    Which email address do you frequently use? I like Yahoo mail because it is so easy to register and you can easily receive your mails but it is prone to spam mails which I hate the most. Unlike Google mail, I like it too because they are very strict with regards to there registration and the spammers. How about you guys which do you prefer?

    I have a email.com address, which I think is owned by AOL. It was very easy to use before they did a complete overhaul. Its still pretty easy to use, but its not as good as before the changes. I never got a gmail account because I didn't like the idea of cell phone verification.

    I would say Gmail is way way better than Yahoo! I had seen many mail delays when using yahoo than using gmail. I have also seem many forum admin posting a notice that the activation mail while take longer if you are using Yahoo! Thats pretty much it ;)

    I have accounts to both. One for personal and the other is for business. I can say, Y!Mail is user-friendly than Gmail. Since my clients and friends usually have Yahoo account, I'd end up using the Yahoo mail than the other one particularly in a situation that I need to email and talk to my clients at the same time. ;)

    I have both of them too. Gmail is my favorite because I can access it from multiple applications for free. Last time I checked, Yahoo required a premium account for some access. I'm not sure if that's still true. Sometimes I feel as though I've stepped onto the Google planet and love all things Google. I don't know if that's good or bad. :alien:

    I have Yahoo, Gmail and Hotmail email addresses. I like them all for different reasons. I have found, however, that my friends with Yahoo email have frequently had their email accounts hijacked so I end up getting bizarre emails from them...that weren't actually sent by them. Ya...it's a little bit freaky when that happens.

    For years I stuck to Yahoo Mail, especially since the messenger could be used right in it-was one of the first that could. However, I noticed that Gmail is much faster to load as it is not so cluttered with apps and so on. I guess it could also be that my Gmail inbox has way less e-mails in it right now. LOL Still, I prefer Gmail.

    I have both. I've used Y! longer but I like the ease of my Gmail. It's very easy to use. I guess I'm keeping my Y! for sentimental reasons. :)
