Gmail users can reclaim 15GB of free storage with new account method

cnet.com

Gmail users can reclaim 15GB of free storage by creating a second account to archive old emails. This method allows users to keep their messages without paying for additional storage, which is often needed when the original account is full. To transfer emails, users should back up their data first, then enable POP settings in their original account. After creating a new account, they can import emails, which may take hours or days depending on the volume of messages. The transfer process excludes Drafts and Spam, which users must manage separately. Once completed, users can delete the app password created for the transfer and ensure their original account remains active by signing in every two years.
