Google vs. Yahoo email?

i have currently both a google and a yahoo email. i first had google but then for a while our security settings wouldnt allow the viewing of my inbox. so then i got yahoo. we have the problem fixed now and plus im about to buy a new computer. i like google in the fact that it is so professional like. but i like yahoo with all of its features. i also like that google has an easy to use calender and that they have the "im feeling lucky" thing with their search bar.


could anyone please tell me which i should choose and why/why not. Thank You EVERYONE for answering or even considering!!!

Google vs. Yahoo email?
Use the email service that is most comfortable for you. I personally prefer Gmail for the following reasons:





- Simple interface that is pleasing to the eye and easy to navigate


- Gmail has only text ads. Yahoo! mail advertisements are too flashy and distracting.


- Gmail is faster. Yahoo sends you to a useless homepage before letting you read your inbox


- Gmail is organized. I could not go without easy to make filters and labels.


- Gmail is integrated with all the other great Google features including Reader, Documents, and Calendar.





The only advantage I see in Yahoo right now is its unlimited storage. But Gmail, with its ~3 GB storage, is more than enough for me!





Hope this helps.
Reply:i like yahoo email format better.





gmail format i get response emails and sometimes dont' realize they are there (its the bold/not bold thing that confuses me!).





i like google for searching more -- yahoo tends to be more directed for shopping -- the first searches are always like "buy xxxx online now!" which is kind of entertaining if you are searching things like concentration camps and other stuff you can't really buy online but someone is trying to sell you on it.
Reply:Google better known as Gmail is ok but I suggest Yahoo it has more features to try out and you can also use regular or the beta version which ever fits you best. If you choose to go for gmail thats cool too if you have alot of people with Gmail accounts, on the contrary go Yahoo or like me try both Yahoo and Gmail and see which one your more comfortable with.
Reply:I also have a Gmail account. And I think its great! You should choose the Gmail/Google email account because its just alot more modern and it has great security features and such.
