yahoo mail vs gmail

interface
*if you had used microsoft outlook before yahoo mail s reading will be similar but gmail provides you a cleaner n simpler look n approach :)

languages
*if you want to send emails in any other language other than english yahoo provides 25 , but let me tell you gmail goes a step further :) wel may be more n provides 52 languages~!!~! i swear :)
so one point for  gmail

attachments
*both gmail and yahoo allows you to add attachments simultaneously n ofcourse both allows a drag and drop attachments, but yahoo mail requires you to install an add on application while gmail does this right out of the box. :) one more for gmail :)

messages
*yahoo lists out s mails similar to outlook where as gmail does it like conversation.

chat
*both yahoo n gmail comes with a built in chat function . this can save time, as its quicker and easier to send instand messages to someone who s online .

contacts

*gmail automatically keeps addresses that you ve emailed in your contact list. where as yahoo requires a manual approach which includes boring too many clicks :( ~! so again gmail wins:)

spam
*gmailseems more capable of correctly identifying and banishing span then yahoo~! mail

organisation
*yahoo mail uses folders to organise your emails, while gmail uses labels. gmails labels have all the functionality of folders and more, as you can add more than one label to a conversation

conclusion: gmail scores a strike,thanks to its cutting edge features and better spam protection:)
