I don't think it has anything to do with Google saying that Gmail isn't the best/top option. It depends on their ranking system. The "I am feeling lucky" button takes you to the first result in the search. So maybe Yahoo Mail has beaten Gmail in the Google ranking.

Besides, it's only in Gnoosh, the same takes place when I type "mail" and then do "I am feeling lucky" search. It still takes me to Yahoo Mail

yep. That's just precisely (and only) what it is.

you missed my point - the best answer should be at the top - that's their aim. so either the best answer is at the top or the algorithm is not accurate.
