| Yahoo to launch 100MB free e-mail
Read this apple. " Yahoo to launch 100MB free e-mail Yahoo on Tuesday will begin offering 100MB of extra storage for users of its free e-mail service as part of an overall redesign of its mail service. Along with the 100MB boost, Yahoo will upgrade Mail Plus paid users to 2GB of storage and lower its yearly subscription from $29.99 a year to $19.99. Other a la carte services, such as POP e-mail forwarding, will consolidate under this plan and no longer be sold on a standalone basis. " http://zdnet.com.com/2100-1104_2-523...=zdfd.newsfeed Apple should be feeling a sense of urgency now. come on ... upgrade my webmail and iDisk ... please! We pay 5 times more than yahoo user will for 2GB or nothing for the 100MB!

Yeah give us 1GB for our $100. Seems fair to me. I'm sick of mail getting bounced because the box is too small. This is the only apple product i think sucks. Give me my moneys worth.

The new 100MB mailboxes are up and running on Yahoo; of course, I'm actually seeing some connectivity problems with Yahoo as probably every single user is trying it out... Here's hoping for a bump in .Mac sometime this year.

They may have some major issues with the new layout they made for the service...on the Mac platform at least. Was able to connect somewhat fine, but half the buttons don't work...specifically the Reply, Forward, Delete, and SPAM ones when viewing a message. Hopefully that was just a connection issue or something and not their web dev practicing 'voodoo programming'.

i still have 6 mb in my yahoo account space. can it be that it was because it was yahoo brazil that was later changed to yahoo italy, then yahoo usa and now yahoo ireland? are the 100 mb going to be universal, or does my yahoo location have to be in usa to make it 100 mb?

I had been paying for Yahoo POP access, and I was spontaneously upgraded this morning to Yahoo Mail Plus, with 2gb of storage! Whoa. I also had some problems connecting, but I thought it was the DNS here... perhaps not...
