How do people with experience of using Gmail and Yahoo! mail beta find they compare?

It seems likely that one day i will have to move from my regular yahoo! mail to one of the newer ones, and they're probably more user friendly anyway, the question is which is best? If i go with Yahoo! mail beta would I have to change my email address and so reregister/update my details with the hundreds of websites i've registered with over the years, not to mention friends, work colleagues etc.?





It would be great to hear from people who have experience with both yahoo! beta and Gmail...thanks!

I use both Yahoo Mail beta and Gmail and I have to admit I like Yahoo better. And before I continue, I'll say that you do not need to re-register or change your email address. I switch between the beta and regular versions depending on whose computer I'm on, or what browser is being used.





I like Yahoo's nicer, "sleeker" interface, as well as its drag-and-drop message organization sytem. Its message preview pane as well as the tabs are definitely improvements from the regular version. The only problem I have is that it's slow. It takes forever if I have to use a dial-up connection, but even on DSL or cable it takes a bit longer than one would like. Nevertheless I prefer Yahoo Mail beta over Gmail. Note that this bias may also be due to the fact that I primarily use Yahoo for my primary email. (I just don't like having to keep track of three emails).





Gmail, on the other hand, isn't as visually attractive as Yahoo, but from my experience it functions as a great, down-to-the-point email system. I'm not a fan of its message organization system, but it's good for when you don't care about having one folders and just want to search, or like messages/replies to be organized based on the original messages. And if you get a LOT of mail, or don't like to delete messages, the 2.7 GB limit is pretty nice. (Personally though, I don't need all that space. My Yahoo mail account is only 3% full!)





So if you need a very large inbox and like new innovative organizational features, Gmail could be for you. But if you like the simple folder approach with drag-and-drop functionality, and don't mind the 1GB inbox, Yahoo Mail beta may be for you. Note that currently Gmail requires invitations into the system and Yahoo Mail beta seems to randomly select new participants into the beta program.
Reply:Hello there !! It seems to me you have a long time experience on the Internet. I think you should know that if you switch over to a new or Beta-Program of the same kind, such as G-mail or in this case Yahoo!, You don't have to change a thing!! Your Account,Settings,Addresses,Favorites,Con... so on. Will be taken over automatically!!! And of course you don't have to change your E-mail addresses,they'll all stay the same!! So you do not have to tell your Internet-Connections!!


You really didn't knew about all of this??

Reply:Hey, I think there's a slight misunderstanding about Yahoo! Mail Beta here--you can try it *without* having to re-register your account and all the registered emails from all your websites over the years. I've provided a small tutorial to help you out; the links I provide go to images of what you should be seeing and where to click. It's not really hard, I'm just a visual person myself =)

*Step 1: Log into regular Yahoo! Mail and click "Options."

Oh, and in response to how it compares to Gmail... I use both personally, but I like Yahoo!'s new interface better. Click and drag is just too cool for e-mail! Though Gmail offers 2.7 GB and counting and (as you can see from my screenshots) I'm nearing Yahoo!'s limit. It really depends on who you are and what you need to accomplish, but personally the new Yahoo! Mail will fit my needs amply.





Hope that helps!
