Sounds like the $19.99 2GB is the way to go if you Yahoo. Why spend $59.99 for 100MB. Unless it's a typo.

This is the big renewal time of year. I wrote to them about increasing storage only 2 weeks ago! I will re-up right away now.

I'm more than aware of better pricing, but will stay with .mac this year.

First I have too many business contacts that have the .mac e-mail address and have no plans to change. I also like how smoothly I can back up important files to the iDisk and post pictures of the grandkids for all to see. I also want to avoid the ads from the other services.

,mac is going to continue to improve over time and I do feel safer & more comfortable using it.

.Mac is the jack of all trades. All the services it offers are offered elsewhere, sometimes better elsewhere, but I don't know of anyplace that has them all in one place like .Mac does.

I was stoked to hear about this. I just confirmed its been upped on my account and I was able to successfully re-allocate the storage to 50/200 Mail to iDisk.

and just stopped by to see if you had caught it yet... very cool...

You should have mentioned somewhere about where to find that Storage Settings screen you have a screenshot of, it took me a little digging to find it. I put mine at 30MB mail/220MB iDisk.

The least you could have done is mentioned where you found it, 'cause I'm still digging!

The whole point of IMAP is being able to view/organize your mail on the server. But I've been saving every single piece of email for the past few years, and it already takes up 700MB. So 250MB is both too little (for accessing your mail online exclusively) and too big (for just a temporary inbox until it's moved locally).

Really, I see this more as targeting iDisk users while at the same time appeasing users who actually want a slightly larger inbox. That 15MB quota from before was way too low, but I don't see a user needing more than 50MB-100MB for their inbox if they plan on storing their mail locally.

From what I see on .Mac page it's 125 MBs for e-mail and 125 MBs for iDisk. In any case it an increase I can use

You can change the allocation of the 250MB between mail and iDisk under 'settings' under your account.

Thank you! I just changed my settings. I need more .Mac storage space than I need more stored e-mail

Go to www.mac.com and log in. Along the left side of the web page are the links to all the .Mac services. The very last link is titled Account. Click on it. It may ask you to log in again at this point, if so, then log in again.

Next screen will be two panes, the top one is your billing information, address, etc. The bottom pane contains links for your email and iDisk settings. Click on the link in that pain (below the big green cirlce) that says Storage Settings.

The next screen will show you how much you're using in Mail and iDisk. There will be a drop down box will all the different Mail to iDisk storage settings you can select. Just pick the configuration you want from the list and click on Save. That's it!

Go into mail... preferences... you can now create aliases! That's fricking sweet!
