San Francisco — Internet giant Yahoo Inc. is fortifying its free e-mail service with 25 times more storage and freeing up millions of previously claimed e-mail addresses in an effort to thwart a looming threat from its increasingly disruptive rival Google Inc.
Beginning Tuesday, all of Yahoo's free e-mail accounts will be upgraded to 100 megabytes, a move spurred by Google's plans to offer 1,000 megabytes of free storage through its Gmail service, which has remained in a test phase since early April.
Yahoo has been offering four megabytes of free e-mail storage, although some people with accounts opened several years ago have six megabytes of free storage.
woohoo! well, go market forces! and yahoo! and google as well!

Definitely good news for my Yahoo account which is always at its mailbox limit. But one wonders if Yahoo's offer may be too little, too late?
