Yahoo plans to once again raise its free email storage, this time to 1GB. The rise in email storage matches the same email storage offered by search rival Google. The storage change is said to begin in late April for Yahoo's free email users, whose current storage mark is set to 250MB. Yahoo said that it will take about two weeks for their free email users to see the difference.

Yahoo's storage boost comes only one week after Google began giving Gmail accounts to random visitors of its homepage. The giving of random Gmail accounts has raised speculation of Google possibly allowing Gmail accounts available to the public on April 1st, one year after Gmail's beta launch. Yahoo's vice president of communications products, Brad Garlinghouse, said in an interview that the storage upgrade is not a response to Google's latest actions

Hmm... I have used 2% (250MB) of my Hotmail, and I'm glad to see this latest move by Yahoo!

where's this gonna leave Hotmail?.. they'll have to raise there's to match the competition

There is already a thread about this no need to post it again

Actually this thread was posted before the other one.. so... yeah... o.O

Who really needs 1 GB of email storage? I've barely used 3% of my 250 MB for Hotmail...

Exactly. If you offer more than someone will need it should always do. By the time the bulk of users begin to reach about 1GB (in the future we can only assume we will send larger and larger files). They may increase it, I'm talking around 30 years from now, tbh. Hotmail is going to be screwed by this, everyone wants as much as possible, however for Yahoo's plan to work they need to get it in before Gmail, which means Gmail better hurry up
