Anyone else notice that Yahoo popped up a new improved email service today? Besides colors and such, the only BIG thing is they increased the size of your Email account.
100MB.
WTF?
I guess Gmail has them scared...
They say there is now better spam protection, but I still get an average of 100 Spam Emails a day.
Now if they just bring back POP3 access...
100MB.

I agree. They need to bring back POP3... but yeah, I heard they were trying to get customers from Gmail and Hotmail. This will surely help, but POP3 would get me to make Yahoo my primary account.
and for $20/year you get 2GB of space?? that's insane... that doesn't include POP3, does it? Well, if it did you wouldn't need 2GB.. nevermind
It was working fairly fast for me, but then again at work, I'm on a T1

Heh, 1 GIGABITE of email storage.
No banner or image ads, they still have ads, but so far, I REALLY like them.
If you were to email me about injectors, it'd have a little text ad off to the side about injectors.
It also gives you the ability to do a search thru your Gig of emails for one in particular.
Very very very nice.
Spam seems to be NON existant also on that network. Not to mention, they are gonna be adding Pop3 access.
