Ang korny! That's it?

Yahoo! Mail Plus offers 2GB for only $19.99. In addition, you can receive messages as large as 20MB each (.Mac is up to 10MB). It also has mail alert (via Yahoo! Messenger or SMS), POP and mail forwarding.

If you read the details of .Mac, it's 125MB for mail and 125MB for iDisk. Sure, 125MB may be a lot for e-mail. but 125MB for storage isn't.

But then again, .Mac has iDisk. And an @mac.com is so much more elegant and prestigious than @yahoo.com. IOW, I'm not giving up my .Mac account.

But still, Apple should offer more.

and with google's GMail offering 1GB of storage space for free, I was expecting 500MB or so.
