livinthailandos Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 I am hoping some of you out there can help me with this or share experience with me on this matter, let me give you my experiences and problems with both only with yahoo and hotmail, never really tried gmail but its pretty much looking like there the better provider from my understanding 1. Recieving and getting emails, I've definetly noticed this with more of a problem with hotmail than yahoo mail, how so many different times I can send a email to a hotmail account & yahoo account and either a. hotmail does not recieve it or b. it comes a day later c. at least yahoo mail I get my mail all the time and its never late 2. Loading times on email 1. hotmail wins here straight out, at least when i do get my email at least the page loads in a good time 2. yahoo lately constantly has loading problems, sometimes it even stops or doesn't load at all, Mind you I have TT&T Maxnett Primer Package 2 MB. I can only thing that i can possibly think of between yahoo and hotmail is the location of the email server and server related issues involving recieving, storing email. 1. Need your experiences with gmail, hotmail, yahoo mail 2. are you experiencing same problems like me or am i the only one 3. regarding gmail, I was under the impression you could use thunderbird with gmail, as long as you have a gmail account, you can send your gmail to thunderbird Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supernova Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 All the services you've listed work just fine for me; no issues to speak of. However, I do agree hotmail is slow in receiving mail. I have to wait anywhere from a few minutes to an hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surface Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 Hotmail is slower with getting the mail to your inbox. Gmail is instant from my experience. Haven't used yahoo in many years. Gmail + Thunderbird works well for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolf5370 Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 I second Supernova - Hotmail is sloooooow (can be very slow at rendering here too I find). GMail is probably best if you post to YouTube as they are now in bed together (and a real pain in the arse that is). I use HM and GM almost exclusively. On my main PC I use IMAPI via Outlook as MaxNet (now TTT) seems to have the GMail Pop3 ports blocked, but ImapI works just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joskydive Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 I have Hotmail and Gmail because on many occassions I have not recieved an email from another Hotmail user to my Hotmail account. however, I can recieve it in my Gmail account. I've also replied to a Hotmail message and that person has not recieved my message either. I also cannot find the reply I wrote in the Sent items box either. It's really wierd and I don't know why it happens but it does and I thought it was just me too! Gmail, I've had no problems yet!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beggar Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 I have Yahoo and Gmail. Yahoo is good since I can use pop with Yahoo Asia for free now (with Eudora or whatever). Gmail was great with Eudora but for the last weeks I get endless timeouts and get tired of it. In addition to this the online inbox drives me crazy with the sort order there.

YouYouYou Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 Had a Hotmail Acc. since 1999 ... no probs, tried Yahoo lotsa probs (dumped 3 years now). never tried Gmail but have a Thai friend who sends me hijacked E-mails from a chinese IT company LOL. Mmm ..happy with hotmail ...I think in 10 years with em, less than 10 EE's have gone astray and no hijacks ...Hotmail, I'm good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hansnl Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 (edited) Since living in Thailand I dumped yahoo.uk account and hotmail. Now only use Gmail, works just fine. Chat is possible, the number of add's is widened every time. Most of them useful. Attachment size and number is very useful. I send, on a regular basis, developed, compressed and encrypted "things" to a company in Holland, and they always arrive "clean". Some can be rather big (10-15 MB), never a problem. The upload time depends on the "speed of the day" Edited September 19, 2009 by hansnl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xen Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 I give GMail the thumbs up too. I have it linked with my Outlook account with Optus in Oz so when i am travelling or away from my house i can still check e-mails that are sent to either account. I think u can link multiple accounts with gmail. Also GMail does not treat me like an adolescent girl with all that crap the other two tend to add on like latest celeb gossip. Both Hotmail and Yahoo piss me off in that way. I use Hotmail for any site that i will likely generete spam from and Yahoo because that is the only way i can view Flickr. The do serve a purpose !!!

EffectiveAnger Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 I've been using yahoo mail since it first came out over ten years ago and never had a problem until they tried to improve with the 'new' email. I switched back to the classic and it's much better. I also have gmail, hotmail and other msn mail accounts, which I rarely ever use anymore. I don't like the way they are set up. Maybe you are using yahoo's 'new' email and I would suggest switching it back to classic. It's easy to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petbon Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 Gmail was the first to give heaps more storage. Only hassle is that it keeps emails to and fro like a serial which can be a nuisance as some incoming UNREAD emails can end up in the "sent" mail and I'd not realised that some I'd not read. Yahoo also offers options .... @ymail.com and [email protected] which gives more scope if wanting to use a particular name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hermanus Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 Gmail is for me the number One. I used many years Yahoo and I still use it as a back-up. Gmail is much faster and in relation to their new browser Google Ghrome its excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noudb Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 Gmail has been having some problems recently when using it with the firefox browser (slow or not at all loading, attachments do not work etc) using it with the google chrome browser makes it work extremely fast and reliable. However I still use all Yahoo, hotmail and gmail, but for quick delivery of mail gmail is the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
