I use Yahoo and Gmail. Which is better is subjective depending on how you like to use email. I prefer Yahoo, mainly for the same reason the OP mentions about the size of compose. Yahoo compose gives you almost the full screen, in its own tab. It gives you space to think, copy and paste, vomit draft. Also, objectively, from the time I hit the bookmark, to the time I see my inbox, Yahoo is faster than Gmail. Where Yahoo loses is the terrible ugly display ads that loaded in. ps: you know what other site has an annoyingly small compose space? HN! :)
