Actually, I would find this very useful. My family is fairly scattered and I don't get to see them much, but we love to exchange pictures. It's not uncommon for me to send/receive upwards of 10 MB of photos per day via email.
Saving each photo is easy enough, but a huge storage limit for webmail makes saving my photos that much easier. Plus, it's nice to know that if things go awry on my end there is a backup archive. I can even see myself setting up a second webmail account and CCing every email I send, just in case.

I got fed up with Hotmail years ago. I switched to softhome.net, but I'm equally fed up with them.

I check mine every few hours or so when I'm not working or sleeping. Like I said, it's a great way for me to keep in touch with my family. I don't have to worry about long distance phone charges, plus I get to send pictures and even short videos.
