Mail in Infoworld<\/a>, saying:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>As far as I can tell, I&#8217;ll never need to delete another e-mail message, but if I did run into a limit, it&#8217;d be very easy for me to pull down the messages via the POP interface and store them on a personal hard drive<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I stand by my words.  I haven&#8217;t deleted a message for years, and doubt I ever will again.  I&#8217;m not really sure what that means in terms of access&#8211;I&#8217;d be very interested to look at how many messages older than, say, a year, have been accessed.  It does mean that I no longer need to decide whether or not to spend time filing\/deleting\/organizing mail.<\/p>\n<p>I have been a premium user of Yahoo! mail for quite some time.  I like the &#8216;beta&#8217; JS intensive interface, though before I bought a new computer, it taxed my PC.<\/p>\n<p>Personally, I think the bigger announcement is the <a href=\"http:\/\/developer.yahoo.com\/mail\/\">opening of the Yahoo! mail APIs<\/a>.  Granted, only premium users get the full API, but I can imagine all sorts of neat applications built on that API.  (The standard API doesn&#8217;t look that useful.)  For example, you could build an external program to live out of your Yahoo Mail, <a href=\"http:\/\/ymailupdates.com\/blog\/archives\/26\">like this fellow<\/a>, but with offline capacity, or a simple blogging client where you leverage Yahoo&#8217;s superb rich client interface and platform to generate content, and then push it elsewhere.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Check it out, I&#8217;m quoted in a piece about Yahoo!
