Are you a regular at the Zynga Poker table? Catch yourself yelling “Bingo!” at work? (Don’t worry… we won’t tell). At Yahoo! Mail, we recognize that users are interacting with apps from all over the Web, so we want make it easier for your apps to communicate with you.
Yahoo! Mail will now let you know when you’ve received a notification from your favorite Yahoo! or Zynga app. When you receive an email from a Zynga game or Yahoo! App, a notification will appear in the new Recent Apps Activity module on the What’s New page in Yahoo! Mail. That means you’ll see e-mails for free chips, coupons, or points front-and-center when you sign into Yahoo! Mail.
If you haven’t started using apps on Yahoo!, it’s easy to get started. Just log into your Yahoo! account and go to your Yahoo! Pulse page. From there click the “Apps” button on the bottom-left of the page and start searching for apps that interest you. My personal favorites are Mafia Wars and Nike Football. I highly recommend them!
Keep your eye out for the new Recent App Activity module – it will only appear when you have an unread email from an app. As always, please let us know what you think. Happy gaming!
Yahoo mail just blew away two and a half paragraphs of a reply I was writing. The edit window suddenly blanked and YMail proudly announced that it had just auto-saved a draft. I looked in the Drafts folder; the draft was blank, too (except for recipients and subject). Firefox, Win7, HP laptop.
Do you guys actually test stuff before you push it out?
Scott, I email announcements to our patrons for the Theatre when we have a new play or news to share with our community. My problem is the email will only allow me to send 20 emails (BCC) at a time and no more. So to go through 400+ is a virtual pain the you know what. Is there any way to expand our ability to extend the number of emails we can send? Is there an institutional account available? If so what is the cost and how do we access it. Thank you for your help.
