An open Yahoo Mail API is sure to encourage development that will ultimately simplify my life. I consider this good news! To the naysayers out there... Yahoo Mail is similar to Outlook and that alone makes it relevant. I use Yahoo (paid version) for work and Gmail for personal. I've actually had better overall experience with Yahoo mail, but tend to prefer Google's applications due to their generally clean interface, innovative approach, and their uncanny ability to understand what I want. It's a shame to shoot down a company based on outdated experience or misinformation, regardless of your personal preference.</p> I use tools that simplify my digital life.

Personally, I would not be excited about anything Yahoo does.. They simply react to Google.. Google Apps premium has 10g storage btw. And I am sure they’ll ramp that number up in the not too distant future..

Perhaps after MS buys Yahoo..?

what would you do with a Yahoo Mail API?

Nothing. Yahoo is no longer a relevant company and the blame for their demise rests squarely on the Terry Semel who should have remained employed in the old media world.
