For my second installment for “the what’s new with Yahoo! Mail Beta”, I wanted to highlight the new ability to expand the viewable reading area in your mailbox.
More space to read
If you look about half-way down the ad on the right-hand side of your Yahoo! Mail Beta mailbox, you will see a small triangle (some might call it an arrow). If you click that triangle, cum arrow, you’ll be able to get more reading space. Here’s a picture:

It won’t hide the ad forever; you’ll have to sign up for Yahoo! Mail Plus for that. But you do get the option for a bigger reading area when you need it.
Happy emailing!

Hi Yvonne,
Sorry to hear that you are having problems accessing your account. If the problem is still persisting, I would suggest that you contact our customer care via the following form:

Unfortunately, I can’t personally access your account to see what the trouble is.
Thanks,
Andrew
How long is Yahoo! Mail Beta going to remain Beta?
I’m finding this mail service increasingly irritating, every time I try to access my mail there is a problem. At the moment i’m freelancing so I need to be able to read my emails to be able to get work. If these problems continue i’ll have no choice but to switch to a hotmail account. Yahoo just isn’t reliable anymore.
