The one I found particularly useful is this one: "» The query string "has:attachment" will list all messages that have an attachment. If you further refine the string to "has:attachment from:me label:sent" - it will show all messages with attachment in the Sent Mail folder that were sent by you.

The thing is, Google is not in the business of selling email space, Jimmy. They would end up spending more sustaining the infrastructure needed to collect cash from a few individuals, than what they would actually gain from providing such a service. Sadly, their standard answer at the moment is "We keep adding free space, please bear with us"... but this is hardly good enough for the growing number of folks who are running out of Gmail space. What Gmail sorely, sorely needs is the ability to sort messages by something other than date. All over the Web you read requests, cries even of folks who want to sort by read/unread messages, sort by size, sort by answered/unanswered. I'm guessing that, given the way Gmail works (based on searches), implementing sorting has proven so difficult that they haven't rolled it out just yet. I don't even want to imagine the possibility that they haven't even begun work on this... although that's certainly possible. And Jimmy, one final word: you can click on the little "Show search options" link next to the search buttons in Gmail, which shows an option to search for emails with attachments. Maybe not a complete solution, but it's a start. Jimmy and Dan,

That being said, I agree that Google has become enough of a household name that people tend to trust it, no matter if it says Beta or not, and if something bad happens, the pillar of trust begins to crack. And lately, it's been cracking in several places.. hopefully they can fix it before it crashes!
