Yahoo Mail

Category: Communications

Yahoo Mail is Yahoo's free, Web-based e-mail service. The newest release feels a lot like a desktop e-mail application: there's a preview pane, and messages can be dragged and dropped between folders. Right-clicking the mouse does mail-specific things instead of performing browser actions. And there's no longer any concept of paging through your in-box. You can see all of your messages, no matter how many there are, in one big, scrolling list.

Yahoo Mail Beta also has an RSS reader built into it. It prepopulates your feeds from your My Yahoo page, and gives you an alternate way to view your feeds.
