why not both / another gmail con
I have both Yahoo and Gmail and appreciate both for what they do. (Also have Outlook for my work, where it is mandatory.) The Yahoo ads don't bother me, certainly not as much as they used to (before Gmail upped the competition, perhaps, or maybe it's just that my cable internet is more reliable now).
But I use the Yahoo account for personal business, for one reason: in my experience, Gmail is less reliable. It has gone out, skype-like, at least three or four times over the past couple of years, sometimes for just a couple of hours, sometimes for an entire day or two. Hasn't anyone else ever noticed this? I can't take the risk of needing to pay a bill (or whatever) and not being able to until gmail decides to work again. In my experience, yahoo mail has never gone down.
