Yahoo is very famous. Everyone knows about yahoo, their yahoo messenger, yahoo mail etc etc. Just like google, yahoo too have various services. I am writing a post on what i feel about yahoo mail. I'm not an expert in this and if I'm wrong then let it be. Don't believe me or what i have typed below. This is my blog. So i' supposed to type in what i find.
I have been using yahoo mail from the time i got my net. That was when i was in 3rd grade. Now i finished 12th grade. So i guess this time was enough for me to know a lot about computers and internet. My first mail id was from yahoo. And i have been using it since then, even though i had to new accounts now and then as i forgot my password.
Now time has changed and things also have changed. I don't use yahoo mail as i used to. The only use i find with my yahoo id is for yahoo messenger which i think is the best. But yahoo mail is not my personal favourite anymore. Now i use google's gmail which i think is the best. Not too shiny or stylish and not too complicated. But it does it job pretty well.
The problem i find with yahoo mail is that, it doesnt seem to find spams as spams. Where as gmail is really good at this.
This is a screenshot of my inbox. There isnt lots of spam in my inbox, but believe me if i dont check my mail for 2-3days, there is going to be a lot the next time i log in.Where does all these spam mails come from. Well that is actually stupidity from my part.
When i was a kid, i saw a site that provided free phones and other stuff if i provide my email id. I believed it and gave my email address to every site and since then i have been getting lots and lots of spam.
Anyway i think yahoo is weak on identifying spam mails where google excels. Google hasnt allowed a single spam to enter my inbox.
But google's strong spam protection has its drawbacks. Some of my mails has been accidently send to the spam box. But i didnt have a big problem with this as such. I just have to check my spam box once in a week or so. Thats all.
As i said. This is no professional review and this may not be the case with everyones inbox. Maybe it because i gave my mail id to everyone i am having this trouble. Or maybe its something else. But still, i posted what i think is true.
Now some maybe asking why i am still using a yahoo id. The answer is simple. Its because of the pretty cool and awesome yahoo messenger. From morning to night i use this. I keep in contact with everyone through this.
So yahoo has its pros and cons. Do a little research before you create a new mail id.
Check out the scorecard which i found in another site which took this from a laptop magazine:
