Yahoo users get unlimited email storage

WIBBLESOME OUTFIT Yahoo has celebrated its mail service's tenth birthday by giving its users unlimited mail storage.

From May, Yahoo will eliminate the one-gigabyte cap on memory for people with free e-mail accounts and two-gigabyte cap of memory for those who pay for premium accounts.

According to AFP, Yahoo Mail is the most popular web-based e-mail service and had more than 250 million users.

Originally Yahoo only offered account holders four MB per account. As one of the developers pointed out most of them routinely send and receive individual mail attachments bigger than that now. Yahoo said its "e-mail server farms" could handle the storage load and the company will invest in improved capacity where necessary. µ
