Yahoo! keeps you connected with your circle…or Ring

You may have already seen this around the Yahoo! network, specifically on the Mail Product Overview page, but just in case you hadn’t, I thought this would be fun to share.
Some folks here recently put together a short video capturing the ways that the All-New Yahoo! Mail helps users stay connected with friends, in different ways, but all from within Yahoo! Mail. Here we get a contemporary spin on Gandalf sending Frodo on his heroic mission … with a little help from the All-New Yahoo! Mail.
You can also check out the page on Yahoo! Video to rate the clip, leave comments, and grab the code for sharing on your own page (or through a variety of other sites).

I’m not amused after complaining about a problem with using Yahoo Classic!
March 6th, 2008 at 7:20 pm
I’m very dissatisfied with the new Yahoo! mail. On several computers - at work, and also at home - I am unable to read or compose mail once I’m in it. Moreover, I pay to have the Plus service, so it’s especially frustating. I can navigate between folders, but I cannot open any mail, nor can I open a “compose message” window. This problem is not reserved to one computer, and worse, it is sporadic. The one clue I have that I will be unable to read mail is if the calendar strip at the bottom of the frame doesn’t load. If I can’t see calendar events, then I know I won’t be able to read any mail.
Please fix it!

You know, it really amazes me to hear all these complaints about the new Yahoo Mail. I’ve been using the new Yahoo Mail since it was beta. I like it a whole lot better than the Classic Mail. I might have a problem once or twice a week, but no where near as many problems as you read here in this blog. Maybe it’s because I run Solaris/Mac OX/Linux instead of Windows.
Thanks for the laugh Ryan. There is one thing I’d really like to have though being a Yahoo Mail Plus user. That would be IMAP support. 
Keep up the great job.

It’s fantastic & wonderful to see new key improvements regarding all of the various usual Yahoo websites with which we have long been familiar for years. Thanks to the great Yahoo team and, as a long Yahoo user some ten years ago, I appreciate your contribution to these worldwide communities in which we can learn from one another and share our knowledge, values and ideas to our fellow members.

i agree with Steve above, i have been using the new AND improved
Yahoo! Mail since Beta and think it is great. i do wish you could set up a message priority and have read/delivery receipts but other than that it rocks. had a few glitches but better than any MSN nonsense and i feel it is better integrated than Google. i also have the Mail Plus! package and it works well. only wish i could see the actual MB size, don’t know where to find that, oh well, must not be near my limit then…

I love the new yahoo mail… though what i would to see is far more integration into other packages. I would especially like to see a new calendar! One that would sync with my smartphone at least! Any ideas when this will be…. I know you guys are working on something….!

That was very funny!
Just installed IE8Beta but unfortunately it’s completely incompatible w/ IE8. For now I’ll use IE7 rendering. Hopefully Y!Mail will be updated to support IE8 soon, the standards compliant rendering is regarded as potentially the biggest improvement of the browser.

this is great what u r doing 4 people ad i do have a yahoo

Its all good and I like the keyboard shortcuts, they way you can organize, drag and drop and everything.
THe only downside is , messages take forever to download, not sometime but most of the time, no matter what computer and what kind of internet I am using

We need better integration of filters (including unlimited filters esp for ymplus users). We need yahoo mail to auto check external accts periodically. We need imap access. Come on.

Guys - I’ve been using Yahoo mail for years and the new Yahoo email since the beta started. Something recently happened (in the last month or so) that’s rendered the new Yahoo mail painful to use. Here is the info:
1) Click on a message for the first time (don’t open the message - just click on it once)
2) Click “r” to reply to the message
Results:
a) when you start typing sometimes the cursor jumps to the “To” line and erases the recipient’s email address.
b) type “t” as the first letter in the reply to write “thanks” or any other word that starts with a “t” and you jump out of the message to a new text message.
c) sometimes clicking in the body of the message doesn’t do anything … the cursor won’t go in it.
I’ve seen other issues too. Are you guys seeing these issues?
I’m noticing that these problems don’t happen when you click on a message for the second time or when you open the message before replying to it.

I like the new Yahoo Mail. I am also a Plus mail user. I have a few glitches but far less than .Mac mail that costs $99.00 a year.
I only wish it was IMAP intead of POP3. Since Google’s G-Mail and AOL now offer free IMAP and message downloading into your favorite e-mail clinet (Outlook, Eudora, Thunderbird, Etc..) I will probably switch to one of them. I don’t mind paying the $20.00 a year, but POP3 is soo 90s. With IMAP you can create folders and save your message on the server. But unlike web mail you can access your mail through an desktop e-mail program. So, if I send an e-mail from work from Outlook, it goes to my Sent Folder. But when I get home and start-up Outlook the sent message is in my Sent folder on my home computer too. With POP3 if I move, delete, download or file a message at work, when I get home I have to do all that at home too if I want to keep a copy on both computers.
If Microsoft buys Yahoo they’ll probably screw it all up!

[…] of Messenger inside Yahoo Mail to giving out unlimited disk space for all users. But the latest installment comes in the form of a fun parody video of ”Lord Of The Rings” […]

The video was quite funny and demonstrated the chat feature well in yahoo mail. However, doesn’t yahoo also provide maps and directions? — thus, if you really think about it, it kinda indicates that yahoo maps give bad directions assuming that Gandalf would stay into the yahoo community and use yahoo maps for directions.
