I signed up for Yahoo Mail in 2002 it said You are using 0% of your
6.0MB limit. then when I signed up a couple of weeks ago it said You
are using 0% of your 4.0MB limit.
QUESTION:I signed up for Yahoo Mail in 2002 it said You are using 0% of your
6.0MB limit. then when I signed up a couple of weeks ago it said You
are using 0% of your 4.0MB limit. could you explain the difference or
is the Yahoo Mail that was 6.0MB now 4.0MB limit. in all Yahoo Mail
ANSWER: Here's a thought. Switch your ISP. Get hooked up with SBC Yahoo! DSL
Service (or SBC Yahoo! Dial Up Service, if you don't want to pay for
broadband). Then, when you set up your account, merge your Yahoo! web mail
account. It doesn't cost extra (for the merged Yahoo! account; you will be
paying for the Internet connection with the ISP, which is SBC Global). What
will you get for it? Your merged account is an alias to the ISP account
(sort of a two-for-one email deal), and a 25 MB email storage on the primary
account, plus 10 MB of storage on each of up to ten extra accounts. And each
extra account can also be merged with a Yahoo! web mail account...
Oh. Um. That really isn't the best solution; take it from one who is
plotting to bolt from the barn. The free email providers have to make up the
revenues for operating the service somehow. Most are downgrading in every
way possible. A year and a half ago Yahoo! dropped free SMTP and POP3 access
to yahoo.com users. You have to pay for it now. Pay for extra storage. MSN
Hotmail is charging for service enhancements. It is the way of the future;
get used to it.
