As of today, Yahoo just upgraded their email service. I think that they are scared of all of their customers leaving for a better free alternative. Old Yahoo was 6mb of email storage, then they downgraded to 4mb of email storage about a year ago. Well, today they just
upgraded their service to
100mb of storage and a 10mb maximum message sending capacity. Wow, thanks Yahoo!.......and all this for free?! YES!
My mind is thinking now though. IMHO, I believe the reason Yahoo! is doing this is because they don't want to lose all of their customers to Gmail, Google's new email service which is still in Beta testing, but will be released probably by the end of this year (do NOT quote me on that! It's a random guess) -
http://www.gmail.com - Gmail offers
1gb of online storage. That's a monster!!! And yes, it will be free service as well.
Yahoo must be scared out of their minds and is trying to ehance their service for all of their free customers so that when Gmail hits, it won't hit as hard. I've been with Yahoo for a year now and think it's a great free alternative, MUCH better than any MSN PoS. Their new interface is more streamlined but it's taking more time to load all of the links where as before it loaded each click of my mouse instantly. I'm sure they will work out all of the kinks over the coming weeks.
Maybe Yahoo is just really nice and has done this out of the kindess of their hearts........maybe?
Good luck to Yahoo and Gmail........ let the free email service wars begin!!! (......again....)
