[56K]Exclusive! NEW Yahoo! Mail Beta


Recommended Posts

Here is some more info about this from BetaNews

Yahoo on Tuesday began a limited beta test of a new Web mail system, which includes a redesigned interface that mirrors desktop-based clients like Microsoft Outlook. Drag and drop features are supported through DHTML, and a new search engine brings added support for attachments.

Yahoo said in June it was planning to launch a new version of Yahoo! Mail that would feature an instant preview pane. Many of the changes in the beta were taken from the company's acquisition of Oddpost last year. Users who dislike the new version will be given an option to switch back to the traditional interface.

So much for your EXCLUSIVE! AquaDex, better luck next time. To think you would have an exclusive when the news is all over haha.

Knowing that the new mail system has gone Beta doesn't mean they have access to it, if you pay attention none of the news sites has offered screenshots yet.

Nobody is using the Beta except Oddpost subscribers who chose to participate at this stage, they will begin to roll out the Beta to the 'more frequent Yahoo! Mail users' in the coming 1-2 months and eventually be rolled out to all Yahoo! Mail users in the coming 6 months. (Or so I was told)

Thread updates with lots of new screenshot goodies, if you want to know anything more feel free to ask.

And no it doesn't work with Oprah, it gives you a page complaining browser not supported when you use Oprah to access the beta and offer you to use the old interface or log out.

Original post updated with lots new screenshot goodies.

If you need any more information feel free to ask and I'll surely answer them.

And no it doesn't work in Oprah, it complains about unsupported browser and offers you to use the old mail interface or log out.

enail is email but user interface wise, The new yahoo looks better because it tries to look and function like an offline email program like outlook.

hotmail is now behind in the times..

To give them credit Yahoo started this project more than 10 months ago, while AOL started theirs a little more than 5 months...

How can I become a Beta tester for Yahoo mail?

You will be able to, eventually most active Yahoo! Mail users (people got an account and actually use it) will be switched to the new interface to test it, but patience is gold my friend, so if you don't already have Yahoo! Mail, sign up for one and begin to use it :yes:

Microsoft is coming out with a new Hotmail, except it's neither looking sweet or has tons of space... So I think Microsoft is going to disappoint you this time

Anyway this new system is still quite buggy, I already find 30+ problems with it that needs to be fixed, so there's still some time to go:pinch:h:

Edited by AquaDex
Looks cool. But I've finaly managed to get people to stopp emailing me at yahoo and hotmail and use my gmail for everything, so not making another switch back.

That's why I decided to use my own domain for e-mails already, the mail service switch is getting frustrating :pinch:

By the way I shrunk the images now, click on it and you can see the full version, I shrunk the image so much that dialup users should be able to browse this thread without problem actually...

    • Rockstar confirms Grand Theft Auto VI pre-orders begin next week, unveils cover art by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The release date of Grand Theft Auto VI has moved quite a lot since its original announcement in 2023, but it finally looks like the game has found its final launch slot. Rockstar today had a new video upload on its YouTube channel, and while it wasn't a new trailer for the game, the company revealed two things. This was the pre-order kickoff date for Grand Theft Auto VI as well as the game's official cover art. The company revealed that June 25 is when fans of the series will be able to pre-order their copy of Grand Theft Auto VI. Pre-orders will be available both digitally and in retail stores. The newly unveiled cover art shows off the two new protagonists, as well as a few more characters that are probably vital to the campaign storyline. Shots of vehicles players can use like a light helicopter, motorcycle, sports car, and speed boat are also seen here, alongside a shot of a crocodile. "Jason and Lucia have always known the deck is stacked against them," says Rockstar describing the campaign's protagonist duo. "But when an easy score goes wrong, they find themselves on the darkest side of the sunniest place in America, in the middle of a conspiracy stretching across the state of Leonida — forced to rely on each other more than ever if they want to make it out alive." Grand Theft Auto VI is coming to Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 on November 19, 2026. A PC version has not been confirmed yet, though it's expected by many to land after the console release. When asked about this, the Take-Two CEO says it considers the core audience for the Grand Theft Auto franchise to be on consoles.
    • In rare occasions when you turn your computer on you will be greeted with a Secure Boot error followed by the message "No boot device found" If you go into the UEFI and disable Secure Boot the system boots up just fine. Below is a method I found online to fix the issue Disable Secure Boot and boot into Windows (If Bitlocker is enable you'll have to go to https://aka.ms/myrecoverykey on another device to find your bitlocker recovery key). Find a flash drive and make sure it's formatted Fat32 Create a folder on the flash drive called EFI and a subfolder inside EFI called BOOT On your computer navigate to C:\windows\boot\EFI Copy the file SecureBootRecovery.efi to your flash drive\EFI\BOOT Now reboot the computer and tell the computer to boot off that flash drive. You should see a black screen with some text telling you it has repaired Secure Boot Turn Secure Boot back on and reboot and your computer should boot normally.
