Hello All – This week I want to take a moment to introduce you to Brandon Savage. Brandon is our Senior Product Manager for the Classic version of Yahoo! Mail. He’s got an exciting new feature to share with you. So take it away Brandon…
—————————-
I don’t know about you, but when I hear the word “classic,” I think of a cherry red ’57 Corvette zipping down an open freeway… and about Yahoo! Mail Classic, of course.
It was with that beautiful ’57 Corvette racing through our minds that we designed the newest feature to hit Yahoo! Mail Classic: integrated chat and mobile texting, courtesy of our friends at Yahoo! Messenger. Zippy, real-time communication, without having to leave your Yahoo! Mail Classic inbox. With the addition of chat and mobile text, you can now choose the best way to communicate with friends who are online or on the go. It’s already a popular feature in the new Yahoo! Mail, so popular, in fact, that it seemed only right to give our dedicated Classic Mail users a smarter, more social Webmail experience, too.
Imagine this: the next time you sit down to compose an email to your sister reminding her that Mom’s birthday is TODAY, and that Mom is expecting a phone call, like, NOW, you notice that she is online, too. Instead of email, why not try chatting in real-time?
Or, for all you parents out there, ever tried to get in touch with your child while they were hanging out with their friends? Never fear, Yahoo! Mail is here – just send a mobile text right to their cell phone!
How does it work, you ask? Well, when you sign into your Yahoo! Mail Classic account, your Chat & Mobile Text contact list will appear on the left of your screen (you can place it above or below your personal folders, whichever you prefer). If your status says “Offline,” just click on it and select “Available” to sign in (fair warning to Yahoo! Messenger users: signing in here will log you out elsewhere). Once you do, you’ll see a list of all of your Contacts who are online and available to chat. We also show you the names of any Contacts with mobile phone numbers, for mobile texting, of course. Just click on a name to start a conversation!
Easy, right? But don’t take my word for it, go ahead and take this exciting new feature for a spin by sending a chat or mobile text message of your own. Chat and mobile text is rolling out to all Yahoo! Mail Classic users over the next couple of months, so cool your engines and please be patient if you don’t see it right away. We’ll get to you soon, I promise. Improving a classic takes time!
Brandon Savage,
Sr. Product Manager, Yahoo! Mail Classic

yeah great idea, start with me no job,lots of bills.But keep me trying.
Anyone know the answer to Emily’s question?
I did not see anyone answer how we delete this chat feature from my inbox. Anyone know or point me to the directions?
watz up
Remove my name from the list too. I do not want a profile or chat. Please respond to this note so that I may know I have been removed.
I HATE this new feature. If I wanted this, I would have gone over to the new yahoo mail. I turned it off twice and it kept coming back on. If you’re going to add chat, why add it between the mailbox and the folders? Add it below the folders so that people who don’t want it don’t have to have it in their face. Or at least allow users to customize where it is. The new Yahoo mail has chat built right in. If someone wants chat, I would think that they would have gone to the new mail.
I’m sure no one is reading these comments. However, if you are, why don’t you find out who is actually using mail classic and why. What do we like about mail classic? What do we not like about the “new” yahoo mail. There’s a reason a large number of people did NOT want to go to the new mail client (just like the previous poster that does not like gmail.) I can see by the number of comments I’m not the only one who’s upset with this new chat feature, and I have 5 other people in my family who use yahoo mail classic and are not going to be happy but probably won’t post (I just told my wife and her response was, “Oh great,” and that was sarcasm. Really, please move or remove this feature if enough paying customers like myself complain.
heyy wats up yahoo rocks heheheh
