Wow... I'm impressed and it wont invade your privacy as much from what I have read.The storage hikes were announced by Yahoo executives at an analyst meeting on Thursday, where the company was keen to show that it is ready to take on rival Google, which grabbed headlines with the announcement in March that it is planning to offer a free e-mail service with a 1GB limit dubbed Gmail.
Responding to the Gmail offer, Yahoo plans to raise the storage limits for its free e-mail users later in the second quarter or third quarter of this year from the current 6MB to 100MB, a U.K. spokeswoman for the company confirmed Friday. Meanwhile, premium subscribers -- who currently pay close to US$50 a year for 100MB of storage -- will be given "virtually unlimited" capacity later this year, the spokeswoman said.
