Yahoo Ups Mail to Match Google's Gig

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the well-good-for-them dept.

Bruce Young writes "Yahoo said late Tuesday that it will provide 1 gigabyte of storage for each free e-mail account. The current limit is 250 megabytes. The expanded storage which will be available in mid-April will enable Yahoo to catch up with online search engine leader Google. "

    AT&T worldnet just raised their email storage limit from 10Mb to 25Mb. Woohoo.

    Yahoo got that yet? Last i checked they didn't, which means you got to go through all of Yahoo's webmail interface.

    If you sign up for a yahoo.co.uk account, you get free POP3 and SMTP access.

    Unfortunately they scan every e-mail you send for fucking ridiculous made-up words like "burglarized", so if you're actually American you'll get busted pretty quick.
