"As Yahoo! Mail approaches its 10-year anniversary, I’m the lucky one who gets to announce that we will begin offering everyone unlimited email storage starting in May 2007. To mark the occasion, I checked in with David Nakayama, our group vice president of engineering, for some perspective on this milestone. In case that name doesn’t ring a bell, he’s the developer of RocketMail, one of the world’s first webmail products, which Yahoo! acquired and relaunched as Yahoo! Mail in 1997."

who cares... even 1gb is more than enuf..

Will all users in the yahoo.com domain will be upgraded to unlimited storage?

What about .co.in and .co.us users?

N

Well definitely space will be increased among all international yahoo! mail users. It should go same as last when Yahoo! upgraded everybody to 1GB.

I predict that GMail will offer it too within three months.

even 500 MB is more than enough
they know that we are not going to use that much until they increase the size of the attachement files from 10MB

No more use ,yaar , even 250 MB was enough

even rediffmail has unlimited space.

actually i hardly use 1-2 % of my mail space...

yes a 250 mb is all that i need ...

i am using 5% i think, of my gmail account....well mostly filled with spams and all....so in effect some 2%??????.

my yahoo mail is 40% full with 90 % Spam

i can't manage my mails , that's y i opted for Gmail

@arya.. Gmail is different.. Its a cut above the rest.. It wont follow the crowd. It sets its own trends

Rediff & Yahoo should also consider giving the facility of pop3 support. Otherwise increased storage space doesn't make any sense.

@max_demon.......me tooo for the same reason....

I am suing 400 MB in my gmail account after deleting many mails.

rediff is cheater.... in new system of inbox, they removed option of last email button... suppose u want to go specific page or last page... u have to click "next" button oftenly.... so on every page, ur bandwidth is used due to advertisements.....

sucks.... even takes more time for transfer emails sometimes.....

Just wait and watch. You'll be surprised how competition can force anyone to change.

Has anyone seen rediffmail.com
its Unlimited Now...........

There was a time when people was running for storage, not anymore. Now they must offer features that rival anyone else

ohhff....
and wat about yahoo breifcase..??

I m using Zapak for the past few months although I have a yahoo id but feel Zapak to be good with the 2GB of space that it offers.

Even 250 MB is enough

Thanks for the news

Why dont they offer POP3 access, and increase allowed extension size so that someone may write a utility like Gmail drive for yahoo mail

They do offer POP3 access.

N

I think he said about for free POP3 access. The comapnies currently offer only paid POP3 access except Yahoo! and Gmail who currently offer free POP3 access.

Yeah, well, I thought he was talking about Yahoo! because the topic is about them.

AOL offers free IMAP. Doesn't anyone here use AOL? I do.

Yahoo! Offers free POP3 access. I get it for free on .co.in ID.

Yeah, I know. That is what I said. "They do offer POP3 access."

@ankitsagwekar, Yahoo! gives POP3 access for free. Not SMTP though. You can install YPops for that.

Yes guys, you do need all this space. I like to retain all the forwards i recieve, which really uses up a lot of space.
On the other hand, instead of an Unlimited storage limited to mainbox only, i would any day opted for a 10 GB Space on Yahoo, which would be shared by Mail, Photo, Briefcase and all the other yahoo services.

For those people confused about POP3 access, Yahoo Country Domains like .co.in offer free POP3, Yahoo Internation domain charges for POP3.
Even Windows Live Mail offers IMAP but it is limited to Windows Live Mail Desktop beta and for some users supported even on Outlook Express.
