Yahoo and Hotmail both have a pleasant interface. It is a shame that the GMail interface is so ugly.

Get the real email account numbers from comScore – these numbers are way out of whack.

Your figures do not add up…There were 487 million Web based email addresses. Yahoo! with 250 million; MSN Hotmail with 228 million ; AOL with 50 million and Gmail with 51 million . These add up to 579 million web based email addresses.
Have I read it wrong ?

Google:

o fast
o simple – text links, no need for graphical buttons
o UNCLUTTERED — it really is just focused on mail
o improving all the time

Yahoo:

o My first gripe used to be speed, but it’s gotten MUCH better
o CLUTTERED like mad … there are so many ads and other things it’s so confusing. Yahoo needs a streamlined mail only interface.
o I can’t stand the outlook type layout … ick. I’d rather click and see the e-mail body.

Most of these users are still using the old, tedious, Ajax-free Yahoo Mail and Hotmail user interfaces, requiring page refreshes for every click. The new applications, along with Gmail, offer a much richer experience, much like Outlook or Mac mail. When these webmail clients are performing well, their speed and ease of use is easily as good as a desktop client. [...]

I am very happy that I can use Yahoo Mail Beta. I see the world much smaller with the features that Yahoo gives me. I think I can manage the electronic world where we live in better. I believe we are at the beginning of a revolution in the electronic world. I trust the Yahoo enginners team.

I’m pretty sure that the majority of Mail Beta bashing would be gone if this product was by Google. Apart from some speed issues (it is beta), it’s an amazing product.

It’s over. Yahoo ruined Yahoo Mail for good. If they implement that monstrosity, it would be disastrous for them.

Goodbye Yahoo Email, Hello Gmail!

This post is totally lopsided IMO.

Oh, and as a designer and in terms of interface, yes, YM could give us a little more white space, but the problem with GMail is that text everywhere doesn’t help either. Using the argument that their ads are more subtle, the issue becomes I had to hunt around for relevant buttons and menus because the whole page is text placed everywhere… Nothing stood out.

Bill, I’ve been testing Gmail and the new beta for Yahoo Mail and I’ve figured out why I like Yahoo Mail better: organization.

I know everyone who likes Gmail will go on and on about threads and labels, but to me, I can’t stand looking at a large inbox of emails. I want more order that is visual. For me, and I’m pretty anal, I need things tossed into folders (which YM does great with dragging), and an inbox that is clean and contains only things I need to address soon or haven’t read.

The thread thing is okay but once someone changes the subject line, it’s broken. I don’t often keep threads or conversations around long enough anyway. And the thought of “why bother deleting” is a mental thing for me. I don’t keep around things I don’t need. Perhaps it’s my anti-pack rat personality.

I think YM is doing a great job. The speed is prety much the same, it’s got keyboard shortcuts AND the right click button, address book fill in, Login saving, and connections (for the most part) with its siblings (though I want a direct shot into flickr).
