Yahoo Mail Gets A Facelift

Wednesday June 29, 2005
This via InternetWeek.com:
"Yahoo Inc. on Tuesday said it plans to begin testing this summer the biggest overhaul ever of its web-mail service, changing the interface so it behaves more like a desktop-client application, such as Microsoft Outlook.

The Sunnyvale, Calif., portal said the beta version of Yahoo Mail would include features like drag and drop email organization and message preview, but still operate out of a web browser. The new version would support Mozilla Foundation's Firefox, Microsoft Corp.'s Internet Explorer and other browsers."

I've had my personal email at Yahoo for as long as they've had email, which was 1997. Same email address and everything. And I've never had one problem. So I'm both looking forward to the changes and kind of getting nervous about them as well. Change can be scary...and speaking of change, have you checked out About's new forums? Let me know what you think.
