According to Reuters financial report, Yahoo said on Tuesday that it will provide unlimited email services for May this year of its users (25% people) starting from January 1, 0.25 billion, however, Yahoo China and Japanese websites are not listed as "Resizing.
Yahoo, the world's largest email service provider, said the move was intended to meet users' needs to transfer large-sized attachments such as photos, music, and videos.
Currently, free email storage space released by Yahoo, Microsoft, and Google is 1 GB, 2 GB, and 2.8 GB respectively.
In an interview with foreign media, David Filo, the co-founder of Yahoo!, said: "In the future, users will not have to delete old emails. It will take long to save them ." He also said, "Email should be used to record a person's life ." Mr. Fei, who shared the title of Chief Yahoo with Yang Zhiyuan, is still actively managing the company's technical operations.
Yahoo executives also said that the removal of mailbox space restrictions reflects the decline in storage hardware prices. Currently, the new PC can store up to 1 trillion bytes of data, while the Apple 80 GB iPod music player can store 100 hours of video files. This was almost unimaginable several years ago. Yahoo launched the email service for the first time about 10 years ago. At that time, each user's storage space was only 4 MB. However, this was not a small amount of capacity at that time, because the most widely used high-density floppy disk storage is only 1.4 MB.
John Kremer, vice president of Yahoo Mail, said that the mailbox switching will start in May and may last for a month. "We have carefully monitored the average user usage, the average storage capacity of users' mailboxes is less than 1 GB. "More and more users are sending images and other multimedia files via emails ".
James also revealed that Yahoo China and Japanese websites will not be listed in this "Resizing. Yahoo and Softbank jointly operate Yahoo Japan and Alibaba jointly operate Yahoo China. Yahoo holds a minority stake in both joint ventures.
