Way back then, I use Yahoo mail for my email. I am satisfied with its functions. However, when I tried to create new email I used Gmail and I find it easy to use and easy to access. Though both are good and almost the same, I much prefer Gmail now than Yahoo Mail.

Me too. Yahoo used to be the main email for online users. But ever since Gmail became a thing, it's like you know which one is better. So you obviously went with the better and newer alternative.

I used Hotmail more than I ever used Yahoo, and Hotmail feels so dated compared to my Gmail account. I feel like anything Google does is very progressive and moves with the times very well. Some other email account providers seem to rest on their laurels more - and that's not a good thing when it comes to keeping customers.

I feel like I didn't see your signature exclamation mark. I think I got used to seeing you reply with a passionate streak. Like this!

I don't think I've used Hotmail. It sounds weird and foreign to me. I just used Yahoo back then because its search engine was still pretty relevant. Now it's overshadowed by the almighty Google.

I'm sure it's not a good thing when they rest on their names. Well, they really can't compete with Gmail. It's practically the most used email provider since the last decade or so.

That's neat. I'm not used to hearing others still using Yahoo mail. I kind of don't like its design. Maybe it's because I haven't upgraded mine so that I don't get ads. I'm glad it's worked out for you for more than a decade.

I love Yahoo mail. I've used it for so many transactions. Yahoo mail has been my partner for more than a decade. However, after that incident that I can't access my email account, that's the time that I decide to switch to gmail. So far, I am satisfied with my gmail account.

I've had a similar experience. I used to have a Yahoo account. But after being unable to access it, I had to change my provider. To my surprise, Gmail was actually better in many ways.

I also don't have to worry about losing my account since it has many ways to return access to its original owner.

You might have made a good decision. Google is known for tracking everyone's information. So I'm sure that Yahoo is somewhat less intensive on using everyone's data. Best to stick with what you're sure of.

I think so too. I actually had an awkward experience using Gmail in the beginning. But I quickly learned how to use it thanks to its simple features. I still miss the classic Gmail look.

The updated version kind of feels like a phone version rather than something for the computer.

Gmail app both on the android and the web works lot better. In case it filters out content more effectively. And yahoo mail being a bit troublesome with each new update. It is not worth having such type of the mail program. Something I won't be relying on this type of the app or say program. It can be seriously tiring if you ask me.

To me Yahoo is outdated in many respects. I don't think anyone can really compete (on a free level) with Gmail these days. If someone contacts me from a Yahoo account, I'm honestly going to think they are less professional than someone who contacts me from a Gmail account.

Yahoo still survives as a search engine and news service. But its email system I don't think will see any newer or fresh updates in the future. Yet it's interesting that they've never decided to pull the plug. It's probably because the service still has many users.

Yahoo and Gmail are no difference in the basic function that is to send/receive email.

Gmail has been my favorite for a long time now. I've only used Yahoo for a very short period but even then it left me quite dissatisfied. Like people before me mentioned, it was very unreliable and a lot of spam was coming through. Even though some have found Yahoo's interface quite attractive, I never felt that it worked for me. Something about it just kept me from being the most productive I could be.

On the other hand, Gmail's interface really resonates with me. It looks clean, polished and divides my emails into handy segments like primary, social and promotions. It makes it easy to find all my emails while not getting overloaded with unimportant marketing mails.

I used to like Gmail. A few weeks away though they locked me out of one of my gmail accounts claiming that I had violated their terms of service which was disgusting because all I ever do is login, check emails and log out.

If it weren't for the fact that I need to use Google docs, I definitely wouldn't use Gmail. As for Yahoo mail, I haven't used it since 2010 and don't intend to either.

Gmail is better than Yahoo Mail due to the fact it's far established to make extra money for Google than Yahoo Mail makes for Yahoo. As a end result, Google can have enough money to position greater resources into its e-mail service than Yahoo. As a late arrival to the e-mail scene, Google had the chance to analyze from the errors of the incumbents and to construct a system that turned into advanced in each way.

I still remember the time when Yahoo is much more popular than Google. Back in the days where Yahoo Messenger was still existing. It is my favorite tool being offered by Yahoo since I've met other users using that platform. Terms like asl,ctc,gtg,lol were mostly used in those chat forums inside the Yahoo Messenger. I wonder what caused the decline of its popularity. Maybe its because of the rise of social media websites like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram etc which also offers free but better communication services. The lesson will be is that even if the business is already successful we must still do not stop improving our product or services that we can offer to the people. But to answer the question, right now I choice to use Gmail because it is simple but a powerful email service provider.

I like Gmail better. I like how it is tied into all my Google accounts. If I can sign into my gmail, then I am basically signed into all of the google products I use.

The only time I actually use Yahoo is to create junk emails, emails that I do not care if they get spammed. This is to protect my real email from people who either sell email addresses, or too much spam from companies wanting you to basically buy everything they throw at you.

Gmail has been around for a while, and I have been using it for quite some time. I actually forgot when I created my Gmail email account but I am sure it was around the time of the launch sometime nearing middle of 2004-ish I think is when I created my account there. A lot has changed since it's infancy but with the new design and options I think Gmail is here to stay - hopefully!

To be honest, I really don't understand any other service apart from Gmail, it's just so popular and universal. There's not a single person who doesn't know about Gmail.

Exactly, finally someone said this. Yahoo was really good, until they started putting all those annoying adds there. Honestly, adds get me out of my mind, and they even make you fill up some kind of survey, when you choose to eliminate the add.

Gmail for me. I use Yahoo as well but not as much as Gmail. I think Gmail has it going for it that it's only one service Google offers. With one account, you have access to all of google including their email services. How can people not choose that over others?

Gmail is a million times better than Yahoo, especially due to all the applications associated with Gmail; from Youtube to Google Documents, life is simpler with a gmail account that a Yahoo account. Also, in this day and age I literally have no idea who even uses Yahoo anymore.

I agree with you. Google just basically ate up everything in the Internet. Obviously, Google will achieve greater heights in the future.

To be honest, their business even about all the services they provide it's about all the data that we allow them access to. Every google search, every email every youtube video you watch is just another bit of data that they can then use to sell advertising and target you. That being said, I still prefer to use Gmail over Yahoo because both organizations are doing the same thing. However, like you said, Google ate up everything on the internet, so it makes more sense to use the account that simplies your life.

Gmail over yahoo always. That may be just because of google running gmail but i always thought that gmail is better.
And i don't even want to mention the google+.... Just way more better than yahoo...

I am trying my best now to use the gmail on most of my freelancing sites so that I can see and feel the benefits of using it. I would like to give it a try since mostly before I was using yahoo mail and it is about time to treat them fairly and equal. so that I can easily noticed its advantage and disadvantages.

I've been using one Yahoo mail for like more than 10 years now, and one thing that I don't like about their site is it's loading in my end. Unlike Yahoo, Google loads fast and it's very nice to use.

I use both Gmail and Yahoo but my main account is Gmail. Gmail is easier to use and has a simple design which is pleasing to the eyes. It can also be easily replaced because making a new one is just a piece of cake compared to Yahoo which ask so many information in signing up. I only use Yahoo for back up. I also use both of them as a secondary email.

Same here. I find Gmail easier to handle, and I don't know why Yahoo takes a lot of time to download. I think is because they added a lot of new features, and that makes it heavier. Also, I used to have Yahoo because I of the messenger service, but they ended it, so I stopped using it as often as I did.

I agree with you. Yahoo mail back then was massively popular. I don't know what happens to it in the future though.

I prefer Gmail because it is much more flexible and secure. With just one e-mail account I can access other Google applications like Google Photos, Google Drive and also Youtube, so there is no hassle to create separate accounts for each of them.

There's some things in this world which is hard to change. One example is Yahoo Mail, for me it's still the best email ever.

I use Google mail now because for me Yahoo mail is old, almost all of my transactions online are through Gmail and there's really no particular reason as to why I use Gmail, I just think Yahoo mail is from the past and Gmail is the trend.

I usually use both of them for different reason. I use gmail for personal like for business or any other personal connections. For yahoo, I am only using it for other stuff like discounts, card memberships, and for random things that requires my email. So I use both for some different occasions.

I prefer Yahoo Mail not for any other reason but for convenience. I feel content with Yahoo Mail because I tried Gmail and it was inconvenient for me. Maybe I am resistant to change but why would I shift to Gmail when Yahoo is working good for me. Like the time that I shifted to Google from another search engine, it was because Google could give me more relevant links. With the email, Yahoo is still the best for me.

I use both and I prefer Gmail when it comes to the website version, I find it much cleaner and more usable. I've never used both of their apps though, I think they're a waste of storage and pointless since I'm already using the default app on my phone and when it comes to that, there's really not much difference. I'm using both for basic emailing so I prefer both, it doesn't really matter to me.

I prefer using gmail ratjer than yahoo. I cannot even remember my old yahoo mail anymore since I have been using my gmail more. The thing about gmail is it is easy to sign up, and it is very user friendly. You will not see a lot of stuffs in the window unlike the yahoo which has a lot of stuffs displayed which makes it complicated for the senior citizen to access it.

Previously I was using Yahoo but once I discovered Gmail, I quickly switched to it. Yahoo's performance is not bad really, I just think Gmail is more user-friendly and much more efficient and easier to use. Also, Gmail is the mailing service mostly used in our country so it's a great choice. For people like me who do online jobs, Gmail is preferable because most sites don't accept emails other than Gmail.

Currently gmail. I've been using yahoo for much longer, my first ever made e-mail is yahoo. But gmail is currently much more connected to other social media. I think that android phones have contributed a lot to that. You need gmail account for all google android applications: Google Play, Google Games, Google Music... So gmail is almost necessary nowadays.

I prefer to use Gmail as a web-based e-mail service for my freelancing job because it helps me to monetize all the transaction that I have done and easily notify me what updates should I read in a past week. I do not prefer to use yahoo mail because there are some leaks in their security and it will be risky for me as a freelancer that's why I use Gmail than yahoo mail.

My first email was yahoo and I still have and use that email but I have since created a Gmail account and it is more effective and efficient. Recently, I have been encountering problems with deleting emails on my yahoo app. Whenever i delete a mail, it returns to my inbox. I have to use a desktop version in order to successfully delete the mail and it is really frustrating.
