Yahoo Mail has the following features:
- Free: 250 MB quota, 10 MB attachments, plus basic protection against spam and viruses. Before the change, these accounts had a quota between 4 and 6 megabytes in size. The mail account can only be accessed through a web browser, and advertising is displayed on the screen while working with the email account.
- Plus: 2 GB (or 2000 MB) quota. The Plus service offers POP3 access - meaning that the email account can be accessed through email clients (Outlook, Eudora, etc) that work with the POP3 protocol. When working with the account over a web browser, no ads are displayed. This type of account has additional spam and virus protection.
- Additionally, a user can pay a nominal fee to have a custom e-mail address and domain name.
