changing from yahoo to gmail- worth the hassle?

[doncoulter]

Rochelle, I'm puzzled by what you mean when you complain about "Yahoo's so-called news." I use both Yahoo Mail and Gmail, and I don't see any news in either one. (Yahoo News is a separate entity from Yahoo Mail.) I also don't see any ads in either one; if ads bother you, use the Firefox extension Adblock Plus.

fr8as is right about spam. I get about 200 spam emails a week in my Yahoo account, versus 10 or 20 in Gmail.

There are a couple of things Yahoo Mail does better than Gmail, but overall, in my opinion, Gmail wins hands-down. If I were using only one service, I'd go with Gmail. Besides, I wouldn't be surprised if Yahoo goes Tango Uniform one of these days; best to switch before that happens.
