These two mail service provider is compete each other. Eventhough yahoomail is older than gmail and its credibility is undoubtably good, i prefer gmail. Because of its simplicity. What is your email provider? what good for you?

Yahoo better in style, more catchy, but yahoo more error prone in my browser. I prefer gmail classic, because it's very fast to load, I can categorized my mail with label, and filter it to meet what I need. I had lot's of spam in my mail, hundreds everyday, so this filter feature help me so much. Gmail has pop3 and smtp forwarding too, and it's free.

How about yahoo mail. It is the oldest mail service provider but it doesn't have pop3 and smtp feature. Did you say so?

As i know only yahoo singapore and UK that provide free pop3 forwarding. That's way I use yahoo singapore for my yahoo mail. But they still didn't provide any IMAP for free, not as gmail.

okay, i appreciate it. eventhough for chatting i usually use Yahoo messenger but for mailing activity i use gmail. It's simple and faster. But both has their own plus and minus.

I really don't know which one is better. i have my yahoo mail and gmail and I used both everyday for different online jobs. I believe it is safe unless you have a firewall screener on your computer. Both are good for me and provide me quality service.

i never use firewall. I just install antivirus software and maybe there is firewall feature inside. But it is not my issue.

I use both regularly. neither is perfect for my uses, but i still predominantly use yahoo classic. I like gmail's conversation linkage, but i don;t like the font, lack of staionary, and some other aspects of gmail. I like yahoo! mails speed, graphics, stationary, fonts, colors. etc. I prefer Gmail's labels......

same with me, if i log into yahoo, i prefer yahoo classic layout. It is simpler and faster. Did gmail have lack of fonts tipe?? i never change any font when i write an email to someone. I write it plainly. So Yahoo has more overplus than gmail? i see.

In Yahoo Mail, if we like a message sent to us, or if it is really important, we can create a new folder and move the message to that folder. I am also using gmail and I wonder how I can do the same with gmail? Any tips?
