Since they know WHO you are (your Yahoo ID) they will know what's in your email, and how to best use (and maybe sell to marketers) what you care about, what you like, what you dont like. It's possible for Yahoo to sniff your email and provide contextual ads right on your email, Gmail already does this. Storage is cheap, and it's getting cheaper, I still stand by my words that online storage companies will pay consumers to upload data, as it's becoming a feature, or a commodity, it already happened at YouTube from Google. I believe that Yahoo's photo app Flickr has turned up it's storage capacity as well, it may be unlimited. The Outlook issues you have are not due to Microsoft, the company you work for probably has Servers, which are run by Sys Admins in IT departments that determine storage capacity. If Yahoo is providing unlimited data storage, I'm sure your IT department has already looked at it. This is going to help Yahoo provide more targeted ads of course.
