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
• No ads on email front page: gmail yes, yahoo sux
• More space for your emails in the browser: gmail yes, yahoo sux
  
• Fast web client: gmail yes, yahoo sux
• No clunky web interface: gmail yes, yahoo sux
• Simple interface: gmail yes, yahoo sux

• Access emails using POP3 and IMAP: gmail yes, yahoo sux
• First one to give GBs of space and keep updating UIs: gmail yes, yahoo sux
• Does not attach ads at the end of the email: gmail yes, yahoo sux
  

Yahoo mail is a big time sucker...

Yahoo mail is for fools and illiterate people...
