[Design] [Scooby] Yahoo mail beta: AJAX-ified!

[Priscilla Chung]

I think the news was out a few months back, but you can finally  
switch to play with the beta since yesterday. Matthew sent out a how- 
to steps to view Yahoo beta on IRC today: http:// 
mansoor.hadeedian.net/blog/2006/04/25/how-to-upgrade-to-new-yahoo- 
mail-beta

Some interesting observations:
+ A very outlook express like (a resizable 3 pane) interface
+ Nice drag and drop features
+ Keyboard shortcuts ie. using the arrow key to select messages up  
and down, scroll wheel to move pages up and down in a window pane
+ Composing a new email will open in a new tab within the Yahoo  
application
+ You can right click on the folders to create a new folder etc.
+ My Yahoo calendar, note pad pops up on in a new window, not  
integrated.
+ Default RSS feed in the side folder
+ The ads are still out of control annoying.

Anything else? ;)
