Hello everyone. You might have noticed some changes to your inbox recently, (and if you don’t see them now, you will soon). So I thought I’d use this space to highlight what’s new.
Checkboxes are back!
I think the first thing you’ll notice is the left-hand column of your Inbox. We heard your feedback loud and clear. And what you told us is that you wanted an easier way to select multiple messages at once. So the new column allows you to select multiple messages (without opening them in the reading pane) and take action on them all together.
Now by checking multiple messages you can delete, move or mark as spam all at once. Of course, if you’re like me and also use email clients like Thunderbird and Outlook, you can still use the Shift-click and Ctrl-click method to select messages.
Stay tuned… There’s more to come.
Happy Emailing.

Yahoo Mail Beta is still not working with Norton Internet Security. When will it, so that I can switch back as make use of all its features?
I think I started loving the old spam marking method (single click operation) and you just removed it. It was kinda cool. Actually you could provide both options, single click and checkboxes.
[...] It works well with the checkboxes (see Part 1), so that you can move a whole bunch of messages at once. Just put checks next to all the messages you want to move and click the move button. Once you’ve done that you can move them to any of your folders that you’ve set up. Or you can choose to delete them by moving them to the Trash folder or mark them all as Spam by moving them to the Spam folder. [...]
I don’t even bother with Outlook at home anymore. I just use Yahoo! Mail. I find moving mail just as easy with Shift and Ctrl as with Outlook, and am delighted to have just found out how to block pesky spam mail I’ve just started getting.
Keep up the good work!
Yahoo won’t even give the secure login screen. Happened today 12/5/07 after your last update. I use your web based old version (still on Win98).
Please can you put a message on your site explaining what’s going on.
No point sending me an email !

Hi Tony,
The default login page isn’t secure. But you can always choose to login via a secure page. If you’ll notice underneath the sign-in button, there is a link to take you to a secure page. Or you can access it directly here:
