It is one of the applications I use daily, and I spend at least an hour replying to or sending messages. I find it more reliable in record-keeping, and I solve work issues by simply digging out old emails. That's why I say it's like e an old friend you want to have around all the time. Pros Yahoo Mail It is free and easy to use. It has everything you need to maintain a healthy inbox, blocking spam, archiving files, and automating and managing messages. You can create your contacts list and send and receive communication with speed. It is suitable for use on cell phones and computers and allows for a shared inbox, making life at work easier. Cons Sometimes I get ads for random things, and most of them I don't like or find unappealing, and that's irritating. Review Source AV Aparecido V.

April 20, 2022 5.0 My experience with Yahoo Mail has been very positive, it solved all my problems related to important emails that are easily and organized. I also feel very safe using this service that takes great care of my data and information. I'm actually very grateful and plan to continue using Yahoo Mail for a long time. Pros What I like most about Yahoo Mail is the perfect organization. Inbox, spam, unread, archived emails, all in perfect order. I like how easy this service is to use and I also highly appreciate the security and protection of my account and data. Cons What I like least about Yahoo Mail is that I believe that when I go to log in to the account, instead of asking for my cell phone model, I suggest that I should ask for my cell phone number, as we often end up changing the cell phone.

" June 29, 2021 4.0 Overall, Yahoo Mail meets all my business and personal email needs. I do like it better than the others I've tried and I've used all the major ones personally and/or professionally. I think it's quite a bit more comprehensive than Gmail, which is the other one I've used most often. I think if you have moderate technical skills and aren't easily frustrated, this email app is a good choice, especially for any small business and/or personal use. Pros This is the business and personal email that I FINALLY settled on. I had trouble finding one that had all the features that I wanted and was easy to navigate around. This one came the closest over the ones that I tried. I love that I can create, which seems to be an unlimited number of folders, to keep saved mail in. I'm pretty OCD about saving and organizing my emails, so this is a great feature for me. I also like that if I happen to get Spam in my inbox, I can flag it as such and it will move it to Spam box. Then it marks it that way permanently, so nothing I get from that sender will get back into my inbox. I also use the Subscription feature quite a bit to manage which regular distribution lists, I want to remain on. Cons I know there is a lot to this app that I have not tapped into. For me, I've played around with it and have pretty much tapped out on all the features I can master myself. I feel that I would need someone to walk me through additional features or watch a tutorial, to get the full use of what's possible. I don't think it should be that complicated to use the features on a mail app. In fact, it took me almost a year to figure out how to delete emails in mass quantity. When looking into this, I found other users had the same frustration with the particular version I was using. Now, that is a very basic function that should be much easier to figure out! Switched from [Gmail](https://www.capterra.com/p/202338/Gmail/) Wanted something more comprehensive, as there were things I needed/wanted to do, that I couldn't. Review Source SMA Sarah May A. Freelancd Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Yahoo mail accessibility" November 22, 2022 4.0 Its very good. Pros The most likable feature i like about the software is yahoo mail is very easy to navigate, a user friendly and a not expensive at all since its all free Cons The least thing for yahoo mail for me is nothing..Because its not hanging and very user friendly Review Source Constantin A. Freelance Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Yahoo\_Review" October 8, 2023 4.0 Pros The research tool that helps to easily find an old message, the spam tool and the possibility to choose a background pictures were the features I liked more. Additionally, the app in general was not so difficult and guarantees a high security. It was possible to use Yahoo mail via Gmail app, this is perfect and in such way reduce the obligation to have yahoo Installed before using it. Cons What they can add to the app is something like Google meet or zoom that will help to lead conferences via it. The app is also a little bit difficult for beginners. I have been using this app since 2013 but till now, there things I still not master Review Source CB Camille B. Writer Entertainment Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Horrible or such a large company" November 5, 2022 3.0 Not great. If I didn't have so much personal items saved on my email, I would've deleted my account long ago. Pros I can change the colors of my email account Cons I got my first Yahoo account in 2007. I used it occasionally but not frequently. With no warning whatsoever, when I logged in last time, Yahoo informed me that they had "deleted my account" because "I hadn't been logged in for a while" it had only been maybe seven months. All of my personal emails were just gone without notice. With my second and current account, I've had since 2012. I have emails that I know I've written but when searching for them, they are not found. The search filter is terrible. When you search for a keyword, something entirely different will show up. Even photos will show up even though you specified you were looking for an email, not an attachment. As far as spam goes, within the past two years the amount of spam I receive has increased. I've blocked several email addresses on my Yahoo account and yet Yahoo still allows me to receive emails from that sender. I've had to change my password probably 15 times simply because Yahoo thinks my password is not strong enough. And constantly notify me telling me I need to protect my account by paying for the password subscription protection. It's distasteful. Not to mention the two step verification I encounter when logging into a new device. I log into a new device, it says they don't recognize it so I need to confirm a code on my secondary email, but in order to log into my secondary email, I have to log out of the email I'm currently trying to log into (because they're both Yahoo) Review Source JCH Juan Carlos H. Business Administration Writing and Editing Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Imail Yahoo" February 19, 2024 4.0 Although it is no longer my main email, I have had Yahoo for several years and it has been very useful for me to have relevant information from customers and contacts who use this product. Generally speaking, if you are one of those who do not require so many tools and functions within an email. Yahoo Mail is the software that adapts to what you want. I give it 4 Stars. Pros It has a good, dynamic interface and is easy to use. Cons It lacks functions and tools that other services already have, even though it is a good product and mail. they lack complementary functions. Review Source JMA Jose Manuel A.

My main email service is Gmail Pros To find emails works quite well (quicky and exact) and I can manage different emails accounts Cons I receive too much spam and despite giving feedback that some emails are spam doesn't seem to work fine Alternatives considered [Gmail](https://www.capterra.com/p/202338/Gmail/) Reason for choosing Yahoo Mail I just wanted to have a second email service Review Source GD Gautier D.

Like I said, I have used this for years and it has never failed me. I would highly recommend Yahoo mail for the every day email user. Pros What I like most about Yahoo Mail, is that it has kept its simplicity throughout the years. I've been using it from my very first email provider, years ago, and still use the same account today. Cons Some features could use a bit of an update. Such as the look of the whole thing. Maybe the archiving or having a feature like snooze, like Gmail has done.

July 13, 2021 5.0 Pros Its a good application. Where i use in sending messages and have a conversation to other people like friends and families, Business transactions, customer service etc. Also an important subscription, community communications and notifications like my social media, bank accounts and e-wallets. Use it in my registrations like social media, e-wallets, bank accounts and other subscriptions. Its friendly user and easy too access. I have been using it for more than a decade now. My inbox is already thousands now. Which means the capacity is very high. It stores my old email. In case i need to read an old file, i can easily find it. That's what i like it here. It is also free, i never paid anything for using it for more than a decade. It can accommodate my emails from my subscriptions, which i'm receiving everyday. There's also an option to sort my email from different category. Its a good way to organize and find the emails easily. A folders for photos and documents, if there's a photos and files that i need to see. A calendar where i organized my meeting schedule. It gives me a notification for my schedules too, so i wouldn't forget it. Cons There were times other emails goes to spam and there were important email i wasn't read because it goes to spam. Somethimes i'm worried for other important emails, that i might not read and will be automatically deleted. The advertisements inserted sometimes i opened accidentally. Though i'm not interested in those.

More than 10 years later, it still has relevance and value in the industry as a recognizable and trusted mail services. I am pleased with what I have received from it over the many years. Pros Yahoo Mail is one of the best services for sending and receiving e-mail. You can move, archive, star, or delete mail with the click of a button, and Yahoo Mail has folders available you can create to sort your mail. Though one of my cons mentions obvious spam filtering through into the main inbox, it is also easy to mark items as spam - and you can browse the spam folder and mark anything not as spam. The search bar works well to look for any specific mail items or senders. Cons The amount of ads on Yahoo Mail have ramped up substantially in recent years and can get in the way. Though this is likely affected by the amount of years I have had this Yahoo Mail account, I also receive a large amount of spam - and Yahoo doesn't filter out some of the most obvious scams.

Director Computer & Network Security Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Easy Email Management" March 22, 2024 5.0 I have found Yahoo Mail very easy to use, Yahoo Mail also provides a news feed and features essential for mail. I have found it very easy to get with and work with clients through Yahoo Promotion. Pros Yahoo Email is quick, manageable, spam-filtered, and easy to maintain. Yahoo Mail is safer to send with data integrity and safer attachments. Yahoo mail is quick, spam-free, and simpler. I have found Yahoo mail to be more filtered for marketing emails sent requiring whitelisting. Cons Yahoo Email lacks some advanced features that are found in Gmail or other vendor emails. Unlike Office365, it doesn't provide much user/policy and admin experience. Alternatives considered [Gmail](https://www.capterra.com/p/202338/Gmail/) Reason for choosing Yahoo Mail Simpler to use for basic email features. Review Source TC Tonya C.

May 31, 2024 5.0 Its free, easy to use and easy to empty the trash a lot faster than individually deleting emails because honestly that’s a pain and way too time consuming for me. Pros It is way easier to delete multiple emails at one time than Gmail specifically because I use both email services but definately prefer Yahoo mail over gmail because of that and how bright and peppy/colorful the background is when I check my emails. Also love how much easier Yahoo mail is to maneuver than most of the other email services I use, plus its FREE! Cons There are really No cons I can think of. All positives.

February 1, 2023 3.0 Yahoo mi ha permesso di restare in contatto con i miei amici quando ero all"estero e non esistevano tutti gli strumenti di comunicazione e di messaggistica istantanea che abbiamo oggi. Pros Yahoo è stato il primo programma di posta elettronica che ho avuto e all'inizio ero entusiasta di questo prodotto. Purtroppo, col passare degli anni, questo software non ha subito le modifiche necessarie per poter fronteggiare la concorrenza. Cons Il prodotto non si ė evoluto e non offre le possibilità che offrono altri servizi di posta elettronica. Review Source JD James D.

June 12, 2024 4.0 Overall, it is a great product that I highly recommend. Pros I like how convenient and simplistic it is to use this tool. Cons I wish there were a way to limit all the phishing emails I get. I also wish for a rescinding of the email option should the other party not have viewed the email yet and the sender decides they regret the recent email and wish to un-send it email. Review Source AM Amit M. Director Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Best Free Email Service" October 8, 2022 5.0 Overall all features are very good , I am using Yahoo Mail from last 15 years and very satisfied but only thing is it has to update its features. Pros Storage, Can chat without downloading anything as soon as you open your mail box right hand side a chat box appears where you can chat and do mail simultaneously with your contacts, Has free calendar functionality. Scans emails for viruses thus help you protect your mails. Cons This mail box need to update itself and provide a good customer care, If you are giving something for free you should not compensate with advertisements to recover the cost, Commercial advertisements keep on floating which distracts the user and reduce concentration on important work.

It holds A LOT of emails even though it is a free account. I am very happy with Yahoo Mail Pros I like that I can categorize emails into folders so I can manage them by topic. I like that I can easily search to find emails I am looking for. It's also easy to reply and forward to emails as well as send attachments. Cons I use yahoo email for personal purposes because it doesn't integrate well with the Google services I use for my business. My yahoo email is one of the first email providers I used so I have had it for a very long time. 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 I use both Yahoo Mail and Google Gmail Review Source SA Sandra A. Marketer and Content Writer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Easy to send , receive, search, store, and retrieve emails" October 12, 2023 4.0 Yahoo Mail provides a well designed platform to send, receive, and manage emails. It has been in use for many years and has stood the test of time. They have reliable security measures in place to ensure to prevent unauthorized access to your Yahoo accounts. We typically use Yahoo emails for formal communications but we all have other accounts as well. However, I feel that Yahoo mail needs to keep improving the platform with customizable features and integrating other apps. Pros I use Yahoo Mail because they take email security seriously. They allow you to use passwords, 2 step verification, and still send alerts to recovery emails when there is a suspicious login attempt. They also offer generous storage for mails and files sent using Yahoo. I also like the search function because it makes it easy to file emails sent or received a while ago. Cons Yahoo is not widely accepted despite being reliable. So we still need a google account to access some services and various platforms that allow users to sign up with their Google account. Yahoo should probably partner with other service providers to introduce "sign-up with Yahoo" option on those platforms. Sometimes important emails find way into the spam folder and you might miss important communications. Switched from [Proton Mail](https://www.capterra.com/p/201276/ProtonMail/)[Tuta Mail](https://www.capterra.com/p/234571/Tuta/) Yahoo is more secure and sends alerts promptly to prevent unauthorized email access.

I have been a customer since 2007 and still have the same email address. I have experience with other platform, but so far this is the most convenient for me to navigate and control all my e-mail boxes from one place. Pros Easy friendly to navigate. You can connect multiple mailboxes like I did - I log in to my yahoo email but I can see on the same screen my other two email boxes from different platform. Creating folders and sorting your emails like subscriptions, receipts, log in info, work etc. Cons I had a trouble to change how my name seen when receiving emails from me. I created that email box 15 years ago and my nick name is a bit embarrassing for a grown up woman. For some reason after multiple changes and updates some still seeing that embarrassing nickname :/ Review Source Similar Products Featured ## Related categories [Email Management](https://www.capterra.com/email-management-software/)
