How much space are you using at Gmail?
 

"You are currently using 1919 MB (72%) of your 2671 MB."

I got hella spammed. So I setup filters to go to the trash.
"1 - 100 of 243173"

And it's been there for months. There's no purge button, and they don't auto purge the trash after 30 days like they say in the help files. Lame.
