In celebration of its coming 10th year of existence, Yahoo’s mail service is lifting its mail storage capacity from the current limit of 1 gigabyte per user account to — unlimited. Beats Google’s 2.8+++ and Microsoft Live’s 2 gigabyte storage limit.
That means, Yahoo users would never have to delete old emails anymore. For how long? I guess for as long as they are alive and they can use the computer. Yahoo also plans to expand the limit capacity of its photo sharing site, Flickr soon.
Looks like Yahoo is really jumpstarting its products and services to beat erstwhile rival Google. Yesterday, it launched Yahoo! Mobile Publisher Service which is way ahead of what Google launched with its mobile search service. And now, with this increase in mail storage capacity, expect loyal Yahoo! Mail users who switched to Google go back to Yahoo! Mail again.
Exciting times ahead for these two search engine giants indeed.

gmail has had big storage space much earlier than yahoo. but anyway, yahoo might also come handy, in case i need one. thanks
no need to switch back to yahoo or vice versa. just keep both email account active since both are free, a third one from Microsoft live is a bonus and handy but not that hotmail one which i dumped a long time ago.
