AP , SEATTLE

Microsoft Corp's Hotmail will become the latest Web-based e-mail service to increase the amount of storage space available for its free accounts, following similar moves by rivals.

Beginning later this summer, the company plans to increase the amount of storage for its free Hotmail account inboxes to 250 megabytes, up from two megabytes. Users also will be able to send larger attachments, up to 10 megabytes.

The Hotmail changes announced on Wednesday follow Google Inc's plans for its Gmail service, with 1,000 megabytes of free storage. The leading competitor in the Web e-mail field, Yahoo Inc, recently upgraded its free mail accounts to 100 megabytes of storage.
