Yahoo! Mail maxes storage
March 28th, 2007 by Randy Stewart, Product Manager
Happy 10th birthday Yahoo! Mail and thanks for the presents. Yesterday, Yahoo! Mail announced that starting in May, it will be rolling out email accounts with unlimited storage to all users.
To put “unlimited” email into perspective, when Yahoo! Mail (initially RocketMail) started, they gave users 2 megabytes of email. Before yesterday’s announcement, they offered premium subscribers 2 gigabytes of email, a thousand fold increase. Unlimited storage, well, is a lot bigger :-).
While we’ve spent quite a bit of time talking about our friends over at Google, unlimited storage definitely trumps Gmail’s 2 gigs. This is no small feature from our friends at Yahoo!
Congrats Yahoo! Mail (and happy birthday)!
