I'm looking forward to a Yahoo Mail for Domains feature. If they introduce it, it could mean the nail in the coffin for Gmail.

Re: Yahoo Mail is not catching up anymore
#42There are only a few things I want from a Gmail competitor, whether it be a webapp or desktop app: - Search. Good, fast search over 7 GB of email. - Speed. - Undo send. - Multiple aliases on the same email account. It's definitely possible to beat Gmail in the first two, these days, but importing all that email into another service takes a while, so there had better be a good case that I'll get equal or superior func…
If one wants #2, I don't see #3 being viable in conjunction. How would an undo send work (other than placing it in some sort of delayed queue/spool)?

#44- Get a 1920x1080 monitor. No, really. Decent ones are cheap and awesome. That said, sure, GMail could support other resolutions better. I have to make my window tiny in order to make Reply remotely unusable - what's your problem with it? - I have the "Undo Send" Labs features enabled, so I can undo a lot more than your unintentional sends. I can undo my intentional but ill-considered sends, too. - I can go to Google…
- I cannot get 1920x1080 monitor on a laptop. It would defeat the purpose. My problem is this: http://backwardcompatible.net/images/gmail.png * top posting is useless when you have long e-mail with 6-10 points to address in it. * being able to see 7 lines at a time is my real problem * the other real problem is when I have a 100-line email with 10 points to address in it and 10th point ends on line 34, I want to be a…
With high density displays these days, 1080p on a 13" laptop or other smaller laptops is possible

#45GMail is deteriorating. I loathe the new 'reduced' inline reply UI. Half the time I am searching for how to reveal the sender address or subject field because I need to change them, but GMail seems to think this is an edge use case. Today I got the new tabbed inboxes - 'Primary', 'Social' and 'Promotions'. Lots of important email is now out of view from the primary inbox and buried with unimportant crap. This is so f…
Social and Promotions should basically just contain the "unimportant crap". If something is mis-categorized, you can drag it to the correct section and Gmail should learn from its mistake. Also, as mentioned below, you can revert to the un-tabbed inbox by going to the Inbox section of the settings and disabling all tabs other than Primary, or by selecting one of the split inboxes (Unread first, Priority, etc). Discla…
Why have tabs when there's already priority inbox, labels, and filters?
It seems like the new feature is essentially just a way to do automatic (learned?) labeling -- yet it won't let you build your own tabs using already-defined custom labels. :-/

#46There doesn't seem to be any viable competitors for the combination of GMail + Google Drive. The Drive Apps infrastructure and integration into one account is above and beyond the competition.

#47If you're tired of the gmail interface (like I was), I'd highly recommend http://fastmail.fm . I made the switch (moved 55k+ messages with http://protips.maxmasnick.com/export-gmail-to-fastmail-or-an... ) and haven't looked back. FastMail offers a similar infinite scroll feature. I was able to select and move several thousand messages through the web interface when I was first configuring it. FastMail's highlights fo…
You can also use IMAP clients. For example I never use the gmail web interface and use Thunderbird instead. I have personal email accounts plus 3 different gmail work accounts so this works far better.

Even though I've used Opera for over ten years, it kinda bums me that they acquired fastmail.fm, because I don't really know where I see Opera three years from now.
Ideally, I'd like a Pinboard for e-mail.

Re: Yahoo Mail is not catching up anymore
#501. Yahoo Mail 2-factor authentication support is woefully incomplete: http://www.zdnet.com/a-half-assed-additional-factor-does-not... 2. Yahoo Mail does not enforce SSL unless you choose obscure menu options: http://help.yahoo.com/kb/index?page=content&y=PROD_MAIL_ML&l...
YMail TFA is also woefully unavailable to people outside the usual suspects of countries - which is something I don't really get for something as security-centric as an e-mail service.
