Yahoo mail actually ranks first only in the USA, these days most people settle for gmail accounts. One of the reasons is its compatibility with mobile devices.
Even in the US, many people are switching over to gmail.

People no longer use yahoomail nowadays cuz of spam msg. Google is more reliable

Imagine my yahoomail being filled with 1000 spam in 2 days after deleting 10,253 spam msg last week...

Ranks007: As far I am concern GMAIL is the world's best email facility. The ideas and technical know to aid certain circumstances unknown to the providers of its importance was all invested in gmail where as those little things lacking in yahoo and Hotmail.

The list below;

1. Auto Saving of texts just in case of power outage.
2. Using a phrase you can remember to search an old email
3. Basic alternative to access your inbox just in case you have slow connection
4. Security - Notifying you of any unfamiliar IP just in case you logged into your account from an unusual location
5. Statement of your account activity grin
6. Unlimited Space.
7. Section dedicated for your documents
8. Less stressful registration form but uses phones numbers to authenticate genuine users

That's what I can remember now. Gmail initiated all the above interestingly I had had similar ideas by intuition of how an yahoo or hotmail should have restructured the email interface usage to meet that taste of satisfaction. Any day anytime I am down for a Google technology!

True talk you said it all - I f**ing hate yahoo emails full of junk and not mobile friendly these days with gmail - and hotmail am sure they are reliable

Not impressed. "G" has monopolized much of the internet as far as popular sites and thus has forced many of the users or visitors to sign up to fully enjoy them. I cannot read certain articles, visit websites that were once "free to roam" or even have a youtube account without having to go through "G".

Most ppl i know who are habitual web surfers such as myself, have two + g. accounts because of this.

Its big business for them but annoying to me.

YOU ARE RIGHT ANYBODY USING YAHOOMAIL THESE DAYS IS TAKING RISK. POOR SERVICE EVERY TIME ESPECIALLY THE CAPTCHA CODE ISSUE YOU ENTER FOR ALMOST 100 TIMES AND IT WONT WORK WHEREBY YOU MAY LOOSE ACCOUNT AS RESULT OF THAT. PHONE CAN NOT ACCESS YAHOO EASILY.

i must honestly admit that gmail has evolved positvely in recent times. Yahoo mail used to be my number one but lately their mobile service has been nothing to write home about- pretty annoying, in fact. Hotmail on the other hand has become a rather pathetic lot. Gmail, however, gets better by the minute.
Re: Gmail Beats Hotmail To Become World Largest Email Provider by tzars(m): 9:46am On Nov 03, 2012
Why dem no go overtake others? All andriod fones gat to be registered with a gmail account and with the explosion of andriod fones users, your guess is as good as mine.
