Yahoo Mail now has been 18 years
old, and to celebrate its anniversary, Yahoo has just released a new version of
Yahoo Mail application. This app has been overhauled, and can even be used by
the owners of other email accounts.
Yes, the new version of Yahoo Mail application can be used
as a client to the owners of email accounts on Outlook.com, Hotmail or AOL
Mail. Yahoo claims that there's no feature trimming when the application is
used along with other email accounts.
The new version of Yahoo Mail offers several features; the
first feature is about the password. Previously, Yahoo had introduced On-Demand
Password feature, which's claimed as the first step towards the modern era
where the password is no longer relevant. Yahoo is now officially introducing
the Account Key feature. So now every time you want to access your Yahoo
account on a desktop or other device, a notification will appear on the
smartphone, when you tap "Yes", then you will soon enter your Yahoo
account without having to type the difficult password.
Yahoo Mail app now looks cleaner and tidier than before.
Yahoo also claims that its performance is much more responsive and smoother.
Interestingly, you can also access the Yahoo News whenever you want simply by
touching the icon in the upper right - email and news in the same application.
Search function now also has been enhanced; you can now
search for e-mails which only contain attachments from your colleagues or
friends. When you write an email, you can choose to include photos and videos
as an attachment or directly put them in the email body. The last interesting
feature is you can hold the Compose button to send an email to yourself
quickly.
The new version of Yahoo Mail app is already available for
both iOS and Android users. The interface has been optimized for mobile devices
such as the iPad.
