Yahoo Ups Mail to Match Google's Gig

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. "

It was bound to happen

...that means more room for all the spam, pr0n and other guff I get cos of using my yahoo account to 'register' for stuff. Even better - I only have to visit it once a year or even every two to empty it all out. Superb, cheers Yahoo!

That's nothing

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.

What else would you like which has nothing to do with email before you'll use their email service? You did say that's just the start.

Perhaps you'd like it if they sold tinfoil hats.

How to lose your yahoo uk account: "I heard the guy on the bus say his apartment got burglarized."

How to keep your yahoo uk account: "Heard the bloke on the lorry say his flat got burgled."
