When an internet giant like Yahoo can't get its employees to use Yahoo Mail, how can it persuade the rest of the world to follow suit?

In a rather embarrassing disclosure, revealed from a funny internal memo of Yahoo, the company is facing a difficult time in getting its employees to use Yahoo Mail.

Yahoo's SVP of Communications Products Jeff Bonforte and CIO Randy Roumillat literally begged its employees to switch from Outlook to its "feature rich" Yahoo Mail service. No just that, they thanked the mere 25 percent of its employees who stuck to using Yahoo.

"It doesn’t feel like we are asking you to abandon some glorious place of communications nirvana," Bonforte and Roumillat write in reference to Outlook. "At this point in your life, Outlook may be familiar, which we can often confuse with productive or well designed."

Yahoo officials remained unavailable for a comment.
