It was clear that many of you really liked some of the recent additions to All-New Mail, but we don’t want you to think the praise has convinced us that there isn’t still some work to be done. We understand that we need to deliver enhancements that ultimately make Yahoo! Mail the only email option you can even imagine wanting to use.

It is with that laser focused goal in mind that I’m delighted to announce the Yahoo! Mail team’s latest attempt to obliterate the competition. In the coming weeks we hope to begin rolling out a pre-pre-Alpha version of Yahoo! Mail (for both Classic and New Mail) that supports telepathy.

You may have already heard some of the buzz around technologically enabled telepathy (also known as “technopathy“) and we feel that we are perfectly positioned to really deliver on that vision.

To help lead these efforts we recently brought in Matt Parkman (formerly of the LAPD and NYPD) to be our new VP of Totally Wireless Mail. Fortunately for us his schedule had been really light when we first approached him with the opportunity. We also understand that many of you are already worried about the various spam problems this might create. While I can’t give too many specifics at this point, we have an offer out to someone to be our Director of Cranial Spam Reduction.
