I think it's generally a good thing that companies like Yahoo try to answer Google's Gmail challenge by adding e-mail storage. The stronger the competition, the better for consumers and for the overall industry.
I only feel bad for the smaller companies who have tried to find a niche market by offering online services such as e-mail storage, web space storage or - more general - web hosting. It looks very much like we will have a consolidation among the bigger companies in near future.
