Yahoo To Expand E-Mail Storage to 1 Gigabyte

Associated Press - March 23, 2005

Yahoo Inc. is quadrupling the amount of storage provided with its free e-mail and upgrading its desktop search software in its battle with rivals Google and Microsoft Corp.

Yahoo said it would provide 1 gigabyte of storage for each free e-mail account. The current is 250 megabytes. The expanded storage will be available in mid-April.

The expanded e-mail storage enables Yahoo to catch up with online search engine leader Google, which offers an invitation only service that has been offering 1 gigabyte of storage for nearly one year. Microsoft's Hotmail service offers 250 megabytes of free e-mail storage.

Now.......may we please hear from Mr. Gates?

Just keeping up with the volume of spam people are recieving.

Seriously, do people need a Gig of storage? I have about 10 pop3s and a bunch of aliases feeding my inbox and I only use a sliver of that.
