Hi Kumar,
The concept goes like this. It is called as Virtual Memory.
It is not like 1GB of space is allocated to you. The memory is given as and when you use it. There is another thing that has to be considered like it is not possible for everyone o consume the 1GB allocated to them....
it is more like space is shared between all the users.....if a person deletes his/her acccount that space is free and adds to the virtual memory.....
This is done in a belief that not all users at a time can consume the whole space.....
Mail me if you need more help on this topic....

It is competition that has forced Yahoo to give this kind of memory (space) for email. Further the space is required on server and with passage of time, the servers have become cheap and hence the facility. Moreover, giving more space has resulted in retaining more clients and thereby more ads income.
