Why we prefer email forwarding to Gmail or Yahoo! Mail

Monday, February 18th, 2008
  1. It’s absolutely FREE. No explanations needed.
  2. It’s more reliable. Let’s face it! Google and Yahoo! have a far better server infrastructure than any web hosting company. Besides, when was the last time that you we’re not able to access your Gmail and your Yahoo! Mail that are NOT due to poor internet connection? Never!
  3. You’re more familiar with it. It’s a lot better than all the web mail alternatives like Horde & SquirrelMail. We use Google Mail or Yahoo! Mail everyday. I bet we can all use it even with our eyes closed. Moreover, both these email companies spends millions & millions of dollars just to keep enhancing the user experience for these email facilities.
  4. It has a much bigger space. Google Mail has a 6GB free space and increasing. I believe Yahoo! Mail has an unlimited space.
