Yahoo gives its Mail a facelift

[Positive]

Yahoo has begun beta testing its spanking new Mail service – and it’s lined up the crosshairs on Google’s GMail.

We’ve had a brief play with the new version, and we’re impressed. The current interface was in need of a facelift, and there are plenty of much needed additions.

Rather than having an unmanageable mountain of mail, you can now drag-and-drop messages into different folders, and search them using keywords.

A preview pane means you don’t have to open up each message, and you can write and read multiple e-mails simultaneously using tabs.

I have already test the beta interface and it simply rocks! It is the only Mail Service that can give a challenge to Gmail and Gmail should make its interface also beautiful now because I don't think Gmail interface is very good..its too simple with simple HTML colors and links and nothing else...no designs!

How can I test the new interface? I just logged to my Yahoo account, nothing unusual there.

Good news, I will keep using Yahoo for a long time because I have been using them for so long and really do not see why I should change.

Re: Yahoo gives its Mail a facelift

I don't know what it is, but I would like to try it. Is the beta version availible or it is only invite users, or only invite from yahoo? Nothing new on my yahoo account telling about this mail service. Actually I didn't never hear about it. Maybe google makes a lot of sound more than yahoo, because when gmail came, all knew it.

Re: Yahoo gives its Mail a facelift

Since I have started using GMail, I have never bothered of going back to Yahoo.

But I will have to check the Beta!

Re: Yahoo gives its Mail a facelift

i haven't used the new version but from the moment I started using gmail I can't go back! gmail is so fast that all the rest seem slow ... especially hotmail with the new live ui. I reverted from beta because it was too slow

Re: Yahoo gives its Mail a facelift

There’s nothing that particularly sets it apart from Google GMail, though, which already offers all the same functionality for free, and Microsoft is beta testing its huge new Live service which will gather all of your e-mail, search and messenger activity under one web roof.

Why do it then? Just to keep up with big daddy? They need to try to get ahead instead of simply trying to keep up. Tell me guys is yahoo's spam filter as good as gmail's?
