Yahoo Mail Announces Unlimited Storage

Yahoo is announcing
that all Yahoo Mail users will have free unlimited email storage
starting in May 2007. The current storage limit is 1 GB per account (2
GB for $20/year premium users). With this change, Yahoo leapfrogs Gmail
(2.8 GB and growing) and Live.com Mail (2GB). Yahoo mail currently has
250 million global users, more than any other online service (Live.com
has 228 million and Gmail has 51 million users). See this feature by feature comparison of the services for more information.

I spoke with Yahoo’s Vice President of Mail, John Kremer, this
afternoon about the announcement. He says the new storage limits (or
rather lack of a limit) affect all Yahoo mail users, not just users of
the new beta product.
