Apple has increased the combined storage for .Mac Mail and iDisk to 250 MB. That means .Mac members now have additional room for email messages and mail attachments, web pages, and backups. .Mac members now also have the option of upgrading your .Mac account to 1 GB for US$49.95 per year.
.Mac Mail now comes with a default 125 MB of email storage so .Mac members can keep more messages available for online access. .Mac members can also configure their individual account’s 250 MB of combined storage to best fit the way they use your .Mac account. Maximum message size has been upped to a hefty 10 MB, giving .Mac Mail the power to handle attachments such as hi-res images and large project files.
.Mac memebers can log into .Mac, click their Account Settings, and click the “Storage Settings” button and choose from among the following choices in the “Storage Settings” drop down menu:

MacDailyNews Take: Most of us here at MDN have been bumping up against the 100MB limit for some time now, with some of us actually contemplating dumping the .Mac service due to storage concerns. With that no longer an issue, we’re all happy .Mac campers again! And $49 for 1GB is very reasonable for future expansion of our .Mac usage. Good move, Apple!
