Just think what email would be like without Gmail?
Everyone would be still stuck with sub-10MB.
Amazing what a little competition can cause.

Personaly, I dont think anyone needs a gig, no where near.
Whats more, I think Yahoo, Gmail ect are counting on there users only using a fraction!
Gmail has the best interface of any web-mail client though, how they get it all working so and looking well using mearly javascript is beyond me.

Now the only thing that Yahoo needs to do to match Google is rescind the condition that you must visit the account at least once every three months.

That can be a pain. I once lost all my e-mails at Yahoo because I didn’t visit the account regularly enough. Yeah, it was a back up account but it was for a specific purpose.

Yeah, but I wonder if you’re still limited to the size of each e-mail.

If you read the article, it states the upgrade will not commence until April.

It says that the upgrade will start in April and take about two weeks to finish, so you’d have to wait a bit.

Hmm, I logged to my Y! email account, and it still shows 250MB. How can I upgrade to 1GB?
