As a Nigerian student, what email service do you use? we are past the age of any student not having a functional email service, therefore this is not a choice to be taken lightly. On several occasions, many students have lost out on opportunities because of a problematic email address.
The two prime email services that are common are Yahoomail and Gmail. However every student should have a Gmail account, why?
1. Verification Purposes
For Yahoomail, verification in case of blockage is highly problematic, this is because, their verification process is rigorous and confusing. Whereas with Gmail account, verification process is quite easy, in case any problem comes up.
2. 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.
3. 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.
