Yahoo Mail Beta

Sunday, September 17th, 2006

I have just revisited Yahoo! Mail after reading several articles and blogs discussing the new beast. Another prime model of Web 2.0 and Ajax. Quite a nice offering they have put together. Drag and drop folders in the Outlook style, it is a little friendlier than Google Mail and more familiar with its resemblance of a traditional desktop email client. SMS alerts are a neat feature, especially WAP access to inbox. It also allows you to retrieve mail from POP addresses and filter it in Yahoo Mail, handy for when on the move or out of the office for a while. I’m not sure if Google Mail has a similar feature, but this is probably the one feature that would tear me away from desktop shackles (or more appropriately, Microsoft shackles). With 1Gb of storage there’s plenty room for some time to come. Still in beta, but it seems fairly well rounded, anyone using Yahoo Mail I say try the new beta, anyone else I say open a Yahoo account and take a look for yourself…
