Is this really 'leapfrogging' reliable services that offer 2+gigs for space? I don't know about other people's email usages, but gmail has a ceiling I will not be sneaking up on anytime soon. I guess it is nice to know that you do have unlimited space, but I don't think this announcement is nearly as cool as gmail's 1 gig.

How can they detect abuse without violating your privacy?

Probably based on usage patterns.

Seems like such a "me too" move at this point. They should be trying to offer something uniquely great that Google hasn't thought of.

I absolutely loathe Y! Mail's new interface. It's suppose to resemble Outlook and Oddpost (Y! acquired them) folks have spent a lot of time copying it. Problem is that Outlook's UI is not that great to begin with. All that clicking and dragging and split-pane views are so damn annoying and slow.

Gmail has Y! Mail beat even with this storage system.

I also don't trust Y! as much as I trust Google... that China incident just turned me off Y!.

PR move, just like "unlimited internet". The architecture doesn't support unlimited anything, but like everyone else I have, what, 100MB in there, tops? So declare victory and go home. Doesn't cost them a thing except some config work by the Mail team.
