Part of it is just that I find it ugly - not a dealbreaker per se but if I can find another service which will offer me the same and be easy on the eye then that would be good.
The main thing though, is that I've never managed to feel comfortable with the gmail way of arranging mail. I know you're supposed to just archive it and search it but I like folders! It matches the way my brain thinks about things. And I don't like hording, which gmail actively encourage. You can use labels to a certain extent but I find that a bit clunky as a method of foldering. That's one of the things I'm liking about Yahoo - I have drag and drop foldering.
On the plus side, the spam filtering is good, the space is good and the app is responsive but I don't think those are so rare any more so I figured I might as well explore.
