Yahoo to Expand E-Mail Storage to 1 Gigabyte
From Associated Press
Yahoo Inc. is quadrupling the amount of storage provided with its free e-mail and upgrading its desktop search software in its battle with rivals Google Inc. and Microsoft Corp.
Yahoo said it would provide 1 gigabyte of storage for each free e-mail account. The current limit is 250 megabytes. The expanded storage will be available in mid-April.
The expanded e-mail storage enables Yahoo to catch up with online search engine leader Google, which offers an invitation-only service that has been offering 1 gigabyte of storage for nearly a year. Microsoft’s Hotmail service offers 250 megabytes of free e-mail storage.
