Gmail Vs Yahoo Which is The Best to Choose
Do you like this story?
There are hundreds of free email service
providers but most of them are incompetent at fighting spam and have less
inbuilt email functionaliy than the two giants: Google and Yahoo! The Gmail and
Yahoo Mail clients are undoubtedly the two most popular free email
clients. These two well-known rivals
have been competing with each other for a long time and providing a free &
advanced email service to the world.
When we talk about these two popular services, we often ask ourselves
the highly controversial question: which
one is better, Gmail or Yahoo Mail?
So if you are looking for answers to this question then you are in the
right place, as that’s what we’re going to cover over the course of this
article.
Instant Messaging
Gmail seems to be pretty strong when we
talk about the inbuilt integration of Instant Messaging services with email
service. Gmail allows you to quickly
send Instant Messages (IM) to online contacts from the sidebar of your inbox,
while the instant messaging service provided by Yahoo is not as easily
accessible, as Yahoo instant messenger is separate from the Yahoo email
service. In Gmail, you can instantly
send chat messages in the form of email to your contacts in the same
environment, while in Yahoo, you have to open a new chat bar to chat with your
online friends; which some people will find annoying.
Attachments
When talking about attachments, again,
Gmail seems to have a stronger offering.
In Gmail, you can quickly attach a document without switching to a new
window, while in Yahoo, you’re forced to go to a separate screen for uploading
attachments; which again is undoubtedly annoying for many users. Apart from
this, you’re only allowed to attach a maximum of 5 attachments in Yahoo, but
Gmail is again a hassle-free option in this situation as you can include as
many attachments as you need.
Folder Organization
One way in which Yahoo stands out from
Gmail is Yahoo’s ability to organize and manage folders intelligently. With
Yahoo mail, you can label and organise folders effectively; no matter how many
folders and labels you are using they are always made easily accessible.
Although Gmail also allows you to add labels to your folders, its folder
organisation is not up to mark and you can often get confused while playing
with folders.
Maximum Attachment size
Gmail again comes up trumps against Yahoo
when we talk about the maximum attachment size permitted. While in Gmail you
can attach a document of up to 20MB, Yahoo email services only allow for a
maximum of 10 MB per attachment.
Impact of Brand
The impact of the brand name is probably
one of the most appealing reasons for the success and popularity of Gmail.
Everyone is following Google’s web products like Google+, YouTube, Google Play,
etc. and therefore choosing a separate service for email seems uneasy to
various users. So, we believe that Gmail is undoubtedly a winner in
professional credibility.
Verdict
Overall, Gmail seems to be a much more
promising email service than Yahoo Mail. It’s professional reputation,
flexibility and integration with other Google services makes it a clear
winner. Either way, whichever email
service you prefer, do let us know your comments.
