[Hidden-tech] reducing gmail tips

[David Ruderman]

Good question.
 
Apparently the answer is that Gmail doesn't have a good way to do this.
 
Common sense says, delete as many messages with large attachments as you
can.
So, open the 'All Mail' and search for example on has:attachment wmv
Select all and delete and repeat for other well known potentially large file
extensions.
 
Alternatively, you can connect to Gmail via an IMAP client like Outlook or
Thunderbird and deal with files from there.
Here's some tips.
