In most cases, you'll have to go with the default for most online mail
services.
Gmail - 20MB
Yahoo - 10MB
Hotmail - 10MB
That being said, there still are many places with silly email policies that
wonder why no one uses their service. My undergrad, for example, still has
a quota of 11MB for everything in your mailbox -- all your messages!
That's the same quota they've had since 1992.
