Yahoo is bumping up it's email account storage from 4MB to 100MB. http://edition.cnn.com/2004/TECH/internet/06/15/yahoo.mail.ap/index.html

And there's rumors of google's Gmail accounts to be 1GB in size? Apparently it's still in the testing phase...

Microsoft and Google are trying to put eachother out of business.
Now since G-mail is gonna come out, microsoft is making a more powerful search engine then google. :D

Technically free. You pay by viewing ads. It's still in beta, so one has to be invited to test it right now.

How do I sign up? When can I get a Gmail account?

We're currently only offering Gmail as part of a preview release and limited test. We don't have details on when Gmail will be made more widely available, as that depends in part on the results of the test. If you're interested in receiving updates on Gmail, submit your email address using the form at the bottom of this page. And you can check out a sneak peek of Gmail here.

haha, just get your own web host and domain name and you can have nearly unlimited email and you name can be [email protected]

(personally my email has a 15 gigs of space :rofl: )
