Increased space for yahoo mail users

[dabuddha]

Was checking my yahoo mail this morning and noticed that I now have 100 meg of storage space with a message size limit of 10 meg now! The new interface is kinda nice looking too.

Sweet, now I can fit more spam! 😀

 

[Aharami]

why isnt hotmail jumping on the bandwagon dammit!!! :|

Not all accounts seem to be upgraded yet. I wonder what triggers it.

 

[WileCoyote]

i just went up to a 2gb quota... only 1% filled so far =)

 

[gluck]

Awesome! Yahoo rules. Hotmail sucks :thumbsdown:

LOL Yahoo mail isn't even coming up for me right now... getting PCBD. Hotmail and GMail are up though. 😉 As a matter of fact, none of the Yahoo services (calendar, briefcase,etc.) are up for me.

Sweet. 😀

I just cleaned out my mailbox too. Time to tell my friends to email me all those pics again...

 

[TheWart]

woohoo! yahoo took advantage of the extra space to send me the email telling me they upgraded service as a 500kb message!

 

[jjones]

Cool. I never even used the 6 megs they gave before, but more is always a good thing.

 

[JEDI]

one of my yahoo acct is 100mergs, other is still 6megs.

anyone know when everything will be upgraded?

 

[RobCur]

i have 2gb but it so slow now!

 

[MikePanic]

yea... yahoo has been struggling to keep its servers from binding all day under the pressure

Sweet. I knew this would happen when Google launched its Gmail. Competition is good. I've got a Gmail account too, but I have no plans on ditching my Yahoo account either. They're both good sites and services. The funny thing is that most of this MB and GB talk is just marketing ploys since the vast majority of people won't even come close to touching the 100MBs Yahoo's providing, must less the 1GB Gmail's providing.

It looks like yahoo is super slow this morning... probably everyone is checking to see if they've been upgraded.

 

[Kaervak]

This will be good for my aunt who never deletes any of her mail.

 

[Armitage]

Yea, cool except the new interface is completely FUBAR'ed on Konqueror

Same here. I don't even keep my email on their server. I'll never use that much.

You'd be surprised with all the attachments that are flying around.

what cracks me up now is hotmail, with their 2MB and biggest spam database in the world.

if yu want extra space there you can spend $59 a year for 100MB! WOOT!!

500 bytes, not kilobytes...
