cj001f Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 What the hell are you gonna do with 100MB of emails? Not have your mailbox get shutdown after day 3 of 2 week trip because of spam, daily updates, and correspondence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cracked Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 You get 1.25 megs per day of email?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cj001f Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 When you have 1Meg of stored e-mail, you have 3 megs @ 50-100kB for some commercial e-mails, that's 30-60 e-mails, or 10-20 a day. Yes, I get that much e-mail, probably 50% of which is spam, which the crappy Yahoo filter doesn't catch. And since I've had my account for 6 or 7 years now, I don't want to change. I get even more e-mail at work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dustin_B Posted June 17, 2004 Share Posted June 17, 2004 Does anyone check their yahoo email through outlook? I do this with my hotmail and msn email accounts but can't figure out how to do it with my yahoo email account. It makes it much easier to check and sort all my email accounts when I can do it through outlook. thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Double_E Posted June 17, 2004 Author Share Posted June 17, 2004 Gmail = 1 Gb. I figured that had to have been why Yahoo bumped it all the way up to 100 megs! was wondeing if G-mail had come out yet, I knew it was supposed to soon. funny.. the user interface looks strangely like Yahoo's former UI..

Dru Posted June 17, 2004 Share Posted June 17, 2004 Angling for new users, Yahoo has decided to let people begin signing up for addresses that have been inactive for years. The offer is designed to lure Web surfers who may have been previously interested in signing up for a free Yahoo e-mail account only to learn one of their preferred handles had already been claimed. "Some of these addresses could be very juicy and might attract a lot of interest," said David Ferris, an e-mail analyst in San Francisco. Yahoo says "tens of millions" of dormant e-mail addresses will be made available again. The company also say it will improve the tools used to search its e-mails — a feature that Google has been touting — and spruce up the service with a cleaner look.

No, actually, they really don't. Yahoo actually pretty much sucks. I did hear that the founder, whatever his name is, is a major anti-bush contributor, so I give him Same thing for Google.

snoboy Posted June 20, 2004 Share Posted June 20, 2004 Probably worried about the ads that gmail inserts that are based on the content of your emails, and that when you delete an email it does not ever really go away with gmail, it's still on the servers... Draw your own conclusions. I feel that email is not secure anyways, and there are already enough companies out there that probably are probably doing far more invasive data mining than simply scanning my emails for keywords. Course gmail is still beta, and I haven't signed up yet. Anyways, you can read googles response to concerns here. I noticed snugtop has though... maybe she could give us some feedback.

thelawgoddess Posted June 20, 2004 Share Posted June 20, 2004 seems to be quite some "careful" wording in there. i wonder what you have to agree to when you sign up for the service. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
