and Yahoo goes further..

Thanks again Yahoo!
A day after Yahoo announced that they will be offering unlimited storage for it's e-mail users, they've announced that they are opening up the Yahoo mail API - to let developers write programs that interact with Yahoo mail ( http://www.pcworld.com/article/id,130243-pg,1/article.html).  To top that, they say they will give $10 US to the developer for every new Yahoo mail account created as a result of the developer's tool interaction with Yahoo!
Wish I had time to write the backup software I mentioned below....

Infinite Yahoo E-Mail Capacity!

Well, it's finally happened.  Computer storage capacity is now as cheap and prevalent as water - so Yahoo is giving it away. (http://blogs.pcworld.com/techlog/archives/003943.html ).  Yes, you will soon have unlimited capacity on Yahoo servers to store all your e-mail, photos, spam and more!
So, how long will it take before someone creates a utility that backs up my computer to my Yahoo mail storage?  A utility already exists for Google's e-mail, GMail.  The utility is called GSpace ( http://www.getgspace.com/) and works pretty well, though it isn't currently automated.  I can't wait for YSpace - Automated - so I never have to think about backing up again.
Thanks Yahoo!
