Personally I much prefer Gmail's web interface and filtering system.
Mind you, I'm not a heavy user of either service. |

It's true that Yahoo is more prone to hack?

Though I no longer use either one, I have (in the past) used both of these companies extensively.
If I were to go back (for whatever reason) I would certainly choose GMail. Yahoo was 'flaky' for me and often malfunctioned . GMail always worked (as it should) and always worked very well. |

just my opinion but i would not use yahoo for anything other than a junk email account. i did an experiment a while back and made a completely new yahoo email account, and never used it for anything. never gave the email address out, and literally within days started to get spam.

Not any more prone that other big name free services.
I use both Yahoo and Gmail. I have three Yahoo! Mail accounts, one Gmail. From my perspective either service is okay. I rarely use the web mail interface to read, send messages. I fetch messages from two Yahoo! Mail accounts using POP3 to download messages to my client, then delete them from the server. The third Yahoo! Mail account I use IMAP4 as I have a need to access this account from multiple devices. |

I hope everyone realizes that the reasons you get spam are very rarely because someone has hacked into the email provider master database and extracted account names and passwords. Most spam is received because:
