Pros I most like Yahoo Mail’s feature of being able to put emails in folders so that the inbox stays neat and clean.

May 4, 2023 5.0 I would recommend it to anyone as a Gmail alternative who wants Yahoo Mail. My experience is good. Pros An alternative platform for Gmail, such as Gmail, is simple and easy, with many options and features, and provides paid subscriptionsThere is an app over the phone.Professional email can be done.There are some companies that only accept the Yahoo Mail platform. Cons \* Ads appear in messages.\* The user suffers from the problem of continuous automatic closing of the application, as the application requests to close it while working on it, which is a strange and illogical defect, and updates are constantly seeking to solve it, but it is still stuck.\* Some features on the desktop Yahoo Mail app are not available on mobile devices, including reactivating an account after being suspended, sending to a contact list, modifying spam settings, and displaying the full email address.\* If the Yahoo Mail account period has passed, the account will be suspended. Switched from [Gmail](https://www.capterra.com/p/202338/Gmail/) I use Gmail for me because it has advanced features, but this does not mean that I do not use Yahoo Mail. I use Yahoo Mail for other work.

It was great then and still is. Clean interface and easy to navigate with several customization options. Calendar synced with phone. Cons SPAM filter works well, but sometimes non-spam messages are treated as such. Review Source TE Tatiana E.

Cons The layout of the mail dashboard can be a bit confusing. However, once it gets filtered it is easier to navigate through.

Far better than my previous email provider. Pros I like Yahoo for the storage space that it provides, its low cost and its good spam filters. Cons If Yahoo could reduce the number of ads, that would be great. Switched from [Microsoft Outlook](https://www.capterra.com/p/227138/Microsoft-Outlook/) I got too much spam on Outlook. After a while I was spending a lot of time wading through them. Review Source SS Stephanie S. Caregiver Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Yahoo Mail Makes Sorting Emails Easy " April 12, 2023 5.0 My overall experience with Yahoo Mail for the most part is positive. I love the features that Yahoo Mail has and Gmail does not. I still use both platforms but I really do enjoy the nice features that Yahoo Mail has to offer. Pros What I love most about Yahoo Mail is the fact that all of the documents and pictures that you've ever gotten in an email is all in one folder with the email attachment to it. I wish Gmail had this feature but this is really important to me because it's so much easier being able to find documents I need or I can search in the documents folder and find it right there instead of trying to think who sent that email with the documents. Cons Email Monitoring is one thing that Yahoo Mail needs to maybe work on a little, and I only say this because my email had actually gotten hacked and I was completely unaware of this until I go checking my email and I can't get into it. I had my phone number and back-up email on there which had gotten deleted by the hacker, but there definitely should be better security for instances like this. Review Source Orlando Q. Tec Informático Internet Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Yahoo " November 19, 2022 5.0 En general ha sido excelente mi experiencia con Yahoo la recomiendo siempre. Pros Su facilidad de uso lo hace excelente como una forma de mantenerse al día con el correo electrónico personal. También funciona muy bien en todos mis dispositivos, incluidas las computadoras de escritorio, la tableta y el teléfono. Lo encuentro mucho más fácil de usar que Gmail. Cons A veces, los filtros Papelera/Spam eliminan elementos que necesito ver. Sin embargo, esto se está volviendo cada vez menos común, lo cual es una gran mejora. Por supuesto, preferiría no tener anuncios, pero eso no es un problema importante. Review Source JP Jonelle P. Managing Director Consumer Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Yahoo!!!!!! For Yahoo Mail" February 17, 2024 5.0 I have a great daily overall experience with Yahoo mail. I use it daily and its functions just make my day easier. Pros I like yahoo simplicity. It is very user friendly and it helps you to manage your emails better by creating different folders i especially love the shopping folder and news folder. If you want a email where you dont have to scratch your head to understand use yahoo mail you will not regret it. Cons The search engine you have to be very specific with your wording to find whatbyou need. Review Source BS Balaji S. Associate Manager - Program Management Pharmaceuticals Used the software for: 2+ years ### "One of the first email service which I used" July 4, 2022 4.0 Yahoo email is one of the 1st email services which I started to use since 2007. It has very basic features and it was a great option for all us initially. But eventually I have move on to use other email service providers. Now it has all-most all the features which I am using but I am not using it as my primary email service. Pros The compact look of the inbox is some thing which I like most and the quick action icons after selecting any emails is really good option. In other email services, we have more number of such icons, some times its confusing which one use but, in yahoo we can see those common action icons on the top of the inbox Cons The add which appears in the right hand panel is some thing I don't like. At least if they can give the use an option to hide that would be great. And also in the search option they can provide more sub search options. As of now we can search on some three categories, like messages, photos, document. They can add few more options like zip, PDF etc., Switched from [Gmail](https://www.capterra.com/p/202338/Gmail/) I didn't switch, but I am using it as a secondary email option.

I am very pleased and satisfied with my experience using Yahoo mail as my primary email address. Pros I love how customizable and user friendly the app is. Cons I do not like the fact that you pretty much have to delete your emails one by one if you're using your smartphone. Review Source Kristie K. Owner Entertainment Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Outdated but Functional" May 4, 2021 3.0 During the time Yahoo was popular, there was Myspace messenger and AIM messenger. This was when Apple products, Facebook, and Gmail was becoming popular and easy to use. It was time for technology to expand and have people more absorbed into new types of tech software. I used to log into my Yahoo account every day but now, I log into my Gmail account everyday. Yahoo will never be forgotten but it will take a while for it to become as mega popular as Gmail. Google products are now a trend and the company is known worldwide. Pros I used Yahoo when I was younger up until high school because Google was becoming the new trend at that time. I remember using Yahoo to send my first emails to my teachers and school-related assessments. It was free to use the service and the most fun I had was coming up with the usernames. I still have my Yahoo accounts but I have not been logged in for years now. If Yahoo could be like Google and update their services and products, it could make a comeback. Cons Yahoo became oldschool and outdated very quickly when Google was trending at the time. I was in high school when someone I knew created a free Gmail account for me. It was a lot of fun coming up with usernames but Google is more modern with an easier platform to use. From stories, I have heard that some messages on Yahoo don't get delivered. If Google were to receive a wrong email, it would let the user know that the message could not be sent. The service is free but the platform is outdated and it doesn't have a Google Drive function. Alternatives considered [Gmail](https://www.capterra.com/p/202338/Gmail/)[Meta for Business](https://www.capterra.com/p/213257/Facebook/) Reason for choosing Yahoo Mail I chose Yahoo mail because it was free and it was during my studies in elementary school. It was a way for me to communicate with my classmates and my teacher. At the time, Google was not a trend so many of my friends and teachers were using Yahoo to communicate, but it became less popular when I hit high school. High school was when Facebook was trending and many went from emailing to messaging their Internet friends on Facebook. Facebook was a way for people to be less formal, connect, and upload photos to see what they were going through in their personal lives. Review Source مروة عزت ا.

Its use is free, personal, simple and easy. I can use it at anytime during the day securely. Pros Easy for using Free service Scans emails Big storage capacity Easy communication Fast in performance Security of messages Attach large files Cons Spam filters are insufficiently powerful Advertisements Dependent on internet Review Source SpE Sans prenom E. Ceo Internet Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "yahoo mail is the best" June 22, 2022 4.0 Yahoo mail allowed me to expand my network of collaborators and friends. Pros What I liked about this software is the archiving section in the sense that we can move messages from our inbox to archiving to read them later. Cons What I liked least is the fact that when we forget the password for our Yahoo account, associate it with the phone number we had registered, if in addition we have lost this phone number, we have to renew the sim.

Office Services Clerk Legal Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Still keep my Yahoo Mail after all this time" March 1, 2024 3.0 Fairly okay, i still have it because google sometimes does too much. I ike yahoo's layout, and their search function has gotten better over the years, although not perfect. Pros I like that i can still use it for login purposes on social media without messing up my gogl accunts that i have logged in various devices. Its fairly straightforward but also at times, as easy to use as gmail. Cons Not pleased with the amount of spam that slips through the cracks. Many end up in the spam folder, but a lot of phishing ones get through to my main folder because scammers use an account holder name familiar to my, while using some ramdom email.

Hairstylist Consumer Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "The Worst Email Software I Have Used" October 14, 2022 3.0 Overall, my initial experience was decent in the beginning. Over time, the software became worse and more complex to use. I eventually had to switch altogether to another email software because it became unusable at one point. I do not recommend wasting your time with Yahoo mail now. There are better options in my opinion. Pros It has nothing to do with actual functionality of the email app, but I did like the avatar feature on the app! It was a feature they had some years ago. I think they may have gotten rid of it though. It was a fun and cute feature that I have not seen any other email app have. Cons I did not like how emails were always received later than they sent. The dashboard was always super delayed and behind. Review Source Ajit P. Sales Intelligence Executive Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A Very Well-known and oldest Email Service App" February 24, 2022 5.0 I am using Yahoo Mail from long time and still using it. I am really used to it. Just do login with username and password and access and manage mailbox is very to see Inbox, Sent folder, Spam folder, Trash Folder, Draft new email etc. I can write any email and keep it half-done, it automatically goes to Drafts folder and again I can resume that email from draft folder. So like this, there are so many features of yahoo mail are useful. Even we get the notifications of any new email so can get ready to reply urgent emails very quickly. Pros All the features of Yahoo Mail are good. but I like the feature of creating new folder by any name to save important emails, attachments and pictures. Every day i get so many email from various email addresses so by using separate folder, it helps to save selected and important emails and any time I can check those important emails. It helps to avoid deleting any urgent email. I also like Trash folder because when we delete any email by mistake, it does not delete permanently, it goes to trash folder so we can easily search that specific email by name or date and restore it. Thank you Yahoo Mail for being very useful. Cons There are a lot of hacking incidents are going on So as a very important email service app, Yahoo Mail needs to be much more secure with 2 way authentication security like access code or OTP on phone or any installed authentication app to access the mailbox in secured manner. All other features are functioning properly. Review Source QP Quiana P. General manager Food & Beverages Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Very useful " July 13, 2022 5.0 I love yahoo Mail and I wouldn’t trade it for anything else. It works well with my business and it’s very easy to use, it’s self-explanatory. Have not had any issues with yahoo, I have been using Yahoo mail since I was 15 years old. Pros But I like most about the software Is the ability to have shared inboxes and being able to have Spam blocking an email monitoring Cons What I think could be improved is the flagged emails. I noticed sometimes when I feel like an email to go back to it later how to make sure it stays on the top of my email or in a separate file manages to get lost or end up in my junk folder Review Source Robert G. Salesman Printing Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Good Enough" October 7, 2022 3.0 It's been okay but, not great. I use it when I have to but, I sometimes get a little embarrassed giving people my Yahoo email address. To be frank. Pros It works about as well as any other mail software, it's just not vastly different. Cons My main con would be the connotation that Yahoo mail gives others and the people that use it are generally looked upon as archaic, old & outdated. It's similar to how people view AOL, Hotmail or Outlook. Alternatives considered [Microsoft Outlook](https://www.capterra.com/p/227138/Microsoft-Outlook/)[Gmail](https://www.capterra.com/p/202338/Gmail/) Reason for choosing Yahoo Mail It's an email address that I have had for a long time so I kept it. Review Source AP Allen P. Dasher Food & Beverages Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Yahoo Mail Review" July 30, 2022 5.0 Yippee email is one of the first email administrations which I began to use starting around 2007. It has extremely fundamental elements and it was an extraordinary choice for all us at first. However, in the long run I have continue on toward utilize other email specialist co-ops. Presently it has all-most every one of the highlights which I'm utilizing yet I'm not involving it as my essential email administration. Pros "I love the capacity to modify your organizers, as well as your experience backdrop for your email. You can likewise set it up so it informs you when you have any uninitiated messages directly to your desktop. Cons The last thing I like about this product is that it isn't associated like the other email administrations how I'd like it, the product is somewhat isolated from each and every other stage Review Source HW Henry W. CEO Retail Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Functional, but there are better alternatives" October 4, 2021 2.0 Yahoo Mail is the perfect choice for commercial correspondence, but we wouldn't recommend it as primary account for personal or business use. Pros Yahoo Mail offers an incredible amount of storage for email retention, which is why we use it for all of our commercials correspondence. So much storage, that is unnecessary to pay for more. Cons Spam. Yahoo Mail pushes spam on us more so than any and all other email services that we use. We are often required to unsubscribe from unsolicited mail, only to discover that two more have spawned. As such, the email our account retains, the longer the program takes to load on mobile devices. Lastly, Yahoo will often assert itself as the default search engine on our PC devices. Alternatives considered [Gmail](https://www.capterra.com/p/202338/Gmail/) Reason for choosing Yahoo Mail Gmail provides countless tools to manage email correspondence, making it a great choice for our business. However, Gmail does not do well with commercial interest, as it tends to store marketing mail in various locations. For this we need Yahoo, where everything is limited to two automatic inbox folders. Review Source GP Georgiana P. Owner Business Supplies and Equipment Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Why chose Yahoo?" April 10, 2023 5.0 I solved my mail storage with Yahoo and improved my security with the different features Yahoo offers. Pros I love that Yahoo helps manage my emails. It separates my emails into different categories automatically. It separates junk email from unread and even more. The spam blocker, on the other hand, is very connected because it blocker unwanted emails from different sites and senders. When it comes to monitoring what I like best is that I can have my emails in my inbox for as long as I want. Then what I do not want or not using will then be deleted without having to do it every sing time. The search and filter section is very useful and comes in a handle when looking for an email that was sent. Let's talk about the filter session it made my life easy and has everything in order. I can filter all messages when it comes to orders and more. I can also search for one word and all the email that has that word will filter up. Wow, email training is amazing. This feature helps me to see if my customer or anyone to who I send a message opens my email and even if they click on my links. Archiving works hand in hand with search/filter. I can remove an email from my inbox using the archive and can find it quickly back using search. It's like hiding a message or basically keeping it safe instead of deleting it. I can log in to multiple devices and activate my notification. There is no need to go and check the app anymore. I love that I can just click on the notification and it takes me to the email. Cons I love everything about Yahoo. Yahoo is a part of my family. Switched from [Gmail](https://www.capterra.com/p/202338/Gmail/) I made the switch because Yahoo offers better features than google especially the storage offered.

This is an essential beginning to emailing friends to coworkers. I have always liked the quality of service I get on this site, and will continue using Yahoo as long as it still exists in cyberspace. Pros First off, this is the basis when it comes sending an email, especially now. I always like how simple it is to monitor thousand of emails a day. Responding to them has never been hard, and I have had no trouble filtering the urgency as well. Changing the theme is very cool too! Cons Recently I have noticed certain emails showing up from the spam folder even though I never took them away from the folder to begin with. They show up back in my inbox for some reason. I do not like this as I do not want spam showing in my inbox when I just sent them to the spam folder. I do not find cool important emails showing up in the spam folder when they belong in the inbox. The misreading of such emails tiring. Review Source Esther T. Journalist Broadcast Media Used the software for: 2+ years ### "All mails combined software" October 12, 2022 4.0 It hasn't been a very nice one considering features like filtering which don't work properly .I can say it has it's positive and negative sides which needs an improvement. Pros I love so much how one can access their personal mails in any device like phone,desktop. The app has got some customized options for example filtering. Also,it's not very expensive even for starters since they can also access some features without necessarily paying for them. Cons Most of the mails are found in spam folders even for the most important ones. You will only know these after you have waited for so long without a reply and you decide to check it in spam. At times,images in the mails just vanish on their own without a trace.
