Yahoo Mail Beta Rolls Out Worldwide

All the integrated apps seem like a cool idea. The big Ad on the right is a huge turnoff though. Just what I want in email, American Express spam... just like snail mail...

It looks like they could make better use of the blank space in the inbox area. There are no columns after the flag.

There are little things that are off in the UI as well, like the mouse icon turns in to a hand when you hover over the inbox, even if you're not hovering over an email. Small things like that irk me.

Anyway, looks like they're at least trying.

Positives: It does seem to load pages faster. Nearly instant instead of the 1-2 second delay I was used to with the previous version.

Still seems a little buggy though. Unread count in my browser title includes all the spam messages. Can't turn off automatically signing in to IM.

Hopefully this will cause GMail to take a look at their own performance. Loading some labels/searches takes 20+ seconds or it just times out.

I do like that they left console.log() on in production to give you a glimpse at how quickly it loads up.

I for one am looking forward to this. Yahoo Mail has been my default spam email address account for about 13 years now. I will now be able to login quicker so that I can click those email address validation links thanks to this.

I'd be pretty pissed if I got shot in the face every time I checked my email.

It's time Yahoo just gave up.
