Y! Mail Beta Impressions
So thanks to a friend I was able to check out the beta of the new Y! Mail setup. This is the result of their purchase of Oddpost a while back and I have to say I’m pretty impressed. I enjoy dabbling with some more advanced javascript tricks and technology, but this makes me look like I can barely add two numbers. Dragging/Dropping messages worked fantastically and was really pretty, new folder creation was simple, the keyboard shortcuts all work really well, etc. Resizing of the different sections works pretty much how you’d expect as well. The best description I can come up with for it is that it’s like using Outlook Express in a web browser. It works in both IE and Firefox (both the 1.0.x branch and 1.5 Beta). This whole interface is very slick, and I am jealous beyond belief at the skills of the folks who wrote this. I’ve done AJAX interfaces before (here and here), but nothing on this scale.
Update: Ahaha, clicking on the “Subject” button in the compose window is a fun little easter egg. It dumps a random subject into the text field, here’s a sampling
- Happy New Now!
- I’ll take that drink now.
- Sensitive boyfriend sweater
- puking rainbows
- Unique and secret method in the history of preparing a treat for those who love spicy dishes.
- Dang! That’s the 10th Commandment I’ve broken today
- The twins just turned 2 and 4 this month!
- Get out of my dreams, get into my car.
- I AM the walrus.
Anyways, pictures ahoy!
Also, looks like google’s blogsearch is up (Try this one out). Nothing new or interesting brought to the table here that I can see.
UPDATE: I don’t have any invites to give out, I don’t know how Yahoo is deciding who gets into the beta. Sorry guys.

what about the notepad or calendar?
September 14th, 2005 at 8:25 am
Looks like they haven’t really decided what to do with them yet, there’s no links in the new interface for them. I’m not sure what the plan is for how to access them is going to be.
September 14th, 2005 at 9:13 am
a link to the existing yahoo calendar is there, just below the e-mail folders. no visible changes to the calendar yet.

Yahoo! Mail Beta - Review
The new Yahoo! Mail has been launched in a beta version, and the first reviews are starting to pop up on various sites. According to some sources the Oddpost.com (aquired by Yahoo! in 2004) has influenced the service quite a lot.
REVIEW: New Yahoo! …
September 14th, 2005 at 1:10 pm
I think the spellchecker (http://www.flickr.com/photos/tivac/43218642/) lacks innovation. I like gmail’s spellchecker more, but I think gmail’s idea is derived from a freeware spellcheck I had seen on the web (will find and post the link). Better still check out the spell-checker in http://www.collaze.com/JSP/editFictionProject.jsp
This site also features tabbed navigation, see http://www.collaze.com/JSP/editActiveFictionProject.jsp?projectId=3145729
for example
September 14th, 2005 at 1:35 pm
As for invites, I’m afraid I have nothing to do with that. Yahoo is probably going to be slowly extending the beta availability over the next few weeks, and I imagine that they will be sending it out to the paid users and heavy users first.
Look for an advertisement on the initial Mail screen after logging in, that’ll let you know if you can switch to the new interface.
September 14th, 2005 at 1:39 pm
Any chance you could try it in Safari on OS X and see if it’s compatible? There are a lot more Safari users on Mac than Firefox users.
September 14th, 2005 at 4:58 pm
Does anyone know when the new interface will become available to everyone?
September 14th, 2005 at 5:04 pm
Wow i love this is teh grate i want to use this on my mac since i cant play gamez.
September 14th, 2005 at 5:56 pm
This new look and functionality looks really promising. I also like the fact that they added support for Firefox.
September 14th, 2005 at 5:58 pm
They’re only doing it to compete with gmail, not because they care about their customers. They’re upping their interface to compete with google just like the upped their space, they do this ONLY to compete.
September 14th, 2005 at 6:11 pm
You can sign up to participate in the beta at http://whatsnew.mail.yahoo.com/
September 14th, 2005 at 6:15 pm
who cares if they are only doing it to compete? That’s how capitalism works. Companies compete for your $$
September 14th, 2005 at 6:23 pm
What I wanna know is what Google will do to respond, and how long it takes them to one-up Yahoo!.
September 14th, 2005 at 6:35 pm
I have been with Yahoo from almost the start, 10 years ago. I had 6 MB back then, and 6 MB a year ago. No improvement. No complaints; because in the first years I could use POP. Then they started to charge US$ 19.95, which is quite a lot in the place where I live.
And, to me remarkable, *not* for new accounts, but for existing ones as well. I had to put up with YoSucker and fetchyahoo.
As well as adding ever more ads, slowing down the services.
A few months back I could not get into my account, had a vivid exchange of email with their support staff.
That was the end of my patience, because - despite of all efforts - they were not able to really help me with useful advice. They kept insisting I had too low a data rate (which I had refuted a few times; I sit on a healthy ~50 kByte/sec); I had pointed out several times that I work on the Internet several hours per day and *all* other sites come in well. Their second proposal was a change of ISP. Which is useless, if yours is a monopoly and without alternative.
I had been willing to run diagnosis here; anything. Yahoo kept sending the always same text blocks (data rate, ISP).
Overall, I am grateful to have been with them for almost ten years; but in the end, they have shown a lack of improvement (I fully agree with the other comments on “not being competitive on their own; only when faced with google”), and an indecisive, half-hearted customer support.
So I finally - against my earlier convictions - signed up for google.
Whenever I had both open (tabs), google was twice as snappy; with a more intuitive UI, auto refresh, a more efficient spam filter (when you usually get the same spam in one account into Inbox while it goes into Spam on the other provider, you have a comparison !)
Final summary: Only the loser thinks of adding eye candy to a faltering business, I am afraid.
Yahoo better revamp their e-mail strategy and organisational chart.
2 sen,
Uwe

What’s wrong with the current user interface?
Will the new interface work with popular browsers?
Who needs these “bells and whistles” if the current interface does the job?
IMHO - CSS and DHTML just make life for end users much more complicated because of vague standards and too many bugs in browsers
September 14th, 2005 at 8:38 pm

September 14th, 2005 at 8:55 pm
I like the way the layout placed, very neat. Though somehow it more becoming like GMail or Outlook, but nevertheless everytime we have new message we don’t need to bother to click on the message title to show the actual message. So by the default, it will showing the actual message on the second windows (well i hope you know what i mean)
September 14th, 2005 at 9:29 pm
Found this on the ‘net. Is this for an older Beta?
1 Log into Yahoo! Mail
2 Click on the link that says “Try out the beta version of Yahoo! Mail,” directly below your unread message summary. Note: We will gradually make the beta version available to our users over a period of a few weeks, so you may not see this link immediately.
3 On the resulting page, click on the “Switch to Beta Version Now!” link, and you will see your mailbox with the new design.

Everglide: that’s exactly what I did. It just depends on when you get to see that beta invite.
September 14th, 2005 at 9:38 pm
Yahoo is a little better than M$ in the sense they don’t just copy everything from Google.
The interface looks good and quite innovative too. Gmail still rocks! just that ppl didn’t switch to it ‘coz of inertia principle probably.
Doubt if anybody would still care to use MSN’s hotmail?
September 14th, 2005 at 9:51 pm
Along with cool DHTML features and whatnot, I’m sure will be other “cool” ways to drive you right up a wall with annoying ads and advertising activities.
As if flash wasn’t annoying enough, I’m betting they’ll use DHTML and other techniques which will make it harder for “popup blockers” to detect and delete unwanted content.
September 14th, 2005 at 10:08 pm
Okay, for all asking for ‘invites’….
Yahoo isn’t handing them out willy-nilly. They aren’t letting current users invite new users the way GMail did it.
It’s purely at the hands of Yahoo. Posting ‘I’d like an invite’ on some random blog probably won’t get you an invite. Sign up at the link Foon provided, and if Yahoo wants to invite you, they’ll invite you.
(As for comparisons to GMail? Looks like it’s very very similar, to me; only with a more Yahoo-bent to it, adding formatting options. Maybe not similar in style, but similar in underlying technology.)
September 14th, 2005 at 10:15 pm
Does the beta version still add promotional tag lines at the end of every outgoing message?

I used oddpost for a while back in 2002 and I was hugely, hugely impressed.

I didn’t know they’d been acquired — it’ll be a true test of firefox to see whether this works.

I loved Yahoo! mail and have used it for at least 6 years. But…gmail still has free pop access, and forwarding and they just added the send as feature where you can have mail sent as a diff address that you register.
When is Yahoo going to offer these features and for free?
Until then, gmail is my mail client of choice.
September 15th, 2005 at 5:37 am
For those who think this is only about bells and whistles… it most certainly is not. I have not yet seen this thing for myself, but the technology they are using implies quite a few improvements.
The biggest is speed. By using javascript to exchange XML packets with the server (AJAX) they can significantly reduce the size of responses from the server which will translate to increased speed of use. This is not a minor thng. In fact, it is why Google’s offering is so good.
September 15th, 2005 at 6:35 am
It’s impressive from a technology standpoint, but I don’t care for the interface. The fact that they’re still using folders instead of tags/labels is rather boring. It looks like Yahoo’s innovation is mimicing a desktop mail app with a web app, which doesn’t excite me at all(there’s a reason I hate Outlook).
Also, it’s hard to tell from the screenshots, but one of googles best features is the way it handles conversations. Yahoo looks more like a traditional mail client in this regard, ensuring again that I won’t use it.
Yahoo had started to interest me earlier this year with some ideas that they ‘got it’, but lately I just haven’t been impressed.

Does anyone REALLY think Yahoo would be upgrading their free webmail service if it weren’t FOR Google?
Google blew the 2 MB & 4 MB model away and forced Yahoo and MS to upgrade their FREE services instead of leaving us high and dry.

Hey, I use Yahoo mail daily with my SBC Yahoo DSL subscription. I am CRAVING an invite to the new beta so if anyone can spare one please send one to netster007@sbcglobal.net PLEASE
I am using FireFox so i am hoping the beta won’t hav any glitches with it!
My current yahoo mail still doesn’t have the graphics toolbar in FF although it did 4 one week! Hopefully the beta will hav sum more stable FF support!
Also, for the past few months Yahoo mail will randomly load very SLOWLY for a little bit. Maybe its because of the beta development. Hey Yahoo, PLEASE get sum better servers!
Also, Yahoo seems to be taking 4ever to get launch and avatars and other features to work in FireFox, c’mon guys, gimme sum support!!!
I hav tried Gmail and i am a very tech literate person, however i was a fish out of water in Gmail. I cudn’t find the folders or do anything. (now i know a label is a folder)
Yahoo mail is just way more inviting and EZ to use. Also, i cud NEVER switch 2 Gmail for its lack of smileys
Also, Yahoo is just the best; some newbie can cum along and offer insane storage space but no other site gives u the infinite amount of fully integrated tools and recourses that yahoo provides.
Yahoo, ur definetly #1 but u g2 work on the servers and the browser support; and give us the beta!!!

A lot of the tab features are already available to those who know how to use tab extensions in firefox. Google’s more java interface doesn’t allow for me to use those features. Yahoo integrating tabs with the mail and providing it to everyone is great.
I personally like to see what Yahoo and Google (and to a lesser extent Microsoft) have to continuously offer since the competition just makes things better.

I have been a Yahoo Mail subscriber since 1998. I have been on this so-called “waiting list” for a LONG time. Are they EVER going to roll this Yahoo Mail Beta out??
I know everyone and their sister has been requesting an invitation so I don’t expect to receive one whatsoever (I’m not even expecting a response) but if you wanted to give a guy an early Christmas present I would be most appreciative for an invite to use this new mail browser.
Thanks,
Dan

How are they choosing who gets to test the beta? I too have been on the waiting list for a long time, and would love to try this new mail out.

March 8th, 2006 at 9:52 am
I like Yahooo Mail beta so much, please invite me if you have.
March 9th, 2006 at 8:31 am
I have no invites. I don’t know how you get into the beta, I had a friend suggest me for it. No, he can’t suggest anyone else.
I’m sorry but I can’t help any of you get into the beta.

The New UPDATED review of Yahoo! Beta is now up at http://301url.com/new-y-mail-beta-review
March 17th, 2006 at 8:36 am
helloo..Mail Beta is the thing that everyone want..I want too, because the Yahoo is the best,,,
Please if you could invite to get this Mail Browser….Thank you.!
March 23rd, 2006 at 2:27 pm
I don’t know what Yahoo is doing but they really kept their word of slow release of Beta b.coz I signed up for more then 3 months back and I still never got any link (though I’m in US).
Also, now everyone is copying Outlook 2003 which is MS product & ppl still compare with MS Hotmail - weired b.coz MS has already released something that others are using now to change their face and look better…
For people who are asking for the invite(s) please read it carefully as it is said very clearly - THERE IS NO INVITE for Yahoo Mail Beta. Yahoo is sending link randomly… So just wait and keep watching your mailbox…
March 24th, 2006 at 8:51 am

dear sir i like to use the new beta version of
yahoo mail starting from April 8 ,2006 i get some problem which it doesn’t contact to yahoo mail
server just it search the server so if the problem is fixable pleas tell me in my yahoo mail add b/c i
like it i don’t miss to use it
April 9th, 2006 at 10:45 pm
YES!!! I GOT THE BETA
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Although, i cudnt get it w/ SBC, so i created a new free account and signed up and about 4 months later (a week ago) I GOT IT.
I suggest anyone do this if you use a Y! service partner and want the beta!
u can set up the old account to auto-forward messages to ur new account, so u dont even hav 2 tell every1 about it
THEY Y! MAIL BETA IS BY FAR THE BEST WEB MAIL ON THE PLANET!!!!!!
its faster, easier, and cooler than any other webmail i’ve used.
For those of u that want it, just get on the waiting list and be patient, your time will come. Yahoo has finally moved on to providing the beta to free users, so u shouldnt need to wait long

hope the new yahoo beta version can retieve mails that have not yet been opened by the recipient.
much faster and efficient but so much like the microsoft outlook.

Hi, I have just upgraded to yahoo mail beta but can’t find any invites. I had an option when I logged in. Try clicking on ‘Whats new’ and it takes you to a beta mail site. I found a way some how but don’t remember it. The Upgrade is superb. With full Firefox support it meets with my approval. The multi tab support feature is great and, for a unsure user, the upgrade is easy to handel with a similar yet better layout.
If you have signed up to a .NET passport (eg. MSN) email clients such as outlook won’t work. I’ve tested it with accountsa with a passport and accounts without. Coincidence? I think not!
Enjoy the new Yahoo mail as it is a superb improvement!

How To Join Yahoo Mail Beta By Tricking Yahoo
Posted by Ryan on 24 Apr 2006 1:52 pm. Filed under Software - General.
It is now possible to join Yahoo Mail Beta by changing your content Country to the UK, Germany or France. As soon as you change the setting and return to your email it will ask you to join Yahoo Mail Beta. Make sure you change your content preference and NOT the country for your address.
How to change your content preference:
Login to Yahoo Mail.
Select Mail Options.
Select Account information from the left panel.
Go to Member Information > General Preferences > Preferred Content.
Select Yahoo UK.
Select Finished.
Go to Yahoo Mail.
A page will be displayed that says “It’s the New Yahoo! Mail Beta… and you’re invited.â€
Click on “Try Beta Nowâ€.
You can then change your Preferred Content setting back to normal by repeating the steps above.
This has worked for many people so make sure you do it before it gets fixed by Yahoo.

Oh good Gods I’ve been hanging out for this day for so long. As a subscribing Oddpost user, the big win for me is Firefox support. Finally I can ditch IE forever.
Oddpost was such a compelling experience that I actually kept using IE for the sole purpose of Oddpost!

Can someone help me ? I can run and access Yahoo!Mail beta from IE 7.0 browser. But when I tried to do that under Firefox 2.01, I keep getting this error message : “Looks like your operating system is incompatible.” My PC OS is Windows XP (SP2).
I had tried to troubleshoot by running Firefox under SAFE mode and with most Add-Ons and extensions diabled. But still get the same error message.
Help ………………..
