While Microsoft is demography allegation of seek in this partnership, Yahoo contributes a huge user abject of e-mail and burning messaging users. Although Gmail gets some spotlight, Yahoo Mail charcoal the Webmail bazaar leader, followed by Microsoft's Windows Live Hotmail, and again Gmail.

It's a acceptable bet that Yahoo Mail will abide to boss the market, while Gmail assets in popularity. Of course, Google Wave is advancing up anon and acceptable to agitate up the Webmail market, but until that happens, few changes are acceptable to yield place.
