Yahoo! strikes back in mailbox-size war
Yahoo! Mail now offers unlimited e-mail storage for all its users. A nice touch for their upcoming 10th anniversary, but since Gmail’s e-mail storage (near 3 GBs and increasing) is enough for 99.99% of users out there, and for basically all practical purposes, it’s not a revolution - it’s just a continuation of mailbox-size wars which were raging for a while after Gmail had introduced 1 GB storage. It is, however, another sign that Yahoo! wants to be at the forefront of the web, and not play second fiddle to Google.
Unfortunately, the maximum attachment size is still 10 MB (20 MB for paying Yahoo! Plus subscribers) - the same as Gmail - so the unlimited storage won’t change the fact that sending big files via e-mail is not an option. So, if you need to send a big file to someone, you’re still going to have to use tools like YouSendIt or MailBigFile.

I’m looking forward to seeing something along the lines of gmail-drive for yahoo now. Then we can really see just how unlimited it is

I know what you mean. Gmail is more than an e-mail reader; it’s a very versatile tool. It’s hard to compete with that, no matter what the storage capacity is.
