Does it Matter which email platform you use?

Yahoo, Gmail or others?

I have a question for all of you smart website, google, authorship people out there. I have always loved Yahoo's email platform and so when I started my WA premium membership, I started another yahoo email address.

QUESTION - Does it matter for google authorship, rankings, traffic, etc. if all of your google plus contacts are associated with yahoo and not gmail? I had to make up a new gmail account to start my google authorship and for it to be associated with my new google plus account.

I have authorship now but all of my google plus contacts and google plus account is associated with my yahoo email which I would like to keep. I know I can transfer all of my "yahoo" google plus account info to my new "gmail" google plus account but if I don't have to then why do it?

Thank you all for your comments......
