Yahoo To Update Mail Service

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the see-capitalism-is-a-good-thing dept.

tonyq writes "Yahoo! is beginning beta testing of a completely reworked UI for Yahoo! Mail that incorporates DHTML technologies. The web-based application resembles a desktop e-mail client. Features include message preview; drag-and-drop filing; the capability of quickly searching e-mail headers, body text and attachments; and the ability to view multiple e-mails at the same time in separate windows and scroll through all message headers in a folder rather than one page at a time. Other niceties are auto-complete, right-click menus and standard keyboard shortcuts. A user who got an early look has graciously posted screenshots. Yahoo is also taking signups on their what's new for Mail page."

    Does it bother anyone else that an article with the headline Britney Spears gives birth to baby boy is listed under technology news?

      We can rebuild her. We have the technology.

    Okay, the term Slashdottet has existed for years now. When is Slashdot going to provide links to mirrors in the story? I hope the new Slashdot design will incorporate this as it's getting annoying to click on the link in the story, wait, wait, wait, abort, browse the comments for a mirror, and then see what the story is all about. For those of you that say I should just use this or this mirror, all I have to say is that if there's already automatic mirrors why not just include it in the story *sigh*.
