I have found Yahoo Mail very easy to use, Yahoo Mail also provides a news feed and features essential for mail. I have found it very easy to get with and work with clients through Yahoo Promotion.

Pros

Yahoo Email is quick, manageable, spam-filtered, and easy to maintain. Yahoo Mail is safer to send with data integrity and safer attachments.
Yahoo mail is quick, spam-free, and simpler. I have found Yahoo mail to be more filtered for marketing emails sent requiring whitelisting.

Cons

Yahoo Email lacks some advanced features that are found in Gmail or other vendor emails. Unlike Office365, it doesn't provide much user/policy and admin experience.

Alternatives Considered

Gmail

Reasons for Switching to Yahoo Mail

Simpler to use for basic email features.

Fairly okay, i still have it because google sometimes does too much. I ike yahoo's layout, and their search function has gotten better over the years, although not perfect.

Pros

I like that i can still use it for login purposes on social media without messing up my gogl accunts that i have logged in various devices. Its fairly straightforward but also at times, as easy to use as gmail.

Cons

Not pleased with the amount of spam that slips through the cracks. Many end up in the spam folder, but a lot of phishing ones get through to my main folder because scammers use an account holder name familiar to my, while using some ramdom email.

Right now we use it simultaneously with Gmail. Unfortunately I can only open yahoo mail at the office on wifi.

Pros

It has been a primary email for me and my company for years. It has always been up. Never experienced a server downtime.

Cons

It is too heavy. It needs a very strong internet connection and gobbles data. For us in a third world country with expensive internet, that is a problem.

Pros

Basic, free, credible email provider. Consistent over the years and convenient to have for yahoo fantasy football (it’s a whole thing)!

Cons

I don’t have any specific complaints about the platform. My issue is that most people have gmail, so it’s convenient for things like video calls/ meetings to just use google meet.

Overall experience is great and I’m enjoying the tonnes of email management features and cool themes for emails as well.

Pros

Yahoo mail is always reliable in my day to day email management tasks. I use it as a personal email and I also have another email for work. It’s smooth it’s easy. The app interface is really easy to use and modern. The homepage enables you as well to skim through some news before accessing my email. I’m using yahoo as well as a primary browser launcher in my laptop and tablet. It’s really good and I’m enjoying it.

Cons

Yahoo mail is very fluid and easy to use

Reviewed on 29/5/2024

Pros

Yahoo mail can be accessed on just about any device. It's great and user friendly on computers, laptops, tablets, phones and even smart watches. You can be notified and respond within mere seconds. It also allows you to be logged in on multiple devices, for example the entire office could be logged into the same account and be able to respond to customers promptly.

Cons

The only con I would have is that it doesn't automatically log you out when you close the box. You have to go in and actually logout. So, just simply closing the box doesn't close you out of the email. You are still logged in once someone launches the browser.

Pros

I do like the fact that it is easy to use, and easy to create an email account.

Cons

A lot of scammers use a Yahoo email address. It does not always inspire trust when I see an email coming from a Yahoo email address. It is my secondary email address, because of this particular reason, it "lacks" (maybe unfairly) of serious, because of all the scamming. Perhaps a rebranding should be necessary, I dont think Yahoo deserves the not so good reputation or the fear users like me have, because of all the bad experiences we had.
