You r right. But opening a new gmail id is very dificult process.
U can't create a new id without an existing id.

i think its yahoo mail which is better first i also believe that gmail is quick and good competitor to its counterparts but nowadays its to having some problems like not more than 5 mb file is loaded into gmail whereas in yahoo u can load it and also now mail takes time to reach your gail account like in yahoo but yahoo has more benefits than gmail and is the better one

Both are quite good in their own ways. If you are looking for larger mail box space try gmail, its got more than 2.8 gb space as compared to yahoo's 1 gb. Though if you want better enhancements to your mailbox like organizing mails into different folders then get a yahoo mailbox as gmail has not got that extra facility as yet. Yahoo uses norton internet security for scanning viruses in the mails which is a well known anti virus application. So just look at your needs and choose the mail service to your choice.

I would recommend Gmail over Yahoo because Gmail has a bigger storage space than Yahoo. The spam filter in Gmail is very reliable too. So I choose Gmail to be the better email between the two.

well i would certainly prefer Gmail as
1) Gmail is Faster
2) Has got more storage
However, gmail stores all the users mail and it could also be termed as spying so be cautious about it.

Acording to me , gmail is better as it has high capacity inbox. Also it has a differnt folder for spam which automatically detects it and transfers it to ur spam folder. While in yahoo, u get all spams and ur important mails in ur inbox as well as in ur bulk mail. Also if u by mistake delete ur important mail frm bulk folder it is gone, u won't find it in trash. So according to me , gmail is best.

Personally, I think both are great, but for security reasons, etc. I think gmail is better.
You have a much larger capacity, and there are chat options to chat with people who have a gmail email and that you have on your email address list. I love that feature.
All you have to do is get someone to send you an invitation. Once you start using it, you will then get 100 invitations that you can send out. It's not that difficult, and as far a security and functionality, I thing gmail is by far the best.

I think it is the yahoo which is better.
Because creating a new id is very easy in yahoo than gmail.
Because u have to first get an invite from anybody to open an id in gmail.

Yahoo every time. You need a gmail account if you use blogger, but as an email account it is really difficult to organise. For example you cannot sort the posts by sender or topic (as you can in any other system). So it is really hard to get rid of unwanted mail fast.

Both Yahoo and gmail is very good. I have an account for both. Of course yahoo was first. You can open a yahoo account anytime. But for gmail, It is through invitation for you to sign-up that was during the time I open my gmail account. I think it is still the same until now. For the capacity gmail has larger capacity. You don't need to delete your mail always. Now, I used gmail frequently and considered as my permanent email. I like also the mail forwarding option of gmail wherein I my gmail messages are fowarded to my personal email in my work.
