Yahoo Boosts Free E-mail Storage To 100MB

Yahoo Boosts Free E-mail Storage To 100MB

KingFish 14 May, 2004 at 5:12am ET Article published in Tech

Web portal Yahoo will begin offering “virtually unlimited storage” for its paid e-mail customers and will upgrade free users to 100MB, an executive said Thursday.

The upgrade is part of an overall enhancement for Yahoo Mail that will launch this summer. Besides additional storage, the service will get a face-lift and tie in more Yahoo-branded services, such as Photos and Messenger. The announcement comes a month after search rival Google said it would launch a free e-mail service called Gmail that offers 1GB of storage, considerably more space than free versions of Yahoo Mail and Microsoft’s Hotmail. Yahoo currently offers 4MB of storage to free users of its e-mail service.
