Yahoo China has begun to offer one gigabyte of e-mail storage free of charge, providing the largest-capacity e-mail storage in the country.

Yahoo China says in a statement that the increased storage capacity is open to all Internet users.

The famous portal provides e-mail service to more than 500 million users worldwide.

Starting this year, some other web companies based in China have also enlarged storage for their e-mail boxes, such as Sina and Netease.
