Yahoo!Mail out of Beta
It seems the Web 2.0 generation is growing up. After more than a year in public beta, and over two years in development, the new version of Yahoo!Mail has finally been let loose as a finished product. The change of the service from beta to release also brought a slightly different look with it.
When looking on the Yahoo! Mail Blog it is apparently a process that has been running for some days already, but given the amount of mail accounts they have to migrate (255 Million, yes, that’s 255 with six 0′s behind it), and the amount of different types of accounts, the system needs some time to process them all.
Moreover, Yahoo! Mail is celebrating it’s 10 years of existance. For a timeline, have a look at Yodel.
I must say I’m pretty satisfied with the entire mail/calendar/messenger experience. The only drawback is that there is absolutely no calendar sync possibility that I know of that works with non-Outlook solutions. There’s no Calendar API as of yet, so I guess development of that type of application or service won’t happen in the near future.
