    Does anybody use Yahoo mail? I still wonder why do they have an option called "View" when you are opening a mail with pictures attached. In gmail, for image attachments, we have two options, "View", "download" and they server their meanings right. But in Yahoo, no matter you select "view" or "Save", it takes you to the Download page. Useless option. X|


    OK,. what country just started work for the day ? The ASP.NET forum is flooded with retarded questions. -Christian Graus Best wishes to Rexx[^]

      I stopped using Yahoo mail a looooong time ago. I preferred Hotmail to Yahoo Mail back then because it was so bad. Now its just Gmail.

          Yahoo Mail currently is one of the best web mails. IMO, it's better than GMail.

              The interface provides a very 'desktop-like' experience. Google tries to move in the same direction with the new interface. OTOH, I dislike GMail's 'threaded' mail organization which cannot be turned off. Yahoo's disadvantage is the non-free Pop access.

                I do use yahoo mail but I still use the old interface and not the new one. This is mainly because when I tried the new interface it was very bad at handling folders with several thousand messages. I am not sure if this changed though. -- modified at 11:41 Sunday 25th November, 2007

                    I find yahoo mail to be much slower than gmail and that the new interface (at least in beta) was not at all usable for me because I have several thousand emails in each folder.

                      Yeah, even I dont remember me- clicking on "Try our new feature!-Beta!" anywhere . I always search for the "No thanks" link cuz I know BETA is always a PITA.

                          Not just slow. Painfully slow, eating the memory and freezing the browser at least in its BETA appearance. Also, the HTML Email has a nagging bug. When you hit the BULLET icon, you expect the bullet to start at the cursor context right? But it always places the bullets on top. I reported this to CustomerCare and they could not reproduce it and wants a screenshot.

                            What volume? I've got a dedicated mailing list account that was at >2gig/350k messages the last time I checked (~2mo ago).
