Yahoo! Mail beta

If you haven't heard of the new Yahoo! Mail, do check out new.mail.yahoo.com. The interface is close to Microsoft Outlook. Some of the features which stands out among the tonnes Yahoo! has put together for this beta:
  • Tabbed mail browsing
  • Right click menu shows the custom menuitem from Yahoo! and not the default browser context menu
  • Split view of message list and the message content. Similar to any desktop mail client
  • Compose window is quite similar to Outlook
  • One can view RSS feeds subscribed in My Yahoo.

Of there are some in Gmail which are quite handy and not yet in Yahoo! mail beta:
  • Attachment is not that seamless like Gmail
  • Messages are organized in conversations which is till not the case in Yahoo mail
There should be many more. However, Yahoo! has done a great job with this beta. Earlier they released the new Mail search which was again quite outstanding.

Umesh,
This is same as rediffmail.
Rediffmail has changed its look some 1 or 2 months ago. This is on the same line.
