lajs · 18-07-2004, 04:57 PM

Yahoo. com has announced that it provides 100 mb mail box
i already have an account in yahoo.co.in, is there any possibility to change it yahoo.com account ..so that mailbox ....is big

Ethan_Hunt · 18-07-2004, 05:40 PM

well i suppose all the yahoo mail services have got auto upgraded which means that ur existing yahoo or yahoo.co.in account has been upgraded to 250MB itself.well that happened in my case atleast but if not u can create a yahoo a/c separately if you want to,to enjoy the additional services offered by yahoo for the mailbox.

lajs · 18-07-2004, 05:56 PM

register urself at spymac.com they provide 1gb of email account

Nemesis · 18-07-2004, 07:09 PM

if u need more space, use rediff-they give 1GB. spymac is not that good although it does give 1GB.

click on options and account information , then edit the language & content setting to English - United states.

Log out and clear all cookies. Log back into ur account and voila u will have a bigger mail account.

lajs · 18-07-2004, 11:57 PM

blade_runner... i can see only mail options in my inbox..
when i clicked it and checked my account information .....but there i could not see any language and content setting ..!

why is this so?????

sailendra · 19-07-2004, 12:32 AM

@lajs
You are right, there seem to be no way of changing the language / content once you signed up for a yahoo account. I created a new account for myself at yahoo with the Language / Content set to the default of United States. This gave me the 100 MB storage. I also created another account , this time with the Language / Content set to India. Guess what this new account gives only 6MB storage!

Ethan_Hunt · 19-07-2004, 12:14 PM

hey yup bud thats right sorry about the 250MB info thats wrong it is indeed 100MB but in my case it had been autoupgraded and yeah nemsis i do have a rediffmail a/c and its currently the best and fastest and is recommended to all users until google doesnt spill the beans.

techno_funky · 19-07-2004, 04:25 PM

hey use this trick hold one end of the account and tell dad to hold the other end and pull it towards each otehr VOILA A NEW BIG EMAIL BOX

lajs · 19-07-2004, 04:52 PM

hey if any one wants their mails addressed to yahoo inbox to be forwarded (to their rediff or any other gmail,spymac... email accounts ..)
they can do that by checking --yahoo delivers! option in yahoo

mira000111 · 19-07-2004, 06:02 PM

Are you sure that u cant change the language and content to English USA. Cause i can change it.......

sailendra · 19-07-2004, 11:33 PM

@blade_runner
well, there is certainly no such option once you are signed up and selected your country as India. Where exactly is this option in your case?

And i have a co.in account. Once u change these settings u immediately get a 100 Mb account instead of the 6 Mb one. Try it.

never_trust_any_stranger · 20-07-2004, 12:29 AM

Hey use rediffmail.
In Yahoo.co.in there is only 6 mb space.
but 100 mb in yahoo.com

sailendra · 20-07-2004, 01:08 AM

Well, well, mine doesnt show any such option

blade_runner · 20-07-2004, 11:08 AM

That weird! cuz after Email information it shud display General Preferences which lists the language & content settings which can be changed. Can any1 else verify this. Sailendra u have posted only half a screenshot? the tab below the scrshot u posted is more important.

sailendra · 20-07-2004, 03:26 PM

Here's the second part of the screen shot:

blade_runner · 20-07-2004, 07:42 PM

Whoa ! No idea why urs isnt showing up ? Can nebody else also confirm this ............ wonder why there is a space between general preferences and time zone, seems like something is missing !!

sailendra · 20-07-2004, 10:19 PM

@blade_runner
I too am confused about this. Like i said earlier, I checked the account options for another account i signed up using English -United States as the Language and Content Preference. It however, has the option to switch the Language & Content preference. I haven't tried switching to India though - for fear of being downgraded to 6MB.

lajs · 20-07-2004, 11:23 PM

@blade runner...
i went throu. yahoo help reg. upgradation of my mail box...

blade_runner · 21-07-2004, 12:03 AM

Well bad luck guys !! u will have to wait then ........

sailendra · 31-07-2004, 05:12 AM

excellent! It really works. Thanks a lot alib_i. My mailbox is almost full and was looking which mails to delete. Now I dont need to bother for a While

siddhesh · 31-07-2004, 10:38 AM

Hey guys,

I finally found out how to change the Language & Content if you can't see it in your Account Information. . .

1) Go here -> http://edit.yahoo.com/config/set_intl

2) Sign in using your Yahoo! ID & Pass

3) Set 'Language & Content' to 'English US'

4) You are done! Your mailbox is now upgraded to 100 MB!

Trust me - it is no fake url designed to lure you into giving out your ID & Pass!
