On Message with Ben Gross

Yahoo! says that it will offer unlimited email storage as part of it’s upcoming 10th anniversary of Yahoo! Mail. The announcement includes a short description of the history of Yahoo! Mail from it’s roots in the acquisition of RocketMail and the initial 4MB storage limit. It’s an interesting read. The new storage quotas will gradually roll out to users over the next few months. Yahoo! says it has anti-abuse limits in places, although it is not yet clear what practical implications these limits may have. The company has not yet said how the announcement will affect it’s Mail Plus offering that currently provides 2GB of storage over the default 1GB as well as additional spam filtering among other features.
