Yahoo Webmail & Mobile Mail Solutions...

Yahoo seems to go totally unnoticed in most circles and especially here. I have an active gmail account and an active Yahoo Mail Plus account and have for 4+ years. I think that the Yahoo Webmail interface blows away just about everything I've seen for web based mail and was wondering a few things. 1. Am I the only one who thinks Yahoo Webmail is great? 2. If you think there's a better interface who has it? 3. If you think there's a better service (notice I'm not saying interface but mail service) who has it? 4. Are you willing to pay for a premium web based mail service and if so which one would you choose? I think as time goes on the plethora of choices we have is going to continue to refine and evolve. I thought I'd see what some of the other choices out there are and solicit your comments on them as well. So far I'm very happy with Yahoo Mail Plus. It's a good service and for $29 a year it's hard to say no to for me.

Yeap, I use Yahoo mail plus as well and very much like the interface. I signed up for the beta on this new one a while back and it was pretty terrible in the beginning.

I hear you! The first beta stunk bad. I think I waited about 6 months then tried again. Liked it ever since. My only gripe is that with 25,000 messages I'd like to see it handle that with a little more pep. It seems every few months or so the perceived "pep" gets better.

I've never used it. Gmail was first to market with a really freaking huge inbox and sold me for that feature alone. Even my mailing list archiver isn't much past 50% on the quota after 2+ years so I've no need to switch for that. My normal mail reading is done with a stand alone app so the web UI is of only secondary importance.
Otherwise [Microsoft is] toast in the long term no matter how much money they've got. They would be already if the Linux community didn't have it's head so firmly up it's own command line buffer that it looks like taking 15 years to find the desktop. -- Matthew Faithfull

1 - probably 2 - I dunno, it may be great, I just don't trust yahoo 4 - that option exists ? I hate how gmail won't let me send an exe, even in a zip. I've asked them if I paid them would they let me, and they said no.

This is the worst "feature" of Gmail. You can change the extension, but this way you violate the license agreement (anybody cares?). I use 7-zip[^] instead - I don't violate the agreement (Google still doesn't recognize the extension) and I get better compression rate (LZMA) at the same time. I use 7-zip on all machines.

Out of GMail, Hotmail and Yahoo, Yahoo looks the prettiest (though I haven't yet received the new GMail UI). However, all in all I prefer GMail. The POP3 access for my various ISPs and integration with my desktop mail client is the clincher. I gather you can do this for Yahoo too but not for free. I do however, hold all three web mail accounts. Hotmail and Yahoo I use largely as IDs to their other services. I use my Yahoo ID for posting to Yahoo groups as well. Google is becoming a bit like Microsoft in that they have a compelling integration story to tell even while their individual applications may not be best in their class.

You can send and receive mail from other mailboxes through your Gmail account. Moreover, you can sign up for Google Apps For Your Domain (basic account is free of charge) to use Google services with your own domain. Mail sent from Gmail looks terrible in Outlook because Microsoft's mail client adds ugly 'On Behalf Of' text and never shows the real sender (it's actually a wrong way for to interpret anti-spam header for Microsoft), this may be annoying. Supposedly with Google Apps the problem is no more, I have yet to try. I can't get back to thick clients. I was a Mozilla Thunderbird user before switching to Gmail. I installed Outlook 2007 last week to give it a try with Gmail IMAP access. I don't like Outlook. I got so accustomed to web mail in Google's edition I just can't use other clients which I find inferior.

I personally think yahoo's is the best interface

It is true that Google's service is pretty good, but I have not had a problem using Yahoo (yes, even with MS Outlook)

No, I would not pay for any service. I have had paid solutions before, and I will not go down that path again. Google does a great job of hosting domains (and if you dont want too much they will do it for free). Microsoft suck at hosting email (about 1 in 3 incomming emails get rejected, even if they are from hotmail). I have used a few other smaller companies, and none of them work as good as Google's (and as I said, Google was free)

I have had a yahoo pluss account for many years and I plan to drop it before my next renewal because I consider gmail significantly better than yahoo. Yahoo is significantly slower than gmail and I find it very cumbersome when you have thousands of emails.

1. I don't know. I does mail. (Yes, I have a yahoo account too, more active than gmail) 2. *shrug* I don't go there for the interface, but for mail, and yahoo does it. 3. The Yahoo spam filter works much better than gmail. gmail takes ages to pick up on new spam 4. free yahoo does what I want from it.

Not for me. I really don't see the yahoo spam filtering working very well at all. Although I get over 1000 spam emails a day week on my yahoo account and only about 30 a day on my gmail account. With gmail I may get 1 spam spam message that is missed by the filters [edit]per day[/edit] while on yahoo its over 100 [edit]for the week[/edit]. I guess that is one reason why I will get rid of that yahoo account...

I have not seen Yahoo Mail Plus. I know that Yahoo bought Zimbra. Are they using Zimbra code for their web interface? Interestingly, Embarq appears to use Zimbra for their Web Mail.

Yahoo classic interface was good. But nowadays Yahoo interface is deteriorating. It is slow and clumsy.

1. I think Yahoo mail is very good. 2. Which interface? Old or New? Old is standard, but solid. New is nice but flaky. I went back to the old version. 4. Right now, No.
