Streamlining a Classic!
As George Lucas found out after deciding that Greedo shot first, messing with a classic can be a delicate thing. The Yahoo! Mail team took a long, hard look at what happened to George and came up with a couple key takeaways:
Of course Han shot first (actually only a few of us really cared [...]
What are Your Yahoo! Mail Stories?
If you are here reading this there is a fairly high probability that you already use Yahoo! Mail, or at the very least have used it at some point (and I suspect will return again). If you are just about to start using Yahoo! Mail, that’s delightful news, but this post isn’t really for [...]

NOTE: Thanks to a comment from Lee Fuller, I’ve amended this post to account for the different versions of Yahoo Mail…
There’s lots of reasons to get a second email address. You’ve got a special project going that needs a special address. You want all those emails about online purchases going to one [...]

By now I’m sure most of you have seen the “All Feeds” link over in the left side of the New Yahoo! Mail (it was there in the Beta too), but judging from the fluctuations in the subscriber numbers of this very blog I’m guessing that many of you are not yet using it (or [...]
Oktoberfest hits Yahoo!
As I’ve mentioned before, I’m still relatively new at Yahoo! So when I came into work on Monday and saw a special Yahoo! Oktoberfest 2007 glass … I thought it seemed kinda cool and didn’t really give it much more thought.
Then we had our all-hands meeting on Wednesday afternoon (you can get an idea of [...]
How to Use the New Advanced Search

- Categories: General, New Stuff, Tips & Tutorials
The new feature getting the most attention so far is probably the SMS/Text feature, but for you Power Users out there, I think the biggest and baddest of the new bells and whistles will likely be the New Advanced Search. As more and more people take advantage of the unlimited storage (translation: abandon “delete” [...]
New in Yahoo! Mail - Find old email easily

There’s nothing more annoying than losing an email. We do have a very powerful search engine in Yahoo! Mail but sometimes the phrase you’re searching on is so vague and general that you end up trawling through masses of messages, even after you’ve filtered your inbox with a search.
Our engineers have delivered a great solution [...]

OK - this is the second post for this feature (read the first one if you want). OK, it was there in the beta but we’ve beefed it up with a couple of key additions… best of which, you can now chat to people on Windows Live™ Messenger too.
What’s all this then?
We’ve integrated Yahoo! Messenger [...]
New for Yahoo! Mail - Multicoloured Mail

The standard Yahoo! Mail interface was grey (sorry, chrome) – smart, slick and professional. But it’s Autumn now and it’s grey enough outside so we thought: let’s have a bit of colour!
Now you can choose from one of six colours for your inbox. It’s one of the things people have been asking for ever since [...]

Halloween is still a few weeks away, but if you are looking for costume ideas I may be able to help (and maybe even help you fatten up that wallet in the process).
The Yahoo! Mail folks are teaming with our friends over at Bix (be sure to check out their new blog) to put together [...]
