Yahoo Mail

Yahoo Mail, launched in 1997, is still the top email provider used by people all over the world. In recent times, it has made significant progress and aims to be the ultimate consumer email service, offering subscription management, generous free storage, and extensive personalization options, making it possibly the most customizable mobile inbox.

You can add almost any email account to your Yahoo inbox, manage deliveries, travel bookings, and documents from one place, and unsubscribe from mailing lists at your convenience. The free version gives users a massive 1TB of storage, and customization options are abundant, especially on mobile devices.

However, Yahoo Mail has limited customer service, although it remains a polished and professional service that stands up well against the competition. Storage ranges from 1TB to 5TB, with a well-designed interface similar to Outlook, and customizable notifications raise alerts for important emails.

Although not as configurable as Gmail or Outlook, Yahoo Mail still offers useful layout tweaks and message previews. However, its mail organization cannot match the flexibility of Gmail's labeling scheme, and there is no message encryption. Nevertheless, Yahoo's free plan is an attractive service deserving a spot on your email shortlist. For those willing to pay $5 a month, Yahoo Mail Plus drops ads, raises storage to 5TB, supports disposable email addresses, and adds 24/7 phone and chat support.
