anyone know that the extra mail storage costs? i've been using a tril account and one of the things i would want is extra storage but can't find the pricing anywhere. currently use yahoo mail plus where 25mb is $30 a year. so far yahoo's mail manager is far superior to .mac's and i'd like to know the pricing of at least a 25mb email storage on .mac.
thanks.

All I will say is that you haven't looked very hard. The information is freely available on the .Mac website. If you log into your mail account, then click on Preferences, you'll see the option to "Buy More" storage to the right of the screen. Just follow the steps after that to access the information you require.

1st guy, actually, if you have a trial account the information is NOT readily available on the web, you're only option is to purchase a full account and nowhere does it tell you how much extra storage is. that purchase full account is replaced with purchase extra storage after you have purchased the account.

2nd guy, thanks for posting the prices!

after looking this over, i think i'll stick with yahoo based on this:

i have a domain and 500 mb for $95 a year, don't need the 100mb storage of .mac

nowhere can you tell what address to show on replies and new mail in .mac, in yahoo mail plus i can show me@me.com when i send replies or compose mail.

so for domain/yahoo mail plus i pay $125 for 25mb email storage and 30mb file storage (yahoo) and 500 mb file storage (domain).

with .mac i would pay $109 for 25mb of email and 100mb storage and no ability to customize my from messages that i can tell (if i'm wrong please let me know, i'm currently using a trial account).
thanks again.
