Lycos: We're first with a gigabyte of e-mail

Lycos announced Tuesday that it is upgrading its service in the United Kingdom to give consumers 1GB of e-mail storage. But unlike some rival services being developed, the Lycos service is not free. Users will have to pay a monthly fee of 3.40 pounds ($6.01).

Whatever Dude! Spymac's got ya beat by a good month!!
Spymac Launches The Internet's First Free 1 Gigabyte Email Service
04/05/2004 00:15 | By The Spymac Team
One gigabyte of storage is available to all Spymac Mail accounts, effective today, Monday April 5, 2004.

Spymac
agrees with the staff at Google that a 1 GB e-mail account makes sense. Millions of people rely on easy access to mail and depend on their email service to not indiscriminately delete important mail. Spymac Mail offers several advantages over other free Internet-based email. In addition to the one-gigabyte storage increase, Spymac Mail also offers both POP3 and Webmail access to the email accounts. For those wondering why on earth they would need one gigabyte for POP3 mail, don’t despair; because IMAP mail capabilities are under development and will be available very soon. Spymac Mail does not include keyword scanning for search and has no advertising.

Spymac
welcomes email accounts from users 13 years old and up on any operating system. Sign up for your free account today by clicking here.

Hey Lycos, did ya see that little line that says "Sign up for your free account"... did ya? Spymac was first. And free. So just get off your high horse and stop making a fool of yourself!
