Yahoo to offer 100mb free e-mail

Posted by geeknews on June 15, 2004 3:29 AM

In a move a day late and dollar short Yahoo has announced changes to it's free e-mail quotas. I have been using Gmail now for a couple of weeks and the speed of the service and low graphical overhead beats Yahoo hands down. My wife has been using it also and has feel in love with it. As soon as they get the International character recognition working then it will be a absolute success.

HaHa, it's funny how this is making such big news all over the internet today. I also have a gmail account, and its great as my "play" email address. But for business use I couldn't be happier with Sentinare. 1GB, POP, IMAP, SMTP, SSL. Real professional service for biz critical email.

BT.Yahoo (broadband) subscribers are being offered 2GB storage.

"...we would like to confirm that your email storage has increased from 50MB to 2GB* (or 2,000MB) for primary accounts and from 10MB to 100MB for secondary accounts."

The interface has been updated and is running pretty quickly now. Although it's still not as good as Gmail.

gmail accounts are going into the Junk folder of Yahoo mail! Now, this is bad, I mean, it would be dangerous and an unwelcome side to competition if mail servers are going to treat a competitors mail as junk!

The down side for gmail is that no exe files or zipped exe files can be send or received. user names gotta be 6 characters and up, no pop2, imap, no virus scan! What would be the use of a GB if an exe file cannot be transferred?

.... but then, hopefully that will all change with time!
