In addition to the solid reliability of Gmail, there are also backup Gmail applications on the market now that can effectively add another layer of security to your business Gmail email account. The list of reasons to trust Google with your business data continues to grow.

Those who have used both Apple Mail and Google’s Gmail report a number of the differences between the two. When compared side by side, it doesn’t take long to see that Gmail is the more feature-rich of the two, and Apple’s mail product seems almost no-frills by comparison.

The advantages of Gmail vs. Apple Mail are numerous. For example, Apple Mail has no “unsend” feature, and no “missing attachment” check or alert, while Gmail does. It is also not possible to attach a photo via a reference URL in Apple Mail. Apple Mail does not offer prioritization of messages in the Inbox, whereas Gmail has these features. It is also more difficult to select and delete multiple email messages in Apple Mail.

As for ease of use, there are few keyboard shortcuts in Apple Mail, whereas Gmail has a keyboard shortcut for just about every function. Gmail also saves Drafts of your emails even if they have just been started. They are saved within the thread of the email you are replying to for added convenience. Apple Mail lacks these features. Also, Apple Mail only allows for a single Inbox. It is not nearly as flexible as Gmail, which allows for multiple inboxes.

These are just some of the reasons that even Mac users have been choosing Gmail over Apple Mail for personal as well as business use. With backup Gmail apps available as well, business users can easily put an added layer of protection in place to shield their valuable business correspondence from any unfortunate incident. As secure and stable as Google and the Gmail platform may be, they are not totally immune from having an outage or loss of data. With backup Google Apps, you can rest easy that your data is always safe and secure.

Integration of IM and Email

One strong advantage that Gmail has over Yahoo mail is that it allows you to send instant messages to your contacts that are online quickly and easily. While Yahoo has IM as well, it is not nearly as accessible as the one found within Gmail. This is because Yahoo’s IM is separate from its e-mail service. This means that one cannot send quick chat messages in the form of e-mail to contacts and friends on Yahoo, but would instead have to open an entirely new chat bar. This, undoubtedly, would be annoying to most people.

Flexibility with Attachments

Another way in which Gmail shines is in the use of attachments. A person, once done with their e-mail message, is able to quickly and easily put up as many attachments as needed. Yahoo mail requires you to go to a separate screen in order to put up attachments, and you can only put up 5 without being required to add more boxes. Thus, Gmail seems much less of a hassle if one has to send a large amount of attachments.

Folder Organization

One area in which Yahoo mail actually does shine is in the fact that it allows better folder creation and organization. Gmail, while it allows you to label folders, keeps all your folders in approximately the same area, making organization with a large amount of folders difficult. Yahoo mail allows you to label and organize your folders how you like making the mail system better for those who require large amounts of folders that can be easily accessed.

Size of Attachments

One big advantage that Gmail has over Yahoo mail is that Gmail allows for a bigger attachment size. Yahoo mail only allows attachments up to 10mb on its free version, while Gmail allows up to 20mb on its free version. Thus, if you need to put large attachments on your e-mail, whether due to school or work, Gmail has a clear advantage over Yahoo mail.

Brand Impact

Probably one of the more important aspects of Gmail is the fact that it is considered the more “professional” of the e-mail services. People seem to have the strong belief that Gmail is the more credible of the two e-mail services and, due to first impressions being so important, Gmail is a clear winner in professional credibility.

So who’s the winner ?

Overall it seems that Gmail is a clear winner. It’s easily accessible which is very important for people who have large amounts of experience with e-mail as well as for those who are just stepping into the digital world. Gmail also allows larger attachments then Yahoo mail, which is critical for those like students or businesspeople that need to get large amounts of material to the proper place. Another, and quite possibly the biggest,  advantage that Gmail offers is that it is seen as the more professional email service. For those in the business world, such a reputation is very important.
