Well, Gmail is excellent in terms of storage space and mail options. The interface is modern, and messages can be read with utter ease. The chat options are excellent, and the load time for the mail client itself is good. Yahoo, like you said, has a top-notch spam protection (even the basic!), but I would think about the spam protection on Gmail versus Yahoo before switching.

I have nothing against your opinion's but mine is that it's a waste of time. I use Hotmail, Yahoo and also a AOL Mail account. I also have my website e-mail which I manage too.

Thanks,

Paul.

Well I love gmail. However you get a lot of other stuff with Google. You should try out Google Chrome too. It is the browser that Google has. There are other provisions when you sign up with a Google account that you may like. One is free storage for pictures. I find that particularly useful because I do not want to use up my disk space.

I have unlimited storage with my Yahoo email account. However Google has a lot of storage too. I find it handy to have more than one email account. Gmail is free. That is one thing to take into account. You also get free blog space with a Google account. That is something to think about.

Try it out for yourself. That is the only way you will be able to tell. People have different ideas of what they want.
