In the case of yahoo mail it is very slow for load because it contains advertisemensts .But in the case of Gmail they dont have any advertisement like yahoo and msn

GMail:

Pros: Fun, eyes catching, labels, conversation views, POP, IMAP, Google Talk (I don’t think many are using this program, but worth an effort from GMail), …

Cons: Contacts management (delete the recently mailed ‘contact(s)’ will affect the “Contacts” list as well, cannot change color, lacks of colored labels, fonts, unable to print the messages from the ‘Inbox’, …

Yahoo!:

Pros: Unlimited space (I think), Yahoo Instant Messenger, Folders, changeable theme color, able to print the whole messages from the ‘Inbox’, …

Cons: Too bland, All-New version still with the side ad (really annoying, had to click the arrow to make it disappear every time), no POP or IMAP (need to pay $19.99 / year or month (forgot) to have the POP, possibly IMAP feature available) …

Fellow Gmail users and Yahoo users, if you have anything to add onto what I have, please feel free. I know there should be more pros and cons for these two but that’s all I could think of … for now. I am as frustrated as anyone here.

My conclusion, GMail is on the rise, that does not make them the best, not just yet, there are many things that these two competitors are needed to improve on, thus far, I haven’t seen any email providers that met or exceed our expectations.

Gmail is so clean…I am committed to unclutter.
Big Q: Why can’t I sort gmail by sender like I can in Yahoo or Outlook?
Seems sooooo basic…and save a ton of time.
Is there a plugin that could allow me to sort my gmail by sender?
Thanks.

I belive yahoo! classic was a a better one than the all new thing. cus its to clustered and the space given to read the mail is reduced remarkably. so u have to drag all over the place to read a message. So i have moved myself to gmail. And it gives the POP facility as you can use it with your outlook, which you can’t do with yahoo mail, free!

I am wanting to forward my e-mail to everyone on my contact list,how do I do that? On other e-mail sights all you do is click on the TO and a list of your contacts show up,but in gmail this is not true. How in the world is forwarding to multiple contacts in gmail is accomplished??
THANK YOU

Gmail is the best.

with high giga capacity of storage.
BEST SPAM REDIRECTION (as soon i mark the spam emails as spam i never see them again in my inbox ). Best Search and many other features that they have added is making google fantastic.
According to my point of view google will be the webmail leader in the world by coming 2015 . . .

All the best Google !!!

in gmail. how am i going to send a forwarded email to multiple contacts? like i want to forward an email message to 20 friends.

in gmail you need to type the address first then an auto complete will show you the email addreses save in contacts.

unlike in yahoo just click on the “TO” button and a pop-up will appear showing your contact list and all you need to do is to select which email or for multiple contacts, just press the shift or control key then point the mouse pointer to desired email address(es).

Help me with my issue on how to send message in multiple recipients. Thank u.
