ewan ko pero tingin ko gmail really kicked yahoo , base na lang sa performance. Gmail kasi mabilis unlike yahoo and kung may time kayu try nyo.. and tingnan nyo ung difference.

dati i have yahoo mail and i used to it, pero ngayun kaya may yahoo lang ako kasi for yahoo messenger.

gmail is king!!!
yahoo mail is dead!!!

Although yahoo has a lot more users they also have a lot more dsat users

While

gmail has more more vsat users

Why?

in the old days if you don’t use your yahooo mail within a month your yahoo mail closes down…
that’s the biggest thing for me – because I don’t get to open my email regularly…

GMAIL doesn’t have that kind of a problem

Looking at those numbers, Gmail can match Yahoo Mail’s user base in five years or so. Let’s talk about users instead of unique visitors here. If we take a chunk out of each email service’s growth rate as new signups (against old users checking emails), Yahoo! is clearly losing ground. Out of its 8% growth, how much of it was caused by new signups? While Gmail enjoys a higher growth of 30%, I assume that most of it came from new signups because not everyone has it yet.

Yahoo Mail pros (beta version):
> Integrated Yahoo Messenger, no need to install Yahoo messenger app
> Free texting to Globe/Smart subscribers

cons:
> spam mails A LOT!
> spam chats abound, oh yes.

Gmail pros:
> Can integrate AIM contacts on AOL instant messenger
> can integrate up to 7 email addresses
> great spam protection
> less cluttered interface
> can chat with other gmail users on your contact list w/ no need for 3rd party app

Cons:
> I just wish I can create folders to store some of my emails (maybe it has this capability and I haven’t just discovered it yet

I both have a yahoo and gmail account but if they’d make me choose what to keep, I’ll say…. GMAIL.
Happy New Year to all!

Not really sure if GMail will ever overtake Yahoo Mail. Gmail’s interface/structure is just too different from the standard folder structure that casual users are familiar with. What I’d like to know if when will Yahoo mail ever allow POP mail for free…

@slv3rblade I think a plugin similar to GSpace might be grounds for suspension of your Yahoo account. I do think it’s in their TOS that you can’t use Yahoo Mail as a storage bin…

Y!Mail’s unlimited storage is too tempting. I just wish we get something similar to the Gmail Drive application on it.

Gmail still has a lot to learn, like integration. Especially for Gmail Apps users. Still, it’s Gmail for me till the end.
