SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Yahoo Inc. plans to offer unlimited e-mail storage to its roughly quarter of a billion users, starting in May, it said on Tuesday.
The world's biggest e-mail service is scrapping its free e-mail storage limit of 1 gigabyte, or about a billion bytes of data, responding to explosive growth in attachment sizes as people share ever more photos, music and videos via e-mail.
... "We are giving them no reason to ever have to delete old e-mails," Yahoo co-founder David Filo said in a phone interview. "You can keep stuff forever."
-- Eric Auchard for The Washington Post
Now, if only they would do away with that three-month rule (or is it one month?), whereby they delete your account if you don't use it in that time. Or at least extend it to a year. Just in case you get disconnected and getting back into cyberspace is not so automatic for you - a very Monk-ish possibiilty.
