I hope their business will continue. I have been using my daily Yahoo! Mail account since 1997, and unlike my Gmail account which keeps complaining that I have almost used up the 15GB storage limit, my Yahoo! Mail account keeps quiet and works as usual thanks to its 1TB storage limit!

After you reach 15GB will you stop receiving new email or will your old mail just get deleted FIFO?

You will stop receiving email, IIRC.

This is correct, I pay something like $2/mo for I think 100GB of Google storage, and when my card expired I got frantic notifications from Google that I would not be receiving any email until I updated the card information.

I work on Yahoo Mail for the web and appreciate your comment! Our team is currently hiring for several engineering roles and we’re investing a lot into the product this year.

I have been a Yahoo mail user since 1997. I like it better than gmail. Both the mobile experience and browser experience is better than gmail

Every Yahoo Mail account I've seen needs 60x the storage given the amount of spam you receive vis-a-vis Gmail.
