  • So, I don't generally like change. I have a good deal of nostalgia. And I'm probably unnecessarily loyal.

    So I've refused to give up my Yahoo! E-mail account for years now. Despite how slow it runs, despite it's affinity for delivering my spam to my inbox and (when not doing that) moving my actual mail to my bulk folder - I've refused.

    However, now I can't even search through my mail past the last month. What's the point of being able to store 20,000 E-mail messages if I can't even look at them?

    On the other hand, there's my gmail. It's always run fast, it easily allows me to transfer all my mail in my Yahoo! account to my gmail account, plus just a host of other useful services. I've been lax to give more service to such a giant company but...they know what the Hell they're doing and they do it well. As for which is the better server...gmail easily wins.

    So, goodbye Yahoo!

    I will sorely miss you.

     

    *edit*: Yahoo! updated their layout and it runs so much faster, looks beautiful, and is a wonderful interface. You've restored my faith.
