[56K]Exclusive! NEW Yahoo! Mail Beta


Recommended Posts

It is ridiculous if it doesnt support Opera.

Opera is the most standard compliant browser.And if it doesnt support that it means that it isnt sticking to the standards.  :angry:

Oh, wouldn't it be a wonderful utopia if the DHTML for IE worked in Firefox worked in Opera worked in Safari? Yea, you're not gonna get that though.

And last I checked, no, Presto (Opera) isn't the most standards-compliant rendering engine.

what is the calendar like

The calendar link simply puts you back to the old calendar (http://calendar.mail.yahoo.com/), so it's not updated yet, but will be in a future Beta release, together with newsfeed support.

no we actually have no official hint of anyway as about any future implementations. Though it seems obvious the calendar will be part of it we cannot say for sure if the newsfeed will be included as it already is in the current version.

Same thing for the Notepad that does not even have a link to the old one on this beta.

As for entering the beta, a Yahoo official told me there should be an invite system similar to gmail.

As for the Microsoft Mail beta , right now it's behind this one for few reasons: it does n't have drag and drop suppport, no rightclick menus on messages or folders.

THe features are good, but wow... 100MB of ram... imagine that in Firefox. :(

Speaking of Firefox and to answer your question, I have posted 2 new screenshots on it running in Firefox (and how much memory it uses, heck it runs faster in Firefox too), and the error Oprah users are going to get when trying to use the Beta.

looks pretty good. too bad they don't have free POP3 like google. I still like my yahoo mail more than msn thou. MSN are a bunch of jerks who disable your account if you don't sign in like once a week.

yahoo ****es me off sometimes thou because it seems like email doesn't get through. I use that account for web forms and for some sites when I do the forgotpass thing and it says it sends it but it never makes it. it works just fine with aim and msn mail. =/

Well you can't blame them, I get the exact same problem, but not Yahoo in my case, it's Hotmail, I have a Personal Address with MSN and I use it all the time, but the problem is I keep missing e-mails with them...

The new Yahoo! Mail Beta powered by Oddpost has just been released to a very limited number of Beta testers (including those Oddpost subscribers previously selected to opt-in), new features include an offline mail client-like interface, tabbed windows (no pop-ups), cascaded menus and toolbars.

Screw reviews! A picture is worth a thousand words!

Drag-and-drop, but looks like Yahoo! don't want me to put my e-mail back into my Inbox...

YMailBetaK_t.gif

...instead they want me to put it in my contacts...

YMailBetaL_t.gif

This is the pop-up menu you get when right-clicking on a message:

As always heavy scripting and DHTML means alot CPU and RAM usage, this is no exception either:

Intutive search:

    • You can enable the Nova redesign in Firefox 152, under about:config
    • As long as Manifest v2 extensions keep working. I always enable compact mode from about:config. I hope I won't have to switch to LibreWolf or WaterFox anytime soon.
    • Threads scales past half a billion users, brings deeper community and feed controls by Fiza Ali Meta has announced Threads crossing a major milestone of 500 million monthly active users. And, at the heart of this growth sits something simple: communities. From books to basketball, parenting to music, Threads says its rise has been powered by people clustering around shared interests and, in turn, giving the platform its identity. In response, the platform is expanding its Communities feature beyond beta and introducing a set of new tools designed to make participation easier and more engaging. A redesigned Communities Hub will now appear in the main navigation menu, allowing users to jump between groups without leaving their feed. Each community will also receive a distinct Community Icon, giving them clearer visual identity and making them easier to recognise across the platform. Then there’s Community Progress, which is a kind of live gauge showing how close a topic is to becoming a full-fledged community, alongside guidance on how users can contribute to its development. In addition, Meta is also expanding its Community Champions programme, recognising more users who actively contribute to community engagement. And then things go more local; Local Communities is already available in 100 countries, including North America, South America, Asia, and Europe but are now rolling out with native-language tags starting in Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan. The platform is also expanding Live Chats to more communities in the coming weeks, adding features such as co-hosting and the ability to quote moments directly into users’ feeds. Beyond communities, Meta is tightening the loop between users and their feeds. Earlier this year came "Dear Algo," a feature that lets people tell Threads what they want more or less of. Now it’s being paired with a new tool, "Your Algo." It allows people to adjust how frequently certain topics appear, with options lasting one, three, or seven days. Meta says these preferences remain private and can be managed alongside “Dear Algo” in a unified settings hub. The rollout begins in the US, Canada, UK, Australia, and New Zealand. Finally, the company says these changes are part of an ongoing effort to refine Threads based on user feedback and that further updates will continue as the platform evolves.
