Limits	per-object-cap per-object-cap 41,697,280 bytes (39.77 MiB source 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`.
Binding	per-object-cap the per-object cap sets the shard size and therefore the object count; it bounds the total more tightly than any headline quota
Interface	rest 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.
Composes with	20 GB × N accounts — under the 500 GB bar per unit, so only interesting if account creation is trivially automatable, which the 2026 regional cuts suggest it is not.
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.
