As many e-mail service providers expand their email storage space, Microsoft MSN is about to expand its email storage space to cope with the competition. This plan is expected to be implemented in July.
Although it is still in the testing stage, The Gmail mailbox service launched by Google with a capacity of 1 GB has stirred up the challenge of large-capacity free mailbox storage. Yahoo! This week, the free mailbox user capacity was increased to 100 MB.
The vice president of Microsoft's MSN Communications Department, blke Irving, said to its employees, "We have been watching this change during this time. Pay attention to Yahoo's reaction. Before launching our plan, we need to check whether Yahoo is sufficient to maintain the large-capacity mailbox service."
Microsoft hopes to give users enough space to shift the media focus from Gmail's capacity as a key selling point and reduce the threat from Gmail.
Irving said, "We will make a large response to solve the problem of the email storage space encountered by users ."
MSN is not only under pressure from competitors in E-mail, but Microsoft is developing and improving its search engine.AlgorithmWe plan to launch MSN newsbot at the end of the year-a service similar to Google News.
