They just bumped mine up to 2gb. I have been paying for pop access so the bumped mine to teh yahoo plus which has no ads, intellisync, and 2gb. I've heard that this is all because of the gmail scare but if gmail dosen't allow pop access, even at a price, it is virtually useless to me.

I hope when gmail goes public Yahoo ups their's to 1GB and 100MB per message. That'll put some stink in Google's shorts. :D

You would think. They're measly 2mb is pitiful compared to the 100mb Yahoo gives to free users, and 2gb to paid members.
