Why I don't use Hotmail or Microsoft Windows Live Mail...

First of all, Microsoft sux big time... instead of calling "Hotmail" or "Live mail" or "Microsoft mail", it is called "Microsoft Windows Live Mail"... sux big time.

I just went to mail.live.com and tried to login...
It does not use HTTPS even for login. It is worst than Yahoo email!!!
There is a small link at the end of the page in tiny fonts "Use enhanced security(SSL)".

In 2010, why login page is not secure????

I replaced HTTP with HTTPS in the inbox screen, and got "connection timeout" message.

Both Microsoft mail and Yahoo mail attach advertisement at the end of each email you send from those accounts, how are you supposed to send professional emails from their account? These companies are just pathetic!

I can't tolerate Yahoo mail or Microsoft mail...
These companies are 10 years behind in terms of security, features, and user experience.

I wish these two companies would have merged together back in 2006 and died together.

Microsoft mail is for absolute fools and totally illiterate people...

Why I no more use Yahoo Mail

Ten years back, yahoo was best!
I used to use Yahoo for everything...and it had a wide variety of services - email, news, groups, photo, calendar, ...

But with today's standard it is pathetic.

I was using Google for search since 2000, so when I got an opportunity to get a gmail account in 2004, I didn't waste a minute. But it was in 2006 when I finally moved to gmail as primary email account. And after that the gap between gmail and yahoo mail has widened a lot.

As of today, Aug 7, 2010, there is no way to access emails in my yahoo inbox securely. Gmail has been offering this for years. Let me just put the facts...

Yahoo Mail:
1. Secure Login to desktop browser : always - good
2. Secure Access to emails on a desktop browser: not possible - sux big time
3. Secure Login to mobile browser (iphone safari): not possible - sux big time
4. Secure Access to email from mobile browser: not possible - sux big time
5. Iphone mail client secure login: not possible - sux big time
6. Iphone mail client secure access to emails: not possible - sux big time

Gmail:
1. Secure Login to desktop browser : always - good
2. Secure Access to emails on a desktop browser: always - good
3. Secure Login to mobile browser (iphone safari): always - good
4. Secure Access to email from mobile browser: always - good
5. Iphone mail client secure login: always - good
6. Iphone mail client secure access to emails: always - good

Of course, there are more than one hundred reasons other than those listed above why I no more use yahoo mail. Like...

• No distracting ads: gmail yes, yahoo sux
• No flash ads: gmail ys, yahoo sux
  
• More space for emails: gmail yes, yahoo sux
