Like them both. As an advertiser I was in on the very first round of Gmail invites and got several great account IDs I've always wanted. Yet I still use my Yahoo account more for my primary personal email. I've been a big fan of the new version ever since it was launched in beta. Use them both. Like them both.

The beta is label is still there -- at least in my case. Anyway, I am giving it a chance again -- for the 4th time in the last few months. I have tried it for 3 rounds, and every time I shifted back to the old version, cos I wasn't impressed at all. True, there are lots of fancy functionalities, but the core stuff are not robust -- most importantly, it was slower than the original Yahoo mail, in all sense. I am giving it a try again, hope it delivers this time. It is simply NOT TRUE that Yahoo mail has gone out of beta. The beta is label is still there — at least in my case.

Um, maybe it's just us folk over at Yahoo! UK & Ireland; but I managed to enable pop access to my Yahoo! account the other day for free. I dont like the new Yahoo!

Its lack of antivirus -I guess- causes it to prevent attaching .exe or .zip files (containing exe files) to emails. After all, new yahoo mail is designed for 1024x728 and above resolutions (it warns user about it while logging in). I think it may prevent a considerable percentage of users (including myself) from using it properly!
