I am slowly quitting yahoo – I say slowly because I still get a few emails there, even though I’ve already said I am closing that account. I have to keep hotmail because of msn, but definitely my favourite email account is gmail – I don’t know why my sent emails are not really sent on hotmail lately!

In gmail I can upload heavy files quickly, and the page downloads quite easily as well. The only problem with this email is the way emails stick together… I HATE it! I’d rather have my emails sorted by date, sender or subject.

It continually bugged out (and perhaps it was a beta version), and whenever I replied to emails it would take out all the line breaks.

Gmail is awesome – loads quick, easy to archive/sort files, and best of all I can access it from my Treo on the road. It’s simple, and also the chat integrating is great to have.

As a note to nomadicalloy – if you want to access gmail from work, chances are you want to use https://www.gmail.com. It’s probably a good idea in general, even if you’re not blocked, because it secures your transmissions.

Anyway, archive SEARCH has been broken since April 1- it almost feels like the perpetual April Fools Joke that won’t end. All emails before 4/1 are searchable; everything after that can’t be found without going through the archives manually.

Yahoo used to have a link on the top of the email search results page that said “Like our New search, tell us what you think”. I complained about every other day to this problem. Now, that link is removed. Yahoo is in trouble.

WL: This is my first choice. I’ve been using Hotmail for years and it has never let me down. Spam filtering is great and the interface is nice and smooth looking. I’m one of those people that enjoy having a nice visual to look at, something that Yahoo! can barely provide do due to all the ads, and Google is just really bare.

Google: Amazing, simply amaizing. I think I’m the only one that complains about the bare look of it and the annoying Google Ads on the right. Yes I do notice them. But it really is a great client because of all the functionality it has. Not to mention Google is one of the best companies that exist. I’m a big Google fan.

Yahoo: THE SPAM KING. I use this EMAIL as my junk MAIL give away. Each time I need to sign up for something, but I really don’t want to give away my real EMAIL, I use this. It gets so loaded with SPAM anyway, I just log in here just to erase it all about once a month.

Hands down Google is the best EMAIL client, but I really like the Visual style of Windows Live. Plus I get to have free Domains by using Windows Office Live as well. It’s a big plus for those that are looking to have personal looking EMAILs without having to spend a nickel on Domain registering.

1. Hotmail.
Better for managing my msn contacts, in MSN Messenger. i don’t use Yahoo messenger and gmail chat cause my friends use MSN Messenger.

2. Yahoo Mail.
Best for viewing email and sending personal email. I preffer yahoo mail because it’s spam filter is great. I don’t send or read mail in hotmail because it’s not web 2.0 compliant and it’s slower than yahoo mail.

3. Gmail.
This is the best for work. I send lots of code in attachments, lots of programs, and lot’s of pictures in gmail. I don’t like hotmail because you can’t see images in small size as yahoo does, or even you can’t preview a pdf file in html and gmail does. I would use yahoo mail but gmail gives more space.

It’s fast, and read word attachments. two clicks on my mobile and I am reading email – login info stored inside the app. It’s very very good for emails that i don’t want to use my Blackberry on.

I can’t speak to Hotmail, but Yahoo mail has two WAP web pages to choose from when using a mobile browser. Though I pay the $20/yr which is a great value in blocking spam, dropping ads from the interface and email signature, plus allowing POP access (from my mobile). Yahoo also had push mail capabilities on the Blackberry without requiring the $20 plan. Additionally, they offer Yahoo Go (and Go 2.0) – an application for many mobile devices that includes email (without requiring the annual fee). So on the mobile side, I think Yahoo compares very favorably to Gmail.
