For me it has always been about the spam filter(gmail is way better at it) ,and the fact that I didn't have to pay to read my mails in outlook with gmail.Maybe it has changed but the "forwarding" was a paid feature in yahoo mail.
- _delirium 12y agoOddly the lack of a decent spam-filter was the reason I left gmail. It had way too many false positives for me, including some very problematic ones. The last straw was when it flagged an email from my landlord as spam, with the explanation that it was flagged because it was written in Danish, a language I don't normally communicate in. It's true that I don't normally write in Danish. But I do live in Denmark, so it doesn't seem very justified to flag something as spam just because it's written in Danish. If anything, emails written in Danish are the most likely to be important!
- Karunamon 12y agoI've had the opposite experience - demos of hosting mail elsewhere lead to me getting absolutely overwhelmed by spam. I think being a gmail user since it was initially released has given it a really long time to train to the spam I normally receive. Very few false positives too. Maybe one or two a month.
