Yahoo! to offer virtually unlimited free e-mail storage
Yahoo.com will begin offering virtually unlimited e-mail storage to it users beginning this May. Writing in a post on the Yodel Anecdotal blog, John Kremer, the Vice President of Yahoo! Mail, said the upgrade will not be rolled out to all users at once and would rather take few months to allow "smooth transition."

The announcement comes two years after Yahoo upgraded its email storage capacity to 1GB up from 4MB per account when it first launched the service in 1997. The upgrade in a way marks the 10th anniversary of the launch of Yahoo Mail, the post said.
The move is expected to rev up the competition for rivals Microsoft and Google, which provide 2 GB and 2.8 GB of free e-mail storage limits respectively.
"We hope we're setting a precedent for the future. Someday, can you imagine a hard drive that you can never fill," the blog read.
Yahoo! Mail was a launched as a transitional version of Rocketmail, a Web mail system developed by David Nakayama, Yahoo's Vice President of Engineering. Yahoo acquired the mail system from an online communications firm Four11 and relaunched it with several new feature including message alerts, page reminders and mail forwarding features.
