Description
Guide Review - Yahoo! Mail Classic - Free Email ServiceReliability, storage space, security and precise spam filtering are the features you should look for in a free email service.
Yahoo! Mail Classic offers most of them. While it lacks digital signatures and message encryption, you get automatic virus protection, and Yahoo! Mail's pretty effective "SpamGuard" junk mail filters moves spam to a special folder. Yahoo! Mail Plus users can set up disposable email addresses for used instead of their real Yahoo! Mail address. As soon as spam is received through one of them, it can be thrown way easily. All Yahoo! Mail Classic accounts come with unlimited space for all your mail. The web-based interface — the place where Yahoo! Mail users probably spend most of their time — is comfortable and efficient (many useful keyboard shortcuts). Yahoo! Mail Classic's mail views that let you concentrate on particular messages in a folder are useful, but could be more flexible. Of course, Yahoo! Mail Classic also offers filters to automatically sort incoming mail. Unfortunately, it does not thread messages, though. An easy to use HTML message editor lets you compose and send emails with rich formatting easily, and in Yahoo! Mail Plus you can even use stationery. Yahoo! PhotoMail, available for everyone, makes it easy to share photos from your computer, Yahoo! Photos and the web by storing full copies on Yahoo! servers while mailing only thumbnails.
