Yahoo introduced yet another storage upgrade to its e-mail service, this time to 250MB, up from a boost to 100MB in June. Yahoo and Microsoft's Hotmail have made such moves following Google's entry into the free e-mail business with Gmail, which launched in beta form with 1GB of free in-box storage.
Until that point, Yahoo and Hotmail offered 4MB and 2MB of free storage, respectively, and charged fees for people requesting extra space.
In addition, Yahoo said Monday it will increase the attachment limit for its premium subscribers to 20MB, while free e-mail users will get 10MB.
