   Considering that Yahoo Mail offers unlimited storage Google’s recent storage increase is somewhat of a yawner… I’d rather see those rumored upgrades to the gmail interface instead… Plus contacts synchronization with Outlook would be really sweet…

   it would have been a different story for Yahoomail, if they let free users pop/imap access. Unless Yahoo opened this up, i think Gmail is still handsdown the winner regardless of disk space

   For everyday web sign ups, I use hotmail, (let M$ be bothered with spam for a change), for serious contacts and personal communications, I use Gmail for my domain. Yahoo? just for YM.

   What i really like about gmail is it’s star labeling feature where you can tag special/important emails with a star, so you can easily retrieve and view them. Disk space is not really an issue to me.. 3 gig is a big space enough, what matters to me is how i can easily access those important messages i have.

   If I have a Terabit connection, I’d declare Yahoo! the winner with unlimited storage. But I haven’t, and all you guys are stuck with the crappy bandwidth Philippine ISPs could only offer, as well.

   Now I tell you, when you fill that 5GB of space Gmail offers within an hour like what I could do on my hard drive, that’s the only time I’d be leaving Gmail and switching to your ISP.

   People are mostly limited by bandwidth rather than disk space. I bet that’s the calculation Yahoo! made before declaring the limitlessness of their resources. I wouldn’t waste time to transfer data back-and-forth from a remote storage, I’d buy another hard disk drive for that.

    Its nice to have that storage capacity. At least spammers could not easily drown our emails with useless craps.

    Ok. I was wrong, It said to affect all browers but no evidence of that. Slow scrolling is one of the problem with the new version gmail.

    @all there is a firefox exploit that can hack your gmail account.

    Me too, I’ll rather be happy if Gmail will update their mail interface.

    What is this email purportedly from Gmail team that asked you to give your name and password or else you will be deactivated from Google mail?
