This is about the recent move to BETA versions of leading & pioneer email providers - YAHOO & HOTMAIL....
With the inception of Windows Live Mail, Hotmail moved towards the making the interface look and feel much like MS Outlook 2K3. With facilities like reading pane, select & delete emails with DEL key, yada yada yada.
This the same thing aped by Yahoo Mail BETA [which I just tried]... Looks like they are facing stiff competition from GMAIL, and competing with GMAIL, the only forte for HOTMAIL & YAHOO will be look & feel. Well, I will not state GMAIL is not user friendly, but with its simplicity it is more than necessary for the average, crazy and frequent email checkers like me....
However, at times I wanted this overwhelming look & feel of Windows Live Mail BETA [which I used to get from Cognizant Web Mail thingy], just to break the cycle. One thing that both Windows Live Mail & Yahoo Mail have in common other than "Outlook 2K3 look & feel" is that, if you choose to opt out of their BETA email thingys, you gotta wait in the queue to get back to try their BETA email thingys... Also that u need the latest firefox if you wanna use 'em from Firefox....
