Yahoo took its turn this week at raising its level of e-mail storage space, announcing that paying customers would get 2 GB of storage — double what Google’s beta Gmail service provides. Users of Yahoo’s free e-mail service will also get a boost — up to a whopping 100 MB of free storage. The move to the 2-GB limit follows Google’s announcement of Gmail — which integrates the popular search engine with a Web-based e-mail service capped at 1 GB — and a surprise move by rival Lycos to boost its own e-mail storage limit to 1 GB.
