Yahoo! Mail, one of the most popular free webmail providers, was the first to up the stakes, giving a 100 MB of storage per free email account, far greater than the industry standard of between 2 to 6 MB.
Purists could argue that the first blow was delivered when Gmail by Google offered 1 GB, that is, around 1000 MB per free account. However, this is still a beta offering and not open to the public yet.
MSN has been concentrating on improving their search, but have now also replied by upping the storage space in their Hotmail to a 250 MB inbox and 10 MB attachment limit. There is a catch, though, that you must reside only in the U.S. of A. or in certain states in Canada. People residing in foreign countries only get the maximum or 2 MB per email account.
This still leaves other webmail providers like Mail.com out in the snow, offering a miserly 4 MB of storage space per account.
Presently, after having tried out the best, we still find Google’s Gmail email service the best, with the largest email size, and that still makes the difference.
