Yahoo Mail Has Shit The Bed

I've had the same Yahoo mail account for years upon years. In my mind, Yahoo = good and dependable. I've never had any problems with this account, and it's never let me down. Or so I thought. In the past six months I've been made aware of jillions of emails that I've never received. One out of town friend thought I'd written her off completely. Also, I've learned that emails I've sent have never made it to the recipients. The kicker was when I RSVP'd to a shower, and when I showed up the hostess shouted "Oh, hi Cory, Ms. No RSVP." This isn't good for my anger issues, as my first inclination was to punch her in the face.

I use this account for work too, which is stupid. Stupid because knowing what I know now, I've probably been sending dirty jokes and very personal things to colleagues on accident. Unreliable email is not something I can add to my list of worries. I try to keep that list short. AOL is out, and I'm afraid that Hotmail will screw me too. I'm thinking about Gmail. Any opinions? Google = good, and it's never let me down. That I know of anyway.
