Yahoo will provide users of its free Web e-mail service 1 gigabyte of storage, four times its current offering, equaling the storage capacity of rival Google's popular Gmail, said Andy Spillane, vice president of Yahoo Mail.
"We know that people are using their Yahoo Mail accounts to send and store more attachments, photos and important messages than ever before," he said in a statement. "By providing 1GB of storage for free, we continue with our eight-year tradition of making Yahoo Mail an even more essential part of people's lives."
The upgrade from 250MB to 1GB will begin in late April and will include improved antivirus protection for the free e-mail service, according to the company. The protection will give users the ability to remove viruses from attachments. That feature was previously available only for a fee.
