14 DAY TRIAL // Some time ago, I wrote a similar article and, after I compared the two mail solutions, I concluded that Google's technology is better and provides multiple useful functions for the users. But now, after the Sunnyvale super giant Yahoo released the final version of Yahoo Mail, I'm asking you again: which one do you prefer? The old fashioned Gmail or the new and very improved Yahoo Mail? Well, it depends on what you want from a mail technology. Let me explain it to you.
Yahoo Mail comes with lots of new goodies that will surely steal some Gmail users. First, it now includes Yahoo Messenger straight into its interface, allowing the users to communicate with their friends straight from the mail service. But Gmail also has one and it was the first product which introduced this kind of technology. As you probably know, Gmail enables consumers to use Google Talk using the mail's interface.
Then, Yahoo Mail offers unlimited storage size. That's right, un-li-mi-ted. So, you're no longer required to remove some of the messages saved in your account in order to receive new emails. You can even use Yahoo Mail as a new way to backup your files. However, the folks working at the Googleplex offer no less than 2.8 GB of storage capacity which I think is enough for an ordinary user. In addition, Google allows you to buy additional space for any account.
When Yahoo announced that Yahoo Mail will begin offering unlimited storage size, the Mountain View company replied in a funny mode: Gmail will bundle infinite capacity plus one just to be over its rival Yahoo Mail.
But Gmail was also updated. In February the super giant Google upgraded the mail solution and made it a public beta, allowing the users to register for a new account without an invitation.
