Well guess what Subram, it does not make Yahoo Mail faster. Yahoo mail is slow and getting slower all the time! Its only a matter of time until I ditch it all together. Why don’t you do a study of how many users actually use spell check and add color to their emails? My guess is that its less than 5%. So you are slowing down 95% of the other users because of that pre-loading uselessness! Here’s an idea: don’t guess what Im going to do next and don’t steal my cpu cycles and slow down my computer!

Are you planning on adding conversations view? That’s the only reason I’ve just switched, after almost a decade, to one of your competitors

Yahoo mail has become very slow and unresponsive. When I read a lengthy e-mail, it’s like I lose contact with mail; when I click ‘reply’, nothing happens or error code 17 pops up. I’ve updated to Explorer 8 and also used Google Chrome…no difference. Google chrome often sends a message ‘website unresponsive’ while using yahoo mail. What’s up??

Fast is great, faster is always greater. I’m impressed with what I’ve seen so far. I’m keeping my fingers crossed for full-session SSL this year, though.

I found it difficult nowadays to read lengthy mails. I just read few sentences or lines that contain important paragraph. Since I get to know now that reading lengthy nails will make your team improve Yahoo Mail then I promise to read lengthy mail.
