Does anyone know of a good regularly updated Google group
for Yahoo
Mail Beta?
If you want to try out Yahoo Mail Beta follow the
instructions at this
site http://www.g
mailtools.com/2006/04/24/41/
Yes I know it says gmailtools.com but the instructions for
the Mail
Beta are there. It worked for me, and its so simple! Yahoo
Mail Beta
is excellent! I have two favorite mail providers now Yahoo!
and Google.

Have you tried it out. I like it, but nothing in this
universe will
pry me away from Gmail. I am familiar with Yahoo! as I used
it before
switching to Gmail.

Judie, follow the instructions in the link that Dave gave in
his first
email and you'll be able to see for yourself. The new mail
beta feels
like a desktop application - think of Outlook. Personally I
find it
rather slow and sluggish, but it's still in beta. Hopefully
they'll
make it more snappy.

It takes forever to download. I tried to log in last night on my computer, and it took forever. I gave up. I have a dial up connection.

I have the beta option on an old yahoo account -- i was invited to try it several months ago, which i did.
I agree that it is slow and sluggish....i switched back to original yahoo.
I prefer gmail. My yahoo account is used there to collect the nonsense mail when I don't want to give out my "real" email address.

Yahoo Mail Beta is by invitation only. After you log on there may be an invitation on the first page. If you want to jump through some hoops, you can click on my account link after you sign in, go down to the what I think is the language preference and change it to UK English, click finish, a screen wil open inviting you to Yahoo Mail Beta. It is far from perfect if you have a dial-up connection.

I also agree that it is slow and sluggish even though I have
a
broadband connection. As for unwanted email, I have a
separate Gmail
address for that which I also use to post to these groups

It's very heavy on the client side, but also consider that
they just
now (these past 1-2 weeks) pushed it to a wider audience. My
guess is
that more than the number of Gmail users were invited and
switched
their Yahoo Mail accounts to the beta version these past 2
weeks. I'm
sure there are quirks to iron out, although it's getting to
be heavier
than Gmail on the browser. I don't see it becoming very
popular like
that.
"Rich-client" web applications like Gmail have
been known to be rather
heavy load for the browser due to all the javascript code
that needs
to be downloaded and executed. With the number of highly
skilled
people employed at Yahoo and Google, I hope their webmail
apps become
even snappier and light in the near future.
