Impossible to easily clear out large mails too
Some posters have said what's the problem with just logging in and deleting mails via the web interface.
Well Gmail doesn't allow sorting by mail message size / attachment size. It doesn't even show this information. So it is impossible to make a quick and efficient clear out of the biggest files that are clogging up your account. Those 10mb powerpoint presentations for example.
The NGO I work for moved over to Google Aps a year ago, and several users just hit the 2gig limit - via Pop3 and also didn't get a warning.
It sucks. But it's worse that they make it so difficult to have a clear out.
