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.

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!

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.

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.

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

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.
