"An easy to use mailing software"
What do you like best about Yahoo! Mail?

Yahoo mail allows you to integrate and manage different accounts in one mailbox. I sort my mails using different folders which are easy to access. It offers you various features including calendar, notepad etc. providing you a complete email. Its android app has an easy to use interface as well and lets you access, edit and send email on-the-go. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Yahoo! Mail?

Over all, I am happy with my Yahoo mail account however, the new update frequently asks me to change y account configuration key which I feel annoying. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Decent Free Email Server for Business"
What do you like best about Yahoo! Mail?

I like that you are able to separate the email threads from conversation to separate emails. It is a very user friendly platform. You can also have multiple emails logged into and can switch easily enough between them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Yahoo! Mail?

At times, the email says it sent, but it did not. Or the email is "sending" for a very long time. It does create some uncertainty if the email actually sent. Also, there are struggles with other email platforms accepting Yahoo emails. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
