Best Email Service · DIGIT-ARC

T

Which is the BEST Email Service, according to you ?

For me, GMail coz it is fast, NO ADS (small text ads doesnt matter)

RULE : State the reason after you vote

I use gmail now. I dont like yahoo anymore. Yahoo has too many ads and that new mail interface sucks big time!

GMail of course..!

Always GMail. But I use the thunderbird client in linux and xp. Also use Apple Mail in Mac OS X Leopard. So Choosing a provider does not make so much difference.

C

Another gmail user

the poll is in itself evident as more than 90% of the people favor gmail.

Yahoo

Because of option to turn off the Spam filter !!!

mine vote to windows live..
Ater it upgrade to windows live hotmail..it is really 200% more better.

I use gmail hotmail yahoomail zapakmail indiatimesmail rediffmail lol which 1 to choose

Yahoo Works Best for me
bcoz of Instant Notification from its Messenger

other like live, rediff, gmail are ok

and about Zapak (only good for gaming)

P

gmail lacks the tabs inside the browser window(which yahoo have)...but i still love gmail

T

More VOTES

Yes, Windows Live Mail is nice but nothing can beat GMail

GMail wins hands down.

gmail ftw! none can match it.

Gmail....... Its easy, fast, simple and the best.
Moreover it has 20MB attachment limit.......

yahoo

Gmail FTW!see what window$ mail got in the poll :lol:

I have enabled Java as well as javascript but even then Gmail doesn't work well, though new versions of yahoo, rediff, hotmail work fine. Sometimes I have to retry many times to login . And hardly I have been able to log out of it in one try

T

Now, GMail seems to be popular coz of its speed, simple interface and pop3 etc

Those who have NOT voted please vote.

GMail of course !!

But don't know, why it's still in Beta ??

The problem with gmail is that all Orkut friends can send you their forward and junk mail. So I prefer using www.bluebottle.com for serious work and gmail or rediff for websites which seem to collect email address compulsorily or when it sounds like a scam!

T

I use 10 minute mail for registering @ websites.. so i dont get any Spam

GMail anyday,
Although AOL mail is starting to look good.

Open your mail....and click on attachment file.

C

Gmail is the best

Its yahoo for me
becoz allows .exe attachment, has full options in basic html interface, supports html signatures,better upload speed for me (Bsnl 500), Ads not a problem for me(using ff+ad block)....for these yahoo is better for me.

gmail lacks these^^^ options

T

Yahoo gives disposable email addresses which gmail doesn't but overall gmail with its older version is best. New version is slower

Gmail 2.0 has a slower startup , but once you enter in gmail 2.0 , it is lightining fast .

Gmail 1.0 has faster startup

Moreover imap support .

Gmail released their gresemonkey API too for developers

Gmail display ads , only text , but some firefox extention block that too (will not mention here , i have not disabled option of ads on in gmail )

Gmail is veryyyyy simple

even my 3 year old daughter can use

+1 to gmail

V

+1 gmail

i use hotmail, gmail and rediffmail; but rediffmail is my favourite. never face any problem with rediffmail with my slow connection.

V

belive it or not gmail has become the best service manily due to "chatting inside gmail" and "seeting Outlook Express for free"....!! *gigasmilies.googlepages.com/32a.gif

+1 Gmail...

the apple mail... tho it ain't free...

WTF??????

Yahoo, Rediff and many other email services provide integrated chat in webmail interface. The interface of yahoo is more like a desktop mail client.

I vote for gmail too because I like it's interface. One minor irritant I have with it is that it takes a long time to upload files. Others seem to do it faster. Don know if it's only me who feels this way.

Email Conversations, Labels, POP3 access, support for extensions, integration with G!Talk, Google Docs AND 20 MB attachments to other gmail ids?? In my opinion...autowin for Gmail!

T

Mods PLEASE delete post number 41,43,44,45,46,47,48,49,50,51 and 52 of this thread as they r OFFTOPIC and useless discussion

I am wondering that who'll be the first one to vote for Zapak Mail as the best e-mail service.

T

^^ State the reason y u voted for a particular service also

i have an *aol.in account and i feel its gr8!

I use rediffmail Windows LIVE Mail yahoomail and abhi abhi aol.in pe register kiya

Rediffmail mein E-Mail Search option nice hai

Windows LIVE Mail best hai mere liye

Yahoomail pe emails kam aate hai ads jyada ati hai

Ok, must have missed it.

Nothing beats GMail

you can use '+' sign in gmail for using your email as disposable email. and can track the spam, and then filter it.
e.g. amitshahc+office@gmail.com

I also find the new version of gmail slower.

But how would you send mail from that disposable address? As far as I know, its not possible with Gmail but possible with Yahoo

Gmail, although yahoo's new interface has improved a lot and is more stable now.

L

Also, in gmail, I wish there was this option. In directing mails to particular labels and skipping inbox, I wanted the mails to be not shown as New. Instead as read (if I desire for certain labels). Hope I explained clearly.

T

you can select the option to mark all and then u can click on the option Mark as READ

L

I guess every1 knows it. That is why I wanted to automate it. Because, I subscribe to certain newsletters, dictionary word of the days and I dont find time to read them and I find it irritating to see "new mail notification of these numbers on the side of the labels". So, I would prefer this option.

A

asnvin said:

yes buddy you are right. that's why i also prefer for yahoo for disposable email service. gmail trick is only for tracking and filtering the mails.

I am with Windows Live Mail, It has got many new features, specially that skydrive one.

I like Yahoo Mail as it is fast and simple.

J

hotmail only work with windows live mail ,but Gmail work with any client you like.
and if i'm not wrong free yahoo mail won't support pop3 unless you use yahoo.co.uk

Yahoo mail is my pick. been using it for a decade and just can't move to gmail or any other mail service.

i have been using all of these email services but the most which i like is Yahoo. this is because it is fast and has never caused any of the problem be it i use for official mail as well as personal use.

^How contradictory!

i had my first email account at gmail and i'm sticking with it. i dont like changing my address.

K

Anyone tried AOL mail?
Kind of a flashier version of Yahoo, and yes it does suck pretty badly

IMHO
Gmail Is TEH

best email service

S

I don't use email.mujhe baharatiya daak sevaon par pura bharosa hai

Gmail ftw!

L

Yes, of course Gmail... but I wonder when they will improve this Gtalk!! :-|

Rediff here. No clutter.

Gmail, because interface looks cool.

Gmail ofcourse. It was the first to offer bulk space when all other service were offering a mere of 10-20 MB. It has the simplest and the fastest interface. Its mail forwarding feature helps you maintain multiple email account with one account.

I like Yahoo and gmail both .

I like yahoo for its interface and its email filter. The filters really save your time to delete the spams.

And gmail for its design(i like gmail type of designs than eye candies) , text ads, and many more .

Google Apps FTW

*www.thinkdigit.com/forum/showthread.php?t=90955

Gmail spam filter is the best

No not exactly. The mail service with the less spam is .mac
But I don't use it. I use Gmail. It is fast, easy to use and there are no ads. But it is a little bare bones kind. There are also no themes

+1 for gmail

GMail since the day I got one. Was using Yahoo earlier, also hotmail. Now only GMail and occassionally Yahoo to clear up my inbox (all the mail would only be from Yahoo! Group).
Spam management is better than any other mail service. Rarely does a spam come to my Inbox and I have lost no genuine mail to spam.

Gmail all the way...the best and the lightest!

Reminds me of a blog post I made recently

Moving from the best email service ever, to the one that royally kicks its ass!
After what has been four years of awesome email service from Gmail, I am finally making the switch. What oh what might you ask is better than Gmail? Say hello to MobileMe.

Heheh. I guess I will never give up my spamming habits.

Me neither.

gmail

Yeah! Gmail!!!

Gmail My Choice. Now lock this thread

B

Features in Gmail is ahead of any mail service present today. It is fast, easy and don't eat my brandwidth with IMG adds. MOst what i love is it's chatting.

T

The only thing that I miss in gmail is absence of folders.
One plus point in terms of security is the recently introduced feature that allows you to see the details of your last login( including type of login , time and date of login and IP address. Find more here: *mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?ctx=gmail&answer=45938 ). You can logout of gmail from one computer(say home computer, if you forgot to do so or due to security reason) from any other computer in the world connected to the net.

M

Gmail FTW!!!

K

Gmail

I wonder though, does anyone really use Zapak mail and all those other things that they advertise on TV?

^^I dont think so.
Alexa says here in India, Zapak is 53rd.
Other stuff which are advertised like BigAdda and Ibibo(i dont know if they have a decent mail service) are not in the top 100..

I've used many email services but i have switched over to Gmail since I found it more efficient than others. Plus, I am not being spammed in Gmail at all. Gmail has a cleaner and neater interface. The only thing I guess i miss in creating my own floders in my Gmail account.

R

Gmail. Simplicity is d best. Its a sophisticated email system with simple interface.

G

Earlier, i was a fan of Gmail. but now, i think windows live is miles ahead, both in looks and performance. the voice chat has great clarity. appearance is really appealing.

T

^^You forgot to mention flash ads where live is thousands of miles ahead of gmail

GMAIL rocks though I am getting a lot of spam not filtered and going straight to my inbox

V

gmail and what is this zapak mail-lol

T

^Zapak mail has a very good advertising but to my surprise everyone hates it LOL
Google Apps are d best.

hay man....its only and only gmail........ obviously....it provides a free pop3...

T

GMail is the fastest,simplest and has the most features.

Simplicity of gmail makes it a winner.

I have used premium services such as Bluebottle Premium and also freemail services like Yahoo, Gmail, Hotmail, Bluebottle(freemail).

But I am most satisfied with my my own mail hosting account. I can make as many as aliases and get whatever@mydomain.com. Moreover no footer or ads in emails which makes it suitable for formal use too.

T

rohan_shenoy said:

Gmail doesn't insert any ad either.

T

Yes GMail doesnt, Also with google apps you can create s many as aliases and get whatever@mydomain.com
Only some text ads in corner of your inbox but u can prevent them using adblocks

So GMail ROCKS!

friends, I prefer Live mail, becoz for that I dont need to open my browser after installing WindowsLive mail on my PC. Is is much faster and much improved then any other. Offer online file storage, interconnected with many sites. For sheer speed, I request all of you to compare any mail service with Indiatimes. It will bring any opponent to knees in speed.

Gmail is the best

^^What a bumping Setji

GMAIL is the one for me. GMAIL is the the best.

GMail 133
Yahoo! Mail 32

GMail FTW !!

Yahoo Mail

0 for Zapak mail till now

The poll says it all, Gmail FTW!!

Go Gmail! Yeah!

A

Hotmail has quite recently improved a lot but still it lacks the no of features provided by Gmail. Hence, for the current senario Gmail is definitely the best.

R

Gmail is best but now it is giving some problem when i login , i have refresh two times...

Yahoo , i don't receive email even after one day....

@ aura - now that's bump

I am facing issue with yahoo as rohit said from dec 2008

I've faced some minor issues with gmail but it's still in beta

^^It's been in Beta since 5 years

I think It's a little excuse for any kind of glitch

God only knows when they will upgrade it to final version

Since the last four months after I voted for GMail, it only has got better and better and I don't see any problem with any features.

I wonder why Yahoo went for the boring Outlook look for its new appearance. Yuckoo!

anyone use in.com?
I really liked it-fast,simple and nice features

gmail seems to be really quick & stable than others...sometimes windows live tends to get really really slow...

GMail is plain awesome!

geemail

GMail.... Do you want reasons..Take anyone from above.... :-D

T

So GMail is the winner here and omg no one uses Zapak..btw these days i see too much of in.com advertisements,but I used it;they provide bad service

i think,poll is not necessary for monopoly..8)

LIVE Hotmail.....surely rocks!

I use Windows Live Essentials with WINDOWS Live Services and I found them doing really excellent excellent work.
Live Messenger is used by my family to communicate on windows systems with others in US. The video clarity is simply superb so is the voice communication. Better than Yahoo Messenger.
All services are good and is a must try.

I think finally Microsoft are to gain from their internet services...

I also expect KUMO to give a big fight to google search engine and the new browser from MS that succeeds IE8 should be in par with Firefox and Opera.

Good times for Microsoft ahead in Internet field. Finally they have realized from their mistakes but i think they unnecessarily wasted the time these many years.......

A

Windows Live Mail here for my first preference. I agree with vamsi360; The Windows Live Services are getting very, very good......and the best thing about my experience with Windows Live Mail is the surprisingly low amount of spam I get on it compared to Yahoo or GMail. I would take Lycos Mail (*mail.lycos.com) as my second priority; it doesn't offer a lot in the way of services but is unintrusive, relatively spam free and gets the job done pretty well.

Well...according to me Yahoo! Mail is the best because its very fast and its got unlimited storage!

T

Yes,Windows Live Services are indeed getting better and better in terms of Quality,but due to the advertisements and heavy site design (The themes are cool but too heavy) I select Google Apps- The Power of Simplicity..Gets the job done ..what else you need

W

Gmail is the best to use as it is very fast

V

Easier Interface in Yahoo! Though Gmail is also good but i have been using yahoo since 6 years so i like it.

R

Gmail is best , fast ...Yahoo pe to 2-3 ghante baad email milte hai.....Now it has improved to some extent..

yahoo - I am not able to delete my drafts .... i don't know y ? If i delete all drafts one will remain everytime...

^^ very true. I've got an important mail after 1 day!! but problem is solved with yahoo now.

BTW, gmail is not completely error free. Gmail some time just can not show mails in the default view type & it suggests to switch to html view. So I've to do it it too see a mail.
But hey, it's still in the beta stage

( I think it will be forever ) so all of us have to live with this samll glitches

A

Gmail > 9/10
Yahoo > 8.5/10
Hotmail > 8.5/10
Zapak > 0/10 :lol:

GMAIL ROCKS, It has the best features too.

Yahoo is good but it falls back in terms of Speed

Hotmail is equally good but it doesn't support mail forwarding to other Emails(Gmail/Yahoo etc.)

Is AOL in the options?????

A

Gmail is the best-simple,clean and ultra fast

H

Gmail for sure.........

Microsoft Live mail is any time better then Gmail as gmail is many times slow to deliver mail, live mail is instant. Tried many times. :grin:

Y

Windows LIVE Mail is very good.

Aol Mail using it from last 7 years

What a BUMP!!!
No doubt, Gmail ranks first and Yahoo second!

H

I find GMail ugly! I prefer Hotmail and Yahoo any day.

But that does not waste your bandwidth either - I'm talking about the basic HTMl look.

I like it a lot. It's like using a console for mail and has no distraction. It's just has most basic features you need

i have in rediffmail, its so n so, i prefer gmail

C

Last Page

I join told all above.

Yahoo Mail + Messenger both r good

I also use gmail & gtalk
their a big prob in gtalk for online frnds their r 2 option
1) most common or 2) all
in 1st only common frnds appears online and lots of time i miss and cant see many of my online frnds even if they r online

2) in 2nd the list goes too long that i need 2 scroll which is also irritating

instead in Yahoo just press show only online friends and it works fantastically

easy of Use

gtalk dosent hav Video Chat instead u need to login from Gmail that too s**ks
and in Yahoo Messenger it runs very fine

So Overall Yahooooooooooooooo !

M

i guess yahoo doesnt support free imap and pop3 protocols now.....but gmail does

^^ There is nothing to guess - yahoo does not offers imap or pop3 access in it's free mail service but gmail offers both of them and it's a very useful feature.

Yahoo offers pop3 access in it's free mail service.

I know there are some smart apps exists which enables us to access yahooo mail account as pop3 but yahoo mail's free version does not supports this.

Yahoo was giving this facility to it's free users around 4 years back but now they don't offers this feature in their free mail version anymore.

To get pop3 access you need to subscribe to yahoo mail plus which is $19.99 per year

( take a look at the link and everything will be clear )

*overview.mail.yahoo.com/enhancements/mailplus

^Gmail gives it for free right? IIRC, POP3 is old, IMAP is the new thing, which is supposedly better, right?

Don't know about you but my account still allows pop3 access

*img192.imageshack.us/img192/8636/13808500.jpg

Here's the setting of pop3 access in yahoo mail

*img710.imageshack.us/img710/8905/16512804.jpg

^^ yup, looks like you are getting pop3 access but for some strange reason I'm not

But I don't care much either as I have gmail

@ krow - yup, imap is better than pop3 . Take a look @ here and

*www.imap.org/imap.vs.pop.brief.html

Best way is Mozilla Thunderbird. You can integrate it into Gmail using POP3 and IMAP. When I was using it, I could download my whole inbox into my PC. :lol:

there is same available for gmail too
gmail driver, download your inbox to your pc

M

i use opera's inbuild email client and i have configured it to use gmail imap protocol

Gmail ---------------> 10/10
Yahoomail ----------> 9/10
Hotmail -------------> 9/10
Rediffmail ----------> 5/10
ZapakMail ----------> -10/10

Gmail ...... because Its simple .... opening a new Google account is also simple as you dont have to answer too many questions .

GMail is the obvious choice
Free POP3/IMAP access, great UI... who else give it for free

Gmail....Large storage, Many features, Light, Fast everything for free....!!

Gmail tops the list of mine

I used Eudora for years...switched to Thunderbird...this was a good choice for me...lotsa features...if your using firefox even better...but waint until you try to uninstall incredimail and it's search engine.. good luck! if you don't know how to work in the registry, I just finally got rid of mine and I put it on by mistake

^^ this thread is about best e-mail service provider not about best e-mail client apps

GMAIL is the BEST!!!!!!!!

GMAIL ftw

hmm... another bumped thread. :S

gmail FTW...

I'd say there's tough competition between GMail and Yahoo. But HTTPS throughout the session in GMail and new apps made it surge ahead of Yahoo! Though yahoo has unlimited storage compared to GMail's 7GB, I've never used that much storage...lol.

gmail for sure....and the priority inbox feature works for me....

gmail is the best hai koi shak

Gmail:

Most secure, most customisable, max features [Gmail Labs], awesome email mgmt, best contact mgmt, nested labels, good filter options, etc, etc, etc... The best in every way [except that it kinda eats a bit more bandwidth compared to Rediffmail, which is almost feature-less! But, Gmail html-view can solve it for the dail-up & GPRS users.]

Yahoo & hotmail suck big time, and so does Rediffmail!

For me , Gmail and Yahoo tie.
Why?
Gmail- we cant send exe and no unlimited storage

Yahoo- so many darn ads.
