Now You Can:
Easily organize messages

by dragging and dropping them into folders, trash, wherever.

Quickly scan messages

in the handy Reading Pane.

Multitask with ease

using tabs to switch between different messages.

Keep your email safe

with SpamGuard and Norton AntiVirus™.

But one thing I wasnt able to acess it using Opera as a browser.[First Bug]

[shivaranjan.b]

[ejvyas]

thanks

[tuXian]

hey anyone from the ones who got the mail mid december actually got the mail beta?

knight when did u apply for it?

[Grace]

@ tuxian,
I had got the mail beta coming soon mail in december, got the invite day before yesterday

[champ_rock]

i got the new yahoo mail beta testing invitation.....

it rocks surely but definately not better than gmail..

From a pentium 3 point of view it s**ks.....because-
1. It is damn slow - You hve to wait for6-7 seconds before something happens
2. Somehow it is making the other progrmas also slow. The whole windows as well as linux literally crawl.
3. A lot of ram is taken up it. (not for those with less than 256mb rm)
4. Takes a lot of internet usage (About 500kb just to load up its interface)
5. Has got a big banner image ad at the right ?(they have tried to copy gmail but have failed miserably)
6. The message reading screen is kind of small and u feel that u r reading in a small box

reporting post lol, why do you report for such small things

^^^ The Moderators cannot always catch these "small things"... So, as responsible members of the forum, it is our unwritten duty to both guide newcomers on the etiquette and rules, and help ensure that they are followed...

BTW, For those who are interested in getting in, go to the "Whats new" link near the top of the main screen after login - there is a link to get on the waiting list... and it appears to be only for yahoo.com mail account holders at the moment...

[teknoPhobia]

I have a .co.uk mail ID with country set to india

[tuXian]

I read a news somewhere that Mail Beta has become an open Beta in Canada.. I am searching for the link... will update soon.

[ShekharPalash]

hmm..... don't know what was it....
I was on GAIM.... and i got a mail notification on it about an e-m,ail from a classmate... i opened it by clicking on GAIM's notification.... it opened in my browser firefox.... firefox gave me a security warning... about a DOMAIN NAME MISMATCH.... I allowed it... and it took me to a Yahoo! Mail page where it was saying:

"It's BETA! and you're invited".... I clicked on TRY IT and voila!!!.... My @ Yahoo.com mail is now Yahoo Mail BETA!!!

Hmm... I don't know how it happened... I just registered for BETA 2 weeks ago.... and I know Yahoo! takes few months to give out BETA...

Was it GAIM opening Yahoo! mails to some other Yahoo! Domain which is for BETA... ????

I'm surprisingly confused... but I got the BETA... tht's coolest thing!!!!

Anyone try it with GAIM version is 2.0.0BETA3....

[Vishal Gupta]

I regsitered 2 days before for Yahoo! Mail BETA on Whatsnew page and got the invitation yesterday :D

[ShekharPalash]

I regsitered 2 days before for Yahoo! Mail BETA on Whatsnew page and got the invitation yesterday :D

hmm.... thn may be it wasn't GAIM there with me... lol...
may be yahoo! giving invitations of selected users / random... or something like that.... btw i'm using my yahoo! from loooong time... 1998!!...

[navjotjsingh]

I finally got Yahoo! Mail Beta on a New account registered as .com few days back and got beta in 4 days flat!

My Native .co.in account still awaits it as it is currently for US Accounts only!

[mehulved]

I guess I should retry for beta invite.

[teknoPhobia]

It's not just for US accounts only, I have an UK account and I got the invite without registering for anything... in any case the country is set to India

[ranjithbajpe]

Hey! Have u noticed. If u dont want Beta version, u can turn back to old yahoo version. But with a difference. In Left corner there are 2 links 1. My photos 2. My attachements., Now I can download all photos which sent to my email id to computer. Nice. I think it is a copy from Gmail !!

[sakumar79]

BTW, do you get the confirmation (that you now will be using Yahoo Mail BETA) to your yahoo mail ID or the primary email ID specified?

Arun

[mehulved]

You will be asked to choose mail beta but only if your browser and OS are supported. zI signed up for beta once again two days back and in less than a minute got an invite. But, had to wait till logging into windows cos linux isn't supported and no support for opera browser too either :-(.

[azaad_shri75]

I did not get any invitation till now. :(

[champ_rock]

@tech_your_future

linux is not officailly supported but u can proceed without any problem... i worked on it and it was working fine

[Mylarapu84]

pls send me a invite for yahoomail beta ver.


I would be greateful to u




cheers,
Mahesh

[ashfame]

i use hotmail only, has anyone tried the new Hotmail beta.
If i don't like it then can i get the old hotmail back.
pl tell :roll:

[mehulved]

Go and be grateful to yahoo and its searching facilities.

[digitized]

I got the invite last month and have been using the new yahoo mail since then. The interface is great (Outlook style), loads faster and it has a lot of other new features, although I do not know about all of them, it was mentioned in the invite. Plus I think the biggest point is I can revert back to the old yahoo mail anytime, as the relevant link is provided.:)

[adit_sen]

I've been using it for a while, but am not fully satisfied with it. First of all the 'changed' interface is not supported in Firefox, and surprisingly, I get tonnes of errors when I use it on IE7 Beta 2. It only seems to work OK on IE6. Yeah, the toned down interface is much better than the original hotmail, but there's still a lota work left undone by Microsoft.

Yes, you can change back to the old interface if you're not satisfied with the new one.

peace...
