Gmail, Yahoo and Hotmail

As the above, which one of them is the best?
Pls post your opinion here cos i need to choose one of them to be my primary mail acc.
Actually i am using 3 of them and the mail i need to check is too much
So, i wan to focus on one mail acc now.

IMO, i think that gmail is not bad and i like to use it's calender.
But the real problem that makes me don wan to use it is it cant move the mail into the folder. It only allows us to label it.
That mean i need to went thru about 500 mails in the inbox with all the mail like rojak.

About yahoo, everything is ok but it only give us 1GB of storage... now i already used 40% of it..

Windows Live Mail(hotmail) is better than b4 and it offer 2GB of space and other innovative feature like drag n drop.. etc
But the streamyx at my place always have bad connection to the mail server. Which makes me cos login alone already used 1 min. No need to mention about open mail already. And this always occur everymonth for a few days


Thats my 2 cents


How about urs?

I always prefer gmail.

Bcoz, my old P3 PC works faster with G-mail, and even faster on my opterons workstation. . Hassle free, fast loading.

Gmail fans here

I prefer GMAIL because all the Ads are in text form , not like others

hmm... Hotmail is 2GB mer? How come i got 25MB only?

I'm using hotmail.......... more pleasing to the eyes i think...

New Windows Live hotmail the interface always giving me trouble, never state mailbox usage anymore (I think the 2gb maybe is a lie, since I can't see it).

Gmail fan,
so, how do you deal with the fact that mail couldnt move to the folder?

change to other webmail

I prefer hotmail. Somehow, I have been using since 6 or 7 years ago and I find it easy to use. I still remember last time my mail memory started with 2MB, then 25MB then now 2GB.

The new Yahoo Mail beta interface is slicker and definitely better than GMail or WLM.

Still using WLM though because of Custom Domain service, which Yahoo should have provided too.

M7 will have the usage meter back, and also checkboxes.

Labelling/tagging is slowly replacing folder.

for me, gmail > yahoo (old) > hotmail/WLM

speed: gmail > yahoo > hotmail
ads: gmail > yahoo > hotmail
interface: gmail > yahoo > hotmail

WLM is just plain sux. i have no idea wth they put the damn ad at the top. bcoz of that, the viewing area is reduced. and the message list area is damn small. and its extremely slow!

If you travels a lot like me.... go for yahoo... u can access ur mail by WAP (mobile phone)... very convenient...

i prefer gmail coz it gives free pop3 & smtp service

tastes great or less filling?

man , most ppl will stick to the first webmail they used. for me it's yahoo. but gmail is a close second. downloading everything into my hard drive is a great plus.

prefer windows live mail
load fast n great design
i hate gmail wif cheap design...or not i will choose gmail

yeah, at the moment my primary is still hotmail, but slowly switch to gmail after i've done my contacts & subscription housekeeping

Been using GMail since it was beta (ah wait....it's still beta right? )

Personally i'm not a big fan of other Google proggies (GTalk, Google Earth, Google Calendar etc), but I'm fine with GMail

Innovative features, big storage, simple UI...

Terminated my hotmail account some years ago, but still keeping my yahoo account for access to yahoo-groups stuff..

Primary webmail is gmail.. Fast, simple UI and no useless crap shown on screen. Function must always override form..

gmail can do that too ;-)

1 noob question here.

GMail seems to have every mail in the inbox, although I have filter them into seperate special folder when the mail came. Why the inbox still have the mail? Not like yahoo mail. Tat's the part when I start to use Gmail and I dun like already.

But then, I do very love the storage. As my yahoo mail reaching it's max capacity already. Start to worry already

GMail is not using Folder concept, it's using "Tag" concept, you just tag it but not physically move it (like LYN tag)

If you don't want to see it in inbox, in your filter you have to tick this option

- Skip the Inbox (Archive it)

Huh? Dun actually understand this sentence. Mind to explain more?

which mean all new mail will be stored in the archive instead of inbox/redirect the new mail from inbox to archive

using gmail as main email account ATM

hate hotmail , dont really mind the old yahoo interface , more of hate teh new one actually

hotmail has always took forever to load , whereas yahoo , after logging in , you need to press another link to get to the inbox , just hate teh hassle

i vote for gmail..bcox of it's speed of retriving mail just in between 2-3 sec,u may get the activation mail when u need to activate some registeration in some forum..

but hotmail just sxxk,wait for half days,still haven got the mail and even the mail space oso so limited..the gmail space are growing each days...now almost 2.7gb!!!

yahoo - some not all yahoo have pop3. website can choose new/old. pop3 fast. if forget password, die. i have trouble using yahoo.com.my pop3

gmail pop3 using secure conections. pop3 slow. if forget password, gmail best.

For me i still stick with GMAIL as i encounter with situation that a sender sent out 2 mail, Only the gmail can get it instantly and for another mail that send to the hotmail was missing. Damn annoyed if that mail is very urgent & important!

For me gmail is user friendly and fast.

I am Yahoo fan :-))

Anyone have Gmail invitation? PM me...Thankx :-)

just leave ur email here, i got plenty of invitation to give ler...

I'm more prefer Gmail because fast and never have any problem before. Yahoo is my 2nd mails and i don't like hotmail because offer too little space.

i juz tried the new yahoo beta
The interface is neat n slick

INterface
Yahoo>WLM>Gmail

Speed
Gmail>Yahoo>WLM

Up to now, i still dont like the new tag system introduced by Gmail.
Duh!
Dont you feel tat after u got 1000 mails inside your inbox,it's very troublesome to find a single mail if the search failed to do so for you?
I will try to find it's benefit

You got the starred and archieve function what...

are you sure WLM is fast?

WLM is the slowest for loading.

gmail the fastest anyway
but gmail design juz sux for me
looks only blank

but you claimed WLM is fastest woh....

i just said load fast but not the fastest

i love GMAIL ^^

I like Yahoo webmail becoz it's fast and it provides 2GB of space. It's user-friendly.. ez for those who're still new to learn/discover it. Meanwhile, I like Gmail becoz of its super large space.. and its POP service. I'm currently using Thunderbird to get my Gmail emails. It's fast n convenient too But I dont really support Hotmail.. becoz the space provided is obviously small and dunno why, it takes long time for my pc to load hotmail.com. furthermore, I registered hotmail acc. last time becoz I thought I need to have one hotmail to register a msn messenger .net acc. That's how i get all my 3 emails. LOL xP

After i starred too many then the problem come back again wo

for me its Gmail, ok the email wise, no need to mention la, u all gave it as the best liao, ok since my office blocks all IM, unless i use port tunneling for my IM which is very slow, gmail's talk in the email interface is the best la ...

Yahoo service is still the best althought there's minor problem from time 2time. It's my 1st webmail service i use in my lifetime..Of course is better than other webmail..hehe

Gmail is having problem:

http://groups.google.com/group/Gmail-Probl...44a5846826aaa/#

I am one of the victim.

Personally I'll vote for Yahoo mail.

Too bad, I'm so sorry to hear that...hopefully none of the mails you missed is highly critical...

I've no problem in receiving emails via gmail though.

never use public webmail for critical correspondence ler, in actual fact it is stated in webmail policies

I use Gmail email for some online e-currency security notification.

The notification is sent to the email address registered to validate the login.

Thus, was not able to login as could not receive the email.

Finally I have solved the issue but not on Gmail.

I have 2 Gmail email addresses and one of it has no problem at all. I believe the one that I am having problem now is on different server.

Now I should consider other alternative free email service provider.... may be gawab or yahoo?

if some forward u a cool pictures,

yahoo cant save all at one time. need plenty of clicks
gmail can save all.

gawab? never heard of it, better stick to reputable one, i encountered a terrible experience b4 this, subscribed a xxx webmail (can't recall the name) with unlimited capacity given, end-up the webmail closed down and i lost all the contacts & correspondence, but the worst thing is i introduced it to few of my frenz, still feel sorry for them until now

www.gawab.com

Gawab has been 4 years and the feature I like is message tracking service and very light. Fast loading.

ic, but normally i use streamyx/tmnet personal mail for business & family correspondense and the free webmail for personal thingy such as article subscription, registration & etc

oh ya. Last time I used streamyx for those private and important email correspondense but they are having slow receiving problem for almost 1/2 year and I have switched to gmail.

They are still having the problem now.

TMNet BOLEH!

Hmm... How much docs/emails you need to star at once?

you should try E-Messenger .it's web based messenger.

i prefer GMail. Didn't got any problem yet.

p/s: if you want gmail invitation, pls pm me

hi, i want to send an 80MB attachment, which webmail should i use? i tried gmail but it can't be done, thanks

I doubt there is much mail server support that.
Even you can send, the other party might not be able to receive it.

I suggest you to either use FTP or use temporary hosting service like YouSendIt.com

any other service will have better upload speed compare to yousendit? thanks

YouSendIt upload is pretty much alright to me.

You can try MegaUpload though

For me , The yahoo mail is fast , hotmail is slow abit .But both attacthment file only can til 1MB only?

www.rapidshare.de is the best.. upload to server... pass the links to ya friend to download.

www.sendspace.com also is cool..

but rapidshare is good for me..as the upload speed is quiet good until other file hosting services around..

This website mean we can upload our bigger size file to there, dhen can download from any where ?

i tried all those uploading service..getting max upload speed around 10kb only! damm slowwww...

If your upload cap is 128K, 10K is just about the speed you're going to get

the file remain there for how long?

The website FAQ is there for some reason isn't it?

Even if it's not FAQ it must be stated somewhere
