    Whoopie!!!

    Just logged into my Yahoo! mail to find they've given it an overhaul & I now have 2 gig free storage!!!

    I'm subscribing to Yahoo! Plus ($25 per year), so I don't know if you get it with the free mail, but it ain't half bad.

    Yahoo! seems pretty fecked up at the moment - everybody must be testing out their 100MB.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,353 ✭✭✭radiospan


    My Yahoo account still says "30% of 6.0".

    Do I have to activate this new storage space?

    Did ye get an email about it? I haven't yet,


  • Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 10,247 Mod ✭✭✭✭flogen


    you should get an e-mail plattz, its automatic, id say theyre only updating accounts now, so give it afew hours.

    as for tman and giblet, leave it with me :D

    I got 6 invites last week, and used them all (3 for each account, i have two). got another 6 this week and have offered a few other mates an invite, if they say no (and some might do, theyre probably happy with their usual addy and have no need for 1gb), i'll PM you.... tman first, he did get there before you!

    Hello xxxxx,

    You are currently exceeding your Yahoo! Mail storage quota by a very large amount. You are only allowed -2048.0MB of storage but you are currently using 0.8MB of storage. Your account has been temporarily disabled from receiving new messages.

    The easiest way to continue receiving your important email is to expand your mailbox. Yahoo! Mail offers 10, 25, 50 and 100MB of storage space starting at just $9.99/year. Click here now to order Extra Storage.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 322 ✭✭Kobie


    Cool! :D
    You are only allowed -2048.0MB

    Does that mean you have to store their crap on your PC?

    I still have a 6 MB limit ... has everyone else been upgraded?

    I have a .co.uk account


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,353 ✭✭✭radiospan


    Yeah, I'm on .co.uk too, and no upgrade yet.

    I'll give it a few days, and I'll email them then if no change.

    My friend has a .co.uk account, and he's been upgraded to 100MB. I'm still on 6MB too.


  • Moderators, Entertainment Moderators Posts: 18,004 Mod ✭✭✭✭ixoy


    I'm also on 6MB - what's with that? Loyal customer for years... Pffft! I'm a .co.uk account holder too.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,070 ✭✭✭hedgetrimmer


    They had a new splash page moments ago and my .co.uk account has not increased to 100MB

    YAY!:D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,353 ✭✭✭radiospan


    Went to check email this morning, and a message came up explaning the upgrades.

    So I'm on 100MB now, I'd say they're just doing it gradually.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 131 ✭✭mudflapgirl


    yeah my .ie account was upgraded this morning - hate the new background, can't change it for some reason, now i have more room for spam to get through :rolleyes:

    just as well i don't use it that much ;)

    Yay! I'm upgraded now. Not that I had more than 2MB ever in there anyway but that's hardly the point...

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 660 ✭✭✭naitkris


    i have a yahoo.se address and it's still at 6MB while everyone else i know (yahoo.ie, yahoo.com users) get 100MB :(

    however i just got a nice new gmail.com address with 1000MB instead so that'll do nicely :D

    Don't go near spymac, they suck ass apart from the 100mb free storage (or 75mb?).
