Using New Yahoo! Mail Beta

Filed under: Internet

I was finally granted by Yahoo! to test their Beta upgrade of Yahoo! Mail, which is a sweeping redesign of the service’s look, feel and function.

Many thanks to the Yahoo! Mail team! Feel comfortable as I’m able to toggle back and forth between the old and beta versions.

Yahoo! Mail Beta

What are the changes?

1) Very MS-Outlook-styled, three-pane window with folders in the left vertical pane, headers top right, and a message preview pane below the headers.

2) The new Yahoo! Mail features a tabbed interface, like Firefox…

3) Snazzy drag-and-drop feature lets you move messages among folders, though I can’t use the “MOVE” button in the top right headers panel (The team claimed that this feature is coming very soon).

4) Retaining access to the Inbox while reading and writing mail, not like the old version.

5) RSS, this is something important nowadays.

Lowlight:

a) Can’t use it in my favourite browser, Opera.

Gmail & new Yahoo! Mail Beta, which one you prefer?

  1. If you have a slow computer it pretty much locks up I own a PIII 500mhz 512mb Ram and it takes forever to use the BETA but on my P4 2.8 256mb Ram it is error free I wish they would make it less processor dependant
