Yahoo has unlimited email storage

Looks like Yahoo just announced unlim­ited email stor­age. Some­what sur­pris­ing actu­ally, they have a lot more users than gmail, so it’s not like it won’t actu­ally cost them some. I’m sure google won’t be happy, this some­what tar­nishes their image of being the tech­no­log­i­cally more com­pe­tent com­pany, but I don’t know if it really means any­thing for actual users. I’m sure there are some peo­ple that use a lot of the email quota, but I think I am a fairly nor­mal user of email, and I don’t delete any­thing from any real per­son or com­pany (I only delete spam, and wikipedia mail­ing lists, which are archived else­where) and I am sit­ting at 5% usage on gmail.

Per­son­ally, I’m more inter­ested in func­tion­al­ity and fea­tures than stor­age. I’m not really look­ing to emu­late a desk­top expe­ri­ence, and I would be absolutely lost in mail­ing lists with­out the gmail thread­ing fea­ture. I wouldn’t mind them launch­ing their fabled stor­age solu­tion though…
