Hang on Google has a reputation for just closing or changing facilities they don't make a profit out of so I would question whether your informant is "in the know".

Fairly recently they either closed or modified beyond recognition Google Buzz, Google Reader, Picasa and have discontinued dozens of other services over the years.

Perhaps some of them are very big ones?
Don't forget that 15Gb includes all your Google services including Photos, Blogger, Calendar, Keep, Google+ etc as well as email. Photos can take up a lot of room

I do have a Hotmail addy that I use for ebay but it's not a patch on my Orange one.

I'm not happy about having to change.

Has this happened to anybody else?
Carol I got a letter in the post today from Orange about the closure, did you get one too.

How are you doing, I am all set up with Gmail

Very wise. I have had a Gmail address for a couple of years or so now, although I haven't been using it routinely until Virgin Media e-mail became unreliable.

I can honestly say that I have found Gmail completely reliable.

(Ooops! What have I said? You know what's going to happen now, don't you? )
