- url https://mail.yahoo.com
- free tier: Yahoo's own help, read live: "Yahoo Mail incluye actualmente 20 GB de almacenamiento gratuito con cada cuenta" = 20 GB free per account. Plans: 100 GB, 1 TB; Mail Plus is 200 GB. The old 1 TB free tier is gone. | unit: GB | metered on: unstated | read on: 2026-10-21 | source: [1]

- limits:
  - per-object-cap (binding): per-object-cap **41,697,280 bytes (39.77 MiB [1]
- limits note: per-object-cap 41,697,280 bytes (39.77 MiB) advertised as `APPENDLIMIT` — the cleanest, most honest per-message cap of any provider here because it is protocol-advertised rather than buried in docs. SMTP agrees: `250-SIZE 41697280`.
- interface detail: rest
- tooling: IMAP probe-verified: `imap.mail.yahoo.com:993` -> `* OK Welcome! IMAP Server up and ready` / `* CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 ... APPENDLIMIT=41697280`. That APPENDLIMIT is a live, machine-readable per-message byte cap.
- reliability: Quota was cut 1 TB -> 20 GB (Aug 2025) and again to 15 GB for UK/EU from 2026-05 — a provider actively shrinking, which makes it a poor archive target structurally.
