That gives spammers a new ground. 1GB from Yahoo will just encourage them to send a lot more spam. Gmail is new and doesn't have all the spam yet.

Gmail is new and doesn't have all the spam yet.Spammers don't care how much storage space you have in your Email account. They spam to spam cause that's what spammers do - spam, spam, spam!!! When GMail came out Yahoo increased its storage space from 4MB to 250MB and I didn't notice any spam increase in all of my Yahoo accounts. And I'll speculate that in due time, once GMail becomes fully public it will have it's fair share of spam.

That's why they have 'anti-spam' features and you can choose to block who or what organization(s) you don't want to receive mail from. People have busy lives nowadays and don't go to their computers to check if their email box is full and constantly delete mail one doesn't have time to look at to make room for more mail.

When Hotmail's email boxes were only 2MB, I had to delete lots of email to make room in my box. I have a few friends on my email list and I get mail from them from time to time. If someone tries to send, it will be sent back and I'll never know if I received it.

It will be a plus but there will always be someone who'll abuse what you offer that's supposed to be good.

And besides, I have broadband and I can go through junk email I receive, cartoons, animations, fun pages much faster and delete them.

Oh great. Like I need all that space. Ugh.

I'll probably be the only person unhappy with this. :lol:

haaaaaa haaaaaa stupid yahoo trying to keep up with google.

I saw something on my local news yesterday where people can now spam spammers, I need to look on their website for the web address for it, now that would rock to spam a spammer :evilgrin:

Anyone who needs 1 freaking gigabyte for their e-mail storage really needs to get a life.

In the 9 months I've had Gmail, I've only managed to go through 65MB (and that's transferring about 300 JPEGs to boot)

there's actually a utility that lets you access GMail as remote storage - you can just move or copy files there like it was a regular folder in Windows.

I haven't used it, but I have heard that it actually works....

wow.
Um I have yahoo :D
