Comments on: Yahoo revamps Mail to make it faster, more efficient http://gigaom.com/2012/12/11/yahoo-revamps-mail-to-make-it-faster-more-efficient/ Thu, 23 May 2013 03:52:38 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: mary http://gigaom.com/2012/12/11/yahoo-revamps-mail-to-make-it-faster-more-efficient/#comment-1263979 Mon, 17 Dec 2012 20:01:45 +0000 http://gigaom.com/?p=592946#comment-1263979 The new mobile version sucks. Cannot get notifications. Must manually refresh to get new messages. Must sign in each time you want to check mail. Time to forward Yahoo to gmail and phase out this account.

Things will start to get really interesting if they open it up to business users with custom domains like Google does with its Apps products.

None of these interface changes are revolutionary. Almost any web-savvy Yahoo Mail user could have told them what to do. It was so infuriating that logging in did not take me directly to the inbox. Sending or replying to an email did not revert me back to the inbox.

Also, what’s up with the blog posts by the CEO and the GM of Yahoo Mail? Both posts use a ridiculous picture (http://ymailupdates.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/Web-Win81.jpg) that hardly shows any details. And this is supposed to be one of the biggest online media companies? Shameful!

It reminds me of something I’d created in the 90s on geocities. Yahoo has always had the nicest, although the new outlook.com is pretty snazzy.

But a lot of people around the world use Yahoo. Not sure if this increases that number but it might help them hold on to some users.

I generally use Gmail all across the board, but I still have my Yahoo Mail to for when I sign up for “free offers,” i.e., spam.
