    This Tuesday Yahoo will begin to offer 100MB of additional storage for users for its free mail, as part of a strategy to redesign the service.

    "Along with the 100MB boost, Yahoo will upgrade Mail Plus paid users to 2GB of storage and lower its yearly subscription from $29.99 a year to $19.99. Other a la carte services, such as POP e-mail forwarding, will consolidate under this plan and no longer be sold on a standalone basis."

    Aside from this additional space, there are also plans to make the e-mail service a lot sleeker, faster and cleaner.

    More here.

    Yea, great!

    Now I don't have to get myself a Gmail account but can keep my _very_ old Yahoo address!

    And those 100mb will prolly be enough to keep all my SPAM when I'm out racing this summer! haha

    Yes, it is jumping bac and forth a bit...

    Sometimes I have 6mb sometimes 100...

    Guess they have some content caching servers or something...

    Yahoo mail is very slow today, must be getting flooded with people signing up.

    I have been waiting a few months for this to happen. Neat.

    Very slow indeed. I also think it is neat (and about time) that they increased the attachment size to 10MB. Email is by far the easiest way to send a sigle mp3 to someone.

    Mailbox now at 100mb but since they switched to the new layout, my inbox list looks messed up.:(

    One thing that didn't seem to get mentionned is that the POP3 yahoo service seems to be free again. I enlisted for it (free of charge) & can now check my yahoo Email from Thunderbird.

    MAIL Options -> POP Access & Transfers

    From there you are offered the "Yahoo! Direct" service which is free of charge & gives you access to the POP3/SMTP service.

    Well after looking for the problem with DA, it turns out the POP3 service is available for Email on yahoo.fr. When you try to enable the POP3 service on a yahoo.com Email, it's still considered a premium service.

    Very odd situation. Maybe the interfaces/services of the different yahoo servers aren't synced yet.:confused:
