New for Yahoo! Mail – Multicoloured Mail

The standard Yahoo! Mail interface was grey (sorry, chrome) – smart, slick and professional. But it’s Autumn now and it’s grey enough outside so we thought: let’s have a bit of colour!

Now you can choose from one of six colours for your inbox. It’s one of the things people have been asking for ever since we launched new Yahoo! Mail Beta and we’re really pleased with the results. Hope you are too.
colours
Here’s how to splash about some colour:

  1. Click on the Options menu (top right, next to Help)
  2. Roll over the Colours selection
  3. Make your choice
  4. Try out the other five (optional)

Enjoy.

keep losing my inbox e-mails need help

 
Comment by John Richer

October 17th, 2007 at 8:54 am

I am receiving lots of vulgar spam and wish to create a new name for myself to avoid this in future.

I would like a name that is easily alterable so that if this situation arises again I can easily create a new one.
For example add a number after my name which I can change if necessary to create a new identity

When I try to enter as a new user, your system takes me back to my old name.

First thing tried to do to get colored mail was to click as told on the options menu next to help but I cannot see one on my page or computer hence cannot advance any further !!
Going downhill now from my last comment where I put seemed quite good to now – will let pou know if it continues (or words to the effect of)

Great about time yahoo caught up with Microsoft Hotmail.Although Hotmail allows you to choose from every single colour in the rainbow and every shade of each individual colour.Not knockinh Yahoo thou you made an effort atleast to let people modify the look of your Yahoo mail.Please add a colour chart in the future.

It’s good that you are making a change
but me and lot of pleple l talk think the colours are no different to the old ones and just 6 colours maby u can put patterns or bonfireworks background or birthday cake or flowers anything like that. But one coloure is just plain simple and boring i no lot’s of people that think so to that’s why lot’s of my friends move to hotmail. NO EFFENCE think about the peoples idea

I started using yahoo mail when i was on a computer course at work and enjoy using it besides improving the web page with colour isn’t time you changed the yahoo mail character or is that the yahoo emblam that wheres the yahoo mail cape can’t you improve on that. And improve on the download speed when clicking on the google button to get into yahoo sometimes takes ages.

yours sincerely

In fact yahoo is progressing and I really love its fitures. But onething I have been encountered is that, I cannot view all my pictures been stored as I was seeing them at first, nowadays.

make it different then msn hotmail……its all the same as they provide……its fantastic that you are providing the colour system but make it a different, such as themes and setiings….with personalized things to make it different……anything wanted to tell what i really think of yahoo……

Comment by Agnes

October 22nd, 2007 at 3:31 pm

I think I agree with Micheal Amoako. Yahoo is progressing as he said and the fitures are lovable. However, one cannot view pictures stored as it was before. Secondly, I think Yahoo is too slow a little bit. On the whole Yahoo is on top. Keep it up.

Comment by Tammy

October 22nd, 2007 at 5:49 pm

Nice but pity there is no colour that covers all aspects of yahoo, there is not enough colour, all you can see it top box’s and a few lines, why not make it so all backgrounds can be changed also, as white is boring, so colour would do it justice.

Comment by fuying

October 23rd, 2007 at 4:52 pm

i really appreciate what yahoo has done so far. to be honest, i think yahoo!mail is the best. besides making much much easier for us to check our own mails, it has improved a lot on the colour in particular. but a little extra pattern would be nicer. and for those who said hotmail is better, i beg to differ.

 
Comment by monkam

October 23rd, 2007 at 5:20 pm

the new colors are cool, but the colors should be added, we know lots of cool colors. part from that i’ve been enjoying the all new yahoo mail !!!

 
Comment by Madeleine

October 23rd, 2007 at 6:56 pm

I don’t care about the colour – but I do wish you hadn’t introduced that awful reading panel. It’s useless and means you cant see as many of your emails as before. It also jumps too much when you scroll down.

I don’t have the headings “Send Feedback, Mobile, Options, Help” underneath the Search box on my screen. Not on the Inbox screen, or any other screen. So I can’t choose colours. Or get Help. Can anyone tell me why these headings are missing?
Regards

 
Comment by helena

October 26th, 2007 at 10:32 am

hi i think its really good but i think u should be able to choose more than one colour at a time and have more colour scemes and maybe some patterns to choose from but apart from that i think its great and stops it from being boring.

how many people with B.T Yahoo have as many problems as me with login sessions expired which means you cannot access your email, and have to put in your password 10 to 15 times before its finally excepted only to find login session is expired, I now have to delete history, cookies, tm files every day and I am paying

I don’t see why this had to be done because we can choose “themes” for the inbox also from Options, so this doesn’t make any difference. I’d prefer seeing free stationery for everyone’s use =)

the colour selection is very limited .Please allow for more colour choice getting the reader to read the message has colour and life

 
Comment by gopinder

October 28th, 2007 at 3:56 pm

you should put a bigger range of colours. or allow the member to create a theme. for exaple have leaves in green for nature etc. have oceans in blue etc. i think you should have a tool where you can pick your own colour from different shades. or even add your own pictues for your background.

Comment by Regina

October 30th, 2007 at 11:45 pm

I think its a great idea , one suggestion please, could it be possible to change the colour of the white background as well. I am colour sensitive=asfedic and white hurts as does red. Besides that It would be rather pleasant to have something other than white.

i ve tryed yours and several times it hasnt added my contacts very easily and often wont let me even add yahoo users.
i think a whole rethink is needed to compete with msn”s way of working.
many thanks wayne.

how many people with B.T Yahoo have as many problems as me with login sessions expired which means you cannot access your email, and have to put in your password 10 to 15 times before its finally excepted only to find login session is expired, I now have to delete history, cookies, tm files every day and I am paying& in addition it very slow

Agree with some of the posts: the colour schemes available are a bit hard on the eyes.

A few colour schemes for those who are on their PC most of the day would be nice :)

I have 4 different Yahoo email adresses. How can I retrieve all 4 at one place?


Hi Paul,
You can add extra email addresses to your account. Just click on “Options”, then “Accounts” then click “Add or edit an account”. Once in the Mail Accounts section you can add up to 5 other email addresses to check mail from.
Hope that helps,
Andrew – Yahoo! Mail Team

Hia Think you need to add more brighter colors and maybe animations and style fonts that we can personalise . It can get pretty boring reading mail from a dull inbox .
Defo need to brighten up . But good job with every thing else . xxx

If you switch to old yahoo, can you switch back.


Hi Katie,
You can switch back and forth as much as you like.

If you want to switch from All-new Mail to Classic follow these instructions: http://ymailuk.com/blog1/2007/11/01/switch-to-classic/

If you want to switch from Classic to all-new Mail follow these instructions:
http://ymailuk.com/blog1/2007/11/01/switch-to-new-mail/

I sometimes switch between the two versions a few times a day :-)

We need more skins and better animations please!!
Also mail seems to be taking for ever to appear in INBOX from hotmail and tiscali, Also receiving more spam than ever and seem to be having more problems with settings sticking- for example when creating a new message it lets me type in email address but when i try to compose the message, it wont let me put the cursor in text box to type message???

I WAS VERY DISAPPOINTED WHEN YAHOO NEVER CHANGED OVER 100′S OF MY PHOTOS TO FLIXSTER – AND WHEN I TRIED TO FIND THEM THEY HAVE ALL GONE???

Nice idea – my only comment is that the drop-down interface is a bit painful to use – it took several attempts for me to change the colour, especially the colours that were lower down the list. Thought it might be worth pointing out in case you are using this sort of interface in other products you have in development.

1. In blueyonder there is the option to go straight to the inbox when opening E-mail.
Could Yahoo use this option?

2. Users are invited to transfer their address books, but the range of options does not include Blueyonder. Why not?
It’s a slow business re-writing the whole list.

i rly like the new yahoo mail! and it’s great that i can talk to people from it that are on MSN, even though i am not! but i wish that when i use the messenger on yahoo and talk to people that are currently on MSN, that it doesn’t say my email, but that i could get a chance to change it to my name instead, so ppl know who they are talking to. anyway, i think that new colours idea was great! but hotmail also had that, and they have a bigger variety though. so could you please, add more colours! :D

P.S: I think it would be GREAT if you also could add paterns to decorate your inbox instead of just plain colours!

thank you

Great idea, I chose pink although I’m not a ‘pinky’ type of girl and it lit up my screen beautifuly. I agree we need some colour in the winter. Here in the Czech Republic we tend to have a beautiful winter with plenty of snow but it can also be very gloomy (as it is at the moment) so thanks and all the best in 2008.xxx

Pretty lousy colours. All kinda putrid and odd looking. What happened with the old mix ‘n’ match colours on the old yahoo! Sorry, but this collection of colours is too small and they are really uneventful! Someone’s being a little too clever and not giving us much choice.
Back to the drawing board, eh?

Hi – great work – however, I think a more useful enhancement would be a SEARCH function – I.E. So you can retrieve only e-mails with %words% in the Subject or all from a specific sender.

Thanks

How come, most times when I add a new folder, I loose my place in the “in-Box”, and other times it just freezes and I had to close Yahoo Beta and then sign in again, it’s very annoying. Can you make it easier like the Yahoo Original, where it had a “New Folder” option in the “Move” drop-down menu. Thank You.
