Sweet.

But what about GMail and its 1GB of storage? Admittedly, I've not even been close to using half of my old 6MB Yahoo! Mail quota, so does size really matter?

Well, if I could get the same username on either service, and if both services were equally functional and their domain names conveniently memorable, I'd just take both. Just to be on the safe side.

Photo emails are here to stay! :)
