This blog is inspired by a question from the Gmail Help Community where the user had posted asking how to estimate the size of a Gmail Draft. Daily users of Gmail would know that Gmail doesn't display either the size of individual messages or drafts and it would be a nice thing if they did so that the users would know how close they are to the 25 MB message size limit. But until that day arrives, how should we approach handling this question? Gmail search always had size , larger , and smaller operators and we are going to use them. We might not get the exact size, but we can get a fairly close approximate value. Let's see how! We have created a set of three drafts. Two fairly similar and one slightly smaller. The Gmail search bar is located above the messages. So, we click on the downward arrow that's to the right of the bar and focus on the few fields that are towards the bottom of the search definition screen, namely Size and Search.
