Memberwow….intersting….but why only Yahoo China?

MemberInteresting… I just logged in CN.Yahoo.com, I couldn’t get to the Chinese site, only the America site with 100-MB.
After reading the Yahoo-Chinese’s privacy section, I’d not bother signing up with the services.

Memberwell I signed up for a yahoo.com.cn account. I still have a 100 MB account.
here is a link of a posting from another site about yahoo china’s 1 GB email.
http://www.cre8asiteforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=13026
am still adding some buddies to this account to make it 1 GB 😀
i dont understand a word of chineese. so the first thing I did was to goto options>account info>member info and change the language to english-united states(eng-US is the first option). navigating thro the options menu and things like that…u know where they typically are…
well post in..if you were successfully been able to make the account 1GB.

MemberYahoo’s Chinese site is a major headache!
Well, I was able to sign up for the Chinese account, I got 100-MB storage. But after five to ten minutes, I got 1-GB (1000-MB) storage after I added three people on my buddylist.

Memberbooochodu – thanks! This was something I thought was not possible. Now I can read something I can understand. 🙂
I realize if one tries to sign up for Yahoo.com.cn, they’d have to click on the flashing yellow/golden button where it says GB1 in the E-mail section to get the GB1 account.

MemberI wouldnt bother with it as I have gmail.

Memberyeah I too added a buddy and got my 1GB. btw to simplify your signup process start off with a yahoo.com signup and specify the language and content to be chineese-mainland.

Memberhey im trying to use the POP/SMTP interface in this Yahoo China account. POP server works fine. SMTP doesnt work.
any suggestions what to do other than using my ISP’s smtp??

ParticipantSome ISP’s won’t allow you to send through any SMTP’s other than their own. I know my ISP blocks every SMTP except their own from sending mail.

Even I have gmail account .. but still gmail is too buggy with attachments … Gmail account is uselessAt this point I agree with you. What I don’t understand is why people go out of their way to get the 1 gig. I mean, 100 megs is more than enough.. is it the “I have a gig.. nany nany boo boo attitude” people wanna give their friends? Can someone enlighten me?

MemberQuote:quote:What I don’t understand is why people go out of their way to get the 1 gig. I mean, 100 megs is more than enough.. is it the “I have a gig.. nany nany boo boo attitude”Perfectly right!!..you could perhaps add a line “I have a Gmail too..!!”attitude.
one more thing..getting the “my kind of screen-name” in a popular domain like gmail, yahoo blah blah..not many wud like to have an id thats like…abc_xyz_1263349843@gmail.com
no offence inteded by this post..just quoting a general psychology(me included 🙂 )

MemberFaizan invited me to gmail so I took it, I dont give the showing off attitude whatsoever lol. But I do agree that 1 gig is more than enough.
