However, what it the big deal with Gmail?

My Yahoo! account
  • is free

  • has 250 MB of storage

  • is fast and friendly

  • removes 99.99% of spam (I get next to no spam whatsoever - like 1 message a month)

  • has hosted my account for God knows how long


  • Why are people jumping ship?

    Ohh... they're the Hotmail users. Sorry, my bad.
    I don't see any good point here. Gmail beats it all . How can you be so positive about Yahoo mail's spam blocking if you receive only 1 spam a month? Gmail also has spam blocking, though I don't receive any spam so I don't know how effective it is.

    I think people are "jumping ship" only because they know Google is an excellent company and that now that they've launched an email service, everyone wants to try it; but registration is on an invitation-only basis, so only a relatively few people can currently sign up.
