its support POP3 (Yahoo! don't have it in free version) its mean we can used mail client to receive or send email directly from our computer without need to open Browser
I read my mail used Outlook Express, its save much time than open pages by pages like yahoo! do..
Yahoo mail is prob one of the best for free members because you get a huge inbox (1 gb) and it's just very secure and user friendly, never tried gmail.
Gmail is fast, provides huge space which u camn use to store ur files too using some kinda software to do that. But, you need an invitation to open an a/c in gmail, whereas there's no such thing in Yahoo, it has quick sign-up. Yahoo's address book is better than gmail. Gmail provides POP3 access which Yahoo lacks, it means that you can use Outlook Express to check/send ur mails in gmail
Gmail's interface its cleaner(no graphic ads) than Yahoo's.
I'll give yahoo: 7 out out 10.
gmail: 9 out of 10.
I think there both very equal...
I don't really have a favorite one
I use Hotmail and Gmail.
Hotmail for my personal email and Gmail for the emails of the ptr I am in .
Why Hotmail? It's very simple, almost everyone in Belgium uses Hotmail, so I thought to just follow everyone .
