I have used Yahoo! since 1996 (originally a free Geocities POP3 account), and am currently using a paid account.
I find it much superior to Gmail. Their beta AJAX web interface has the look and feel of a full desktop mail client, and is very similar to Thunderbird. Yahoo!'s AddressGuard feature is extremely useful - Google has nothing really comparable. The only drawback is that Yahoo! does not yet offer IMAP.
I use Google for my calendar and contacts (and use the Google exchange server to sync both of these to my phone).
- gehant 17y agoIt doesn't bother you that they essentially charge you for POP3 access? That's what put me over the edge from Y! to Gmail - I wanted to use an email application (Thunderbird, actually) to manage multiple email accounts. And now I'm mostly using IMAP for better accessibility
- Gormo 17y agoI wasn't aware that POP3 wasn't offered on free accounts. Even so, it's only $15 per year, and the other features a paid account enables are worth it. Nothing wrong with paying for added value. :)
