Best e-mail-Gmail vs. Yahoo

I use both and like gmail better.

Corret me if I'm wrong but I don't think gmail has PUSH support like yahoo mail.
For that reason I think yahoo is better.

Gmail pushes through fine on my iPhone.

I used Yahoo for years but have had Gmail for the last year or so, love it! Set up is great, the intramail chat feature is handy, and the storage is outrageous.

Are you sure that you are not actually saying "My GMail email comes through to my iPhone fine" ??? There is a big difference between POP3, IMAP and PUSHemail - which is what the BlackBerry is.

Test it: Send yourself an email from your PC, to your iPhone. Do you get it almost instantly like a Text/SMS msg? Or do you have to wait for your iPhone to auto-check your email?

Yahoo does push email through the iPhone, whereas Google mail relies on autochecking. that being said, push email through Yahoo doesn't always work.

Additionally, Yahoo has unlimited storage, whereas Google has a 2gb limit.

Google's limit actually exceeds 2 gigs and continues to increases every day.
From Wikipedia:

The service currently provides more than 6000 MB of free storage and paid additional storage from 10 GB (US$20/year) up to 400 GB (US$500/year), shared over Picasa and Gmail. The increase from 1 GB was announced on April 1, 2005 and was made for the first anniversary of Gmail. The announcement was accompanied by a statement that Google would "keep giving people more space forever." All Google says about this now is that it will keep increasing storage by the second as long as they have enough space on their servers. On 12 October 2007, Google ramped up the storage counter to 5.37 MB per hour. Approximately a week later, the counter went back down to 1.12 MB per hour. This adds up to about 806 MB per month or over 9.8 GB per year. From 4 January 2008, the counter went up again to about 3.35 MB per day.

Gmail doesn't have push email (only yahoo has it for iphone users), my current gmail limit is 6599Mb and i don't pay a thing.

I think gmail needs to push contacts, calendars and emails as well and i hope when iphone 2.0 firmware released they would just announce that!

As this was stated above Yahoo has constant issues with it's push mail feature. It also has issues where messgaes are shown as being availbe in your Inbox bt never download (42 more messages 1 more to down load). I reeceived this error even though I only had 6 email in my entire account.

I changed to gmail and have not hd this issue at all. I use my gmail to get all my email (program updates, bills, statements, etc) and I have no issuses. Security/space is a major issue for me so I use gmail to access my emails POP3 in Outlook 2007 (yes this is a free service through google - other carriers make you pay for it).

Sure Yahoo does have Push mail but the head aches when it does not work and the possibilty of your personal info being stolen. Gmail is well worth the autocheck feature every hour.
