Before going on the trip, I cleaned out my inbox as much as possible, lest it get full and messages start bouncing. In the end, during the trip it never went above 40% of its capacity.

Then on Tuesday morning, I logged in first thing in the morning, as usual, and found out that for no other reason than just providing good service, Yahoo! had increased my mail capacity from 6 MB to… not 10 or 20 MB, but 100MB! I’m truly impressed.

I don’t understand how Hotmail can just go on not reacting. The basic service with Yahoo! provides 100MB of storage and allows you to send files of up to 10MB. The same level of service with Hotmail costs 79.99$ a year! Comparatively, Yahoo!’s premium service costs 19.99$ a year and gives you… 2 GB of storage.

I’m amazed with Yahoo!’s great service, it has to be said. I just don’t understand what is up with Hotmail.
