gmail, you can increase the capacity by subscribing to the monthly plan.

At the bottom of the gmail home screen, you can see the capacity you are currently using, but there is a link below that says ′Manage′, so let′s click on it.
Displays the total amount of storage currently in use and the paid plan.

The cheapest plan is 250 yen per month, but you can add as much as 100GB of capacity.It′s enough for those who don′t store large files such as videos.
You can pay by credit card or GooglePlay gift card.
Organize your gmail capacity!
As long as Gmail does not delete it, old mail will continue to remain.There are many cases where you don′t need old e-mails such as e-mails from a year ago.
In such a case, you can free up space by searching for and deleting old mails.Enter ′older_than:1y′ in the gmail search form.This will search for emails that are more than a year old.
′older_than:′ refers to when the mail was received, and ′1y′ refers to one year or more, or ′more than a year ago.′With ′2y,′ you can change the conditions as shown in more than two years ago.

Now, let′s delete these old emails by clicking the check box in the upper left corner and then clicking the trash can icon.You can now free up space.
You can search for other conditions and display the corresponding email.Key search operators include:
′size:1m′ Display mail with size greater than or equal to 1MB
bberore: January 1, 2018 するView emails before January 1, 2018
romfrom:○○@○○ 特定View mail sent from a specific email address
Because these search operators can be combined, you can also view results similar to ′mail from a particular person sent on or before January 1, 2018, in a size of 1MB or larger.′
Also, there may be cases where you want to delete only the attached file instead of deleting the email itself, but as of January 2018, you cannot delete only the attached file, so let′s back up only the body of the email and delete it.
What is automatic deletion of gmail mail?
With gmail, you can automatically delete mail using Apps Script provided by Google.

If you set up a script to automatically delete mail that has passed a certain period of time, you can free up space without having to manually organize your mail.
However, it is difficult to set up scripts and is not recommended for general users who are not familiar with the program.If you really want to set up an automatic deletion script, remember the code carefully.
