For free email, Gmail currently has the highest capacity at 2.7GB, while Yahoo has 1.0GB. However, for me both really have more capacity than I need, and so I am looking more at features - Gmail is great, but the new Yahoo mail beta blows it away.

Yahoo wins hands down... they got more than just mail, they offer more storage, and definitely, they r more secure (hotmail is microsoft's)

Have a look to a comparison in ConsumerSearch "Web Email Reviews":\n\nhttp://www.consumersearch.com/www/internet/web-email-reviews/reviews.html\n\n"Experts say Gmail is easily the best Web e-mail service, beating both MSN Hotmail and Yahoo in reviews. Gmail gets the most press for its 2GB of storage space, but Gmail also gets kudos for its intuitive organization features; users can assign labels to individual e-mails for sorting, and ongoing reply e-mails organize in blog-like fashion. You can access Gmail through a desktop e-mail client (such as Outlook Express), and Gmail gives infrequent users a lot of latitude, only canceling an account after nine months of inactivity. The main concern with Gmail is that it scans each incoming message for keywords, displaying text ads relevant to those keywords. Still, experts say the ads are unobtrusive, especially compared to Hotmail and Yahoo."\nhttp://www.consumersearch.com/www/internet/web-email-reviews/index.html

It's because your email has alot of activity. It's a security thing. Sometimes it's just checking your capabilities or trying to minimize spam. who knows? Have you asked Yahoo?

Storing text for free, more for pay?\nWas it hotmail? You may want to go to http://hotmail.com and set up your e-mail account. It is free. It has address storage, spam filter, e-mail address book etc. You can access or send your e-mail from any computer and extend your storage for a fee. It is a great idea!\n\nHope it's it.\nCordially, India.Magica

I know right!\n\nI love GMAIL! You can set it up on outlook, but yahoo makes you pay for it. They are so user friendly and they give you so much space! ALL free!\n\nLife would be clueless and expensive without and Gmail.

It is hard to answer this question. what are you using to check your email? are you using outlook? do you have your yahoo forwarded to hotmail or the other way around. anyway around it somewhere in your account setup it is set to put your hotmail account as the return address.

The Hotmail-Yahoo comparison is somewhat fair. Hotmail existed before Microsoft owned it. It was fast, had a large capacity and many features- for it's time. Microsoft picked it up and hasn't done as much to develop it as Yahoo.\n\nThe Windows-Mac analogy is unfair and more explainable. You see:\n\nA) Windows PC's can be made by anyone. Competition brings better prices, which consumers like.\nB) Windows, with more or less general stability, runs on many different hardware setups.\nC) Windows has been around longer than Mac OS, and has had more time for support, developers, and entry into the marketplace.\n\nWindows can run so much software, so many programs, hardware etc. that the comparison is unfair to the Mac platform. \n\nHope this helps!

Yahoo! Mail attachments are limited at 20 MB.\n\nAlso, most people's mailboxes aren't big enough to accept a 400 MB file. Most mailboxes are only 10MB or so. Many e-mail servers will also reject attachments of that size, to prevent being clogged.\n\nFinally, the chances a file of that size both being fully transmitted via MIME without corruption, and not totally overwhelm the POP3 server at the other end (or the SMTP server on your end) is about zero.\n\nInstead, you should look to upload your file to a place like http://www.megaupload.com That site will store your file (up to 500MB) and give you a simple link to it. Then, e-mail that link to the people you want to have download it.\n\nAlternatively, if you have a Web site, upload the file there and e-mail people the link to your file.

Lately, google has been " buying up" all the free space on the internet( fiberoptics).They have basically unlimited resources to give out, so you can have a bigger gmail account.

There are typically 2 reasons.  \nThe emails are too big with attachments. Each email system has limits to the size of a single email.\nOtherwise, the home email has a spam filter that thinks that the job email is spam, so it is hiding it from you.  If you use Yahoo mail for home, check the Junk mail box.  Most email systems (Outlook too) will have such a box, and will allow you to identify a possible-spam email as a safe email, and remember this for future emails from your job email.\nFor more help, you need to explain what kind of email system you are using at both ends (i.e. web based, yahoo, gmail, outlook exchange, etc)

You'll probably need to compress it. Or if you are actually one of the ones who pay for email service, you can add storage to your memory. Try using the compress files on your start screen. Read your computers help me guide first, I would recommend.

Check javascript settings in your browser.\nDesirably, it should be activated.\nStill it can work without javascript, just accurately follow help tips and urls in your yahoo webmail context.\nNobody of us have such troubles!\nDo you use some exotic browser?\n\nWinXP, Linux OSes works for me\nFirefox 1.5, IE5, Konqueror and Opera works for me\n\nhotmail sucks, because it does not have 1Gb for my mail

I prefer Gmail because I have 2681MB (and growning) of email space. I can also instal Gmail Notifier that lets me know when I've got new emails. Google will continue to add many new features down the road.
