I've been using Yahoo! for quite a while, but after reading this thread I set up a Gmail account. I have to say I really like Gmail a lot.
Okay, are you serious? That's like asking, which would you rather have: a $10,000 dollar bill or a 50? piece.
Gmail is astronomically better than Yahoo.
I used Yahoo Mail for several years, and then in April of 2004 I switched to Gmail. It is superior in every way. There is no tradeoff.
1. Spam. In the past 5 years, I have received about 10 spam messages in my Inbox. Gmail has caught the rest. I've had exactly 1 message that was NOT spam, marked as spam. So ~11 messages incorrectly flagged in 5 years.
2. Storage. With Gmail, you don't ever delete your old emails. You just "Archive" it, and it gets sent into the "All Mail" folder. This folder has (you guessed it) all your mail. You don't have to worry about "Do I delete this to save space? What if I need this email later?" Gmail gives you tons of storage--so just archive it, then you have it in case you need it.
3. Search. Instead of sorting your emails into folders so you can browse to them more easily later, you just search. Gmail searches your email ridiculously fast.
Fix that quote Ivan. And yes, that is priceless! Hehe.
How's push Gmail working for you?
I'm actually using my MobileME account now. I just extended my contract. I've forwarded my GMail to it, and using GMail's SMTP to reply to emails. It works perfectly...
Gpush is now active in the App store. Seems to work pretty well
