Yahoo Mail Beta

Three days ago, Yahoo upgraded my free mail account to its new web mail system which is in Beta mode. Here are the things that are cool with it:

Interface - interface is sleek. It got less page refresh and more tabular panes. The look is somewhat similar to an email client like Outlook or Thunderbird. Though I could sense too much javascript on it that it breaks Firefox from time to time - and actually I have not used it on IE yet.

Shortcuts - as we all know, keyboard shortcuts makes our life easier and faster. Yahoo mail beta has it … lots of it actually.

Calendar - much improved calendar with lots of added features. Better check for yourself

File Attachements - Better way to handle file attachments. You can attach big files and continue working. No more time for coffee breaks when attachments are still being uploaded.

Easier Navigation - Though this is relative among different users, finding things I needed become faster and easier. Except for the most important thing - the search box. There are two search boxes, one for the web and another for the email. At first, it confuses me which is which until I get used to it.

Overall its a nice improvement on interface. For sure, I will still miss the old Yahoo Mail look which has become my all time favorite email.
