The All-New Yahoo! Mail

The New Yahoo! Mail is a powerful interface (Full Ajax), very close to a Heavy mail client like Outlook (Drag and drop capabilities, Mail search, tabs...). Yahoo! has integrated Messenger, so the users chat with Yahoo! Messenger and Windows Live Messenger contacts.


As of August 26, 2007, the New Yahoo! Mail came out of Beta period. Development of what has now become the new interface started in July 2004, although it is possible other prototypes were in development before then. It is currently compatible with Internet Explorer 7 and Firefox as well as Camino (and other Gecko based browsers) (as part of Yahoo!'s plan to eventually upgrade all of their sites to be compatible with Firefox[3]). Although usable under Opera and Safari, there are slight visual problems regarding the layout. is the 238th day of the year (239th in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ...

In September 2005 Yahoo! began beta testing a significantly enhanced version of their e-mail service, based on Ajax scripting acquired from Oddpost, along with new philosophical approaches to email, including the Oddpost design philosophy (which Google made heavy use of in Gmail): AJAX redirects here. ... Oddpost is a pay-for webmail service that pioneered the use of JavaScript to mimic a desktop mail application, the first notable foray into using AJAX methodologies. ...


Given that the All-New Yahoo! Mail is based on Oddpost, it features the same underlying code base, including the implementation of this design concept to minimize the amount of data sent during an email session by creating a JavaScript UI engine on the client side and sending "Datapacks" instead of reloading the whole interface on every click like a traditional webmail service[1] (e.g. traditional Yahoo! Mail). This makes the service much faster than its counterparts.


However, unlike Oddpost, All-New Yahoo! Mail runs on a variety of OS's and browsers, and runs perfectly under Internet Explorer 7 and Firefox. On February 13th, 2008 Yahoo! announced on the Yahoo! Mail blog that it would begin supporting version 3 of the MacOS X default browser Safari, as well as the Mac versions of Firefox.

The look and feel of the new version is designed to mimic a desktop e-mail client, and it offers unlimited storage space, tabbed emails, RSS feeds, drag-and-drop capabilities, advanced keyboard shortcuts, advanced search, integration with Yahoo! Calendar and Messenger, Domain Keys, address auto-complete and more.

The All-New Yahoo! Mail also has a mascot called Liam, who is basically a little boy, who is shown in the "Help" panel as well as in the loading screen. Liam is "mail" spelled backward.


Introduction

Wide-scale beta release of the new version was introduced in late 2006,[2] and as of September 2006, active users who sign up get the new Yahoo! Mail Beta immediately.


In November 2006, the Mail Beta team announced plans of integrating Yahoo! Messenger functionality with the Mail Beta interface.[3] [4] This service was deployed in March, 2007. “Y!M” redirects here. ...


Reaction

Public and critical reaction to the new product has been positive,[4] although a number of users have encountered speed issues, which can render the client very difficult to use, especially on older hardware. Each update to the Beta has included significant speed improvements, and the Mail Beta team is still focused on improving speed issues. For example, the earlier versions of Mail Beta featured a loading screen everytime you access mail. However, with various updates Mail Beta now appears immediately (no loading screen).


Completion

On August 26, 2007 Yahoo! Mail left beta and now the two versions which exist are known as Yahoo! Mail (the default interface) and Yahoo! Mail Classic (an updated version of the current interface). The announcement was made on the Yahoo! Mail blog by John Kremer,Vice President, Yahoo!

Features

Starting in May 2007, Yahoo! started to roll out to its users an "unlimited" amount of email storage.[6]


Yahoo! Mail has the following features:


Free version

  • Unlimited Mail Storage.
  • 10 MB attachments (20MB for long-time users)
  • Protection against spam and viruses. (See: DomainKeys)
  • Advertising is displayed on the screen while working with the e-mail account.
  • POP3 support in some countries (but not in the US). However, SMTP support requires upgrade to a Plus account.
  • Accounts not logged into for four months get deactivated (The account can be retrieved but all stored data such as email is lost).
  • Early in 2006, Yahoo! Mail introduced aliases to its repertoire of features. Users could now add a (single) alias username containing a dot character for a pre-existing account.
  • The Chinese version of Yahoo! Mail offers 3.5 GB quota and 20 MB attachments. [5]
  • Some users get features added if they are long time users.

Users can get around the Web browser access restriction by using software that simulates a POP3 server to which the e-mail application connects. YPOPs! and FreePOPs are examples of free software applications that allow email clients access to webmail (including Yahoo! Mail) services through POP3.

Business

Yahoo! Business E-mail is a combination of all their e-mail services with 10 distinct accounts each with the same features of the plus version and personalized domain name and e-mail address. Accounts can be managed by an administrator. There is $25 set-up fee and $9.99 monthly fee to use this service. Unfortunately yahoo is apparently still working out how to allow their business mail clients to access their email accounts from certain mobile smart phones and pdas. According to yahoo's website, for now, you can access your Business Email only from a BlackBerry. Yahoo says it plans to make business email compatible with more devices in the future.

  • Unlimited Mail Storage
  • 10 E-mail quota.
  • Additionally, a user can pay $35 per year to have up to five custom e-mail addresses and a domain name.
  • Yahoo! mail underlines addresses and phone numbers in email and allows the user to add them to the address book.

The term domain name has multiple related meanings: A name that identifies a computer or computers on the internet. ...

History

The history of Yahoo! Mail began with JoJo Healy, Yahoo!'s resident investment banker since November 1996, who has dealt with every Yahoo! acquisition since it was created. "No one knows your business like your employees", he said. According to him, the main question was always to consider whether to "build, buy or rent." The answer really depended on the growth of competitors and the current position of the company. The main reason to buy things was to gain speed to market. Yahoo redirects here. ... An investment banker works for an investment bank. ...


The growth in the number of Internet users eventually boosted the e-mail technology, but also created a very competitive environment where the winner was the first company to launch a successful e-mail service and attract potential users. E-mail became one of the most important features of a Web company as it would mean regular visits from e-mail users to the website. Wikipedia does not yet have an article with this exact name. ...


When Hotmail and Mirabilis (the creator of the instant messenger ICQ) were looking to be bought, Yahoo! was the first company to which both made offers. Yahoo!, however, passed on both companies as they were too expensive for Yahoo! at that time. In the end, Microsoft ended up buying Hotmail for $400 million and AOL bought Mirabilis for $288 million. ICQ is an instant messaging computer program, owned by Time Warners AOL subsidiary. ... MSN Hotmail was a free web-based e-mail service, which is accessible via a web browser. ... USD redirects here. ... For other uses, see AOL (disambiguation). ... Mirabilis was the name of the Israeli company that produced ICQ, a popular instant messenger. ...


Later there was also to be another battle to acquire the online communications company Four11. Yahoo! made a deal with the company for co-branded white pages. Marvin Gavin, who worked at Four11 as director of international business development said, "We always had a bias about being acquired by Yahoo! They were more entrepreneurial than Microsoft. We had a great cultural fit – it made a lot of sense." The real point in acquiring Four11 was that in March 1997, the company had launched Rocketmail, a webmail system that could be offered to users. In the end, Yahoo! concluded a deal with Four11 for $96 million. Yahoo! announced the acquisition[7] on October 8, 1997, very close to the time that Yahoo! Mail was launched.[1] Yahoo! Mail resulted from an acquisition rather than internal platform development because, as Healy said, "Hotmail was growing at thousands and thousands users per week. We did an analysis. For us to build, it would have taken four to six months, and by then, so many users would have taken an e-mail account. The speed of the market was critical." Rocketmail was one of the first major free webmail services and was a product of Four11. ... is the 281st day of the year (282nd in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ... For the band, see 1997 (band). ...


The transition to Yahoo! Mail was not easy for many Rocketmail users at first. Yahoo! released various help pages to try and help these users.[8] Soon after, on March 21, 2002, Yahoo! cut free software client access and introduced the $29.99 per year Mail Forwarding Service.[9] Mary Osako, a Yahoo! Spokeswoman, told CNET, "For-pay services on Yahoo!, originally launched in February 1999, have experienced great acceptance from our base of active registered users, and we expect this adoption to continue to grow." is the 80th day of the year (81st in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ... Also see: 2002 (number). ...


During the summer of 2002, the Yahoo! network was gradually redesigned. On July 2, Yahoo.com was redesigned and it was announced that other services like Yahoo! Mail would enter the same process.[10] Along with this new design, new features were to be implemented, including new navigation tools, such as drop-down menus in DHTML and different category tabs, and a new user-customizable color scheme. is the 183rd day of the year (184th in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ... Dynamic HTML or DHTML designates a technique of creating interactive web sites by using a combination of the static markup language HTML, a client-side scripting language (such as JavaScript) and the style definition language Cascading Style Sheets. ...


In November of the same year, Yahoo! launched another paid service: Yahoo! Mail Plus.[11] Yahoo! Mail Plus offered a number of new features, including:

  • 25 megabytes of e-mail storage
  • 10 megabyte message size limit
  • Ability to send up to 10 attachments per e-mail
  • POP Access and Forwarding
  • Archiving of e-mail messages to a hard drive for offline access
  • Ability to send messages from Yahoo! Mail using other e-mail domains
  • 200 blocked addresses and 50 filters to help screen unsolicited e-mails
  • No promotional taglines in messages
  • No account expiration
"The launch of Yahoo! Mail Plus is part of Yahoo!'s strategic initiative to offer premium services that deliver innovative, reliable and relevant services to consumers", said Geoff Ralston, senior vice president, Yahoo! Network Services, and creator of the original Yahoo! Mail technology in 1997. "In just five years, Yahoo! Mail has grown from one million to tens of millions of users, illustrating how consumers have made e-mail an essential part of their daily lives. Through Yahoo! Mail Plus, Yahoo! continues to demonstrate leadership and innovation by offering consumers the industry's most complete and powerful e-mail solution."[11]

On April 1, 2004, Google announced a free webmail with 1 gigabyte of storage. Though Gmail, Google's e-mail service, offered a large amount of storage, its invitation-only accounts kept the other webmail services at the forefront. Most of the major webmail providers like Yahoo! Mail, Hotmail, and AOL followed Google's lead and increased their mailbox storage considerably. Yahoo! was the first provider to announce 100 MB of storage for basic accounts and 2 GB of storage for premium users.[12] Determined not to lose customers, Yahoo! Mail then countered Hotmail and Google by increasing the storage quota of its free email accounts to 1 GB, and eventually removing a storage limit altogether and allowing unlimited storage. is the 91st day of the year (92nd in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ...

For other uses, see Gmail (disambiguation). ...


On July 9, 2004, Yahoo! acquired Oddpost, a strong webmail offering that simulated a desktop email client like Microsoft Outlook. Oddpost had new innovative features such as drag-and-drop support, right-click menus, RSS feeds, and a preview pane, but it also had incredible speed, using e-mail caching to shorten response time, and many of these features were incorporated into an updated Yahoo! Mail service.[13] is the 190th day of the year (191st in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ... Year 2004 (MMIV) was a leap year starting on Thursday of the Gregorian calendar. ...

Spam policy

Like most free Webmail providers, Yahoo! Mail is often used by spammers to provide a "remove me" email address. More often than not, these addresses are used for the express purpose of verifying the recipient's address--thus opening the door for more spam. However, Yahoo! does not tolerate this practice. It terminates accounts connected with spam-related activities without warning, and spammers lose access to any other Yahoo! services connected with their ID.[7][8] A typical spam advertisement Spam by e-mail is one type of spamming that involves sending identical or nearly identical messages to thousands (or millions) of recipients. ...


Filters

In 2002, in order to prevent abuse, Yahoo! Mail had filters that changed certain words (that could trigger unwanted Javascript events) and word fragments into other words. "Mocha" was changed to "espresso", "expression" became "statement", and perhaps most damaging, "eval" (short for "evaluation") became "review". The widespread unintended effects of this can be seen by using search engines to find such nonsensical terms as "prreviewent"(prevalent), "reviewuation"(evaluation) and "medireview"(medieval). JavaScript is a scripting language most often used for client-side web development. ... A mocha, in beverage form. ... Espresso brewing, with a dark reddish-brown foam, called crema or schiuma. ... For other uses, see Nonsense (disambiguation). ... Medireview was an accidental neologism for medieval, coined in 2001 as the result of an issue with Yahoo!s email service. ...


When asked about these changes, Yahoo! explained that the changed words were common terms used in Web scripting, and were blacklisted to prevent hackers from sending damaging commands via the program's HTML function. ECMAScript is a scripting programming language, standardized by Ecma International in the ECMA-262 specification. ... This article is about computer hacking. ... HTML, an initialism of Hypertext Markup Language, is the predominant markup language for web pages. ...


As of Friday, June 8, 2007, the Yahoo! Mail filters no longer substitute certain words for others. Although the change may have occurred prior to this date, Yahoo! Mail now prepends an "_" (underscore) to certain suspicious words and word fragments. is the 159th day of the year (160th in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ... Year 2007 (MMVII) is the current year, a common year starting on Monday of the Gregorian calendar and the AD/CE era in the 21st century. ... The underscore _ is the character with ASCII value 95. ...


Sending a test email from a non-Yahoo! Mail account to a Yahoo! Mail account with the words "Mocha", "eval", "Javascript", and "expression" in a sentence resulted in the Yahoo! Mail filters prepending an "_" (underscore) to those words, resulting in "_Mocha", "_eval", "_Javascript" and "_expression".


This prepending removes the threat of the words acting as commands via the program's HTML function by rendering them as non-commands or unrecognizable commands.


As of June 9, 2006, only the terms "expression" and "javascript" were prepended with an underscore ("_"). is the 160th day of the year (161st in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ... Year 2006 (MMVI) was a common year starting on Sunday of the Gregorian calendar. ...


There is also offered a spam filter called SpamGuard and an ability to set up custom filters. One problem that can be encountered is that the spam filter is applied before any custom filters you create. This results in some emails which you may wish to have directed to your Inbox or some other folder to be sent to your Bulk folder instead. The only way to deal with this bug is to constantly monitor your Bulk folder, this most often affects email from unusual domains but this author has had email from a Yahoo email account being sent through a Yahoo Group mailing list get filtered to Bulk as well.


Mail certification

In February 2006, Yahoo! also announced their decision (along with AOL) to give some organizations the option to "certify" mail, by paying up to one cent for each outgoing message, allowing the mail in question to bypass Yahoo's and AOL's inbound spam filters.[9]


Greylisting

Incoming mail to Yahoo! addresses can be subjected to deferred delivery as part of Yahoo!'s incoming spam controls. This can delay delivery of mail sent to Yahoo! addresses without the sender or recipients being aware of it. The deferral is typically of short duration, but may extend to several hours. Yahoo! does not specifically document this policy in detail, although some information is available.[14][15] Greylisting (sometimes spelled graylisting in the United States) is a method of defending electronic mail users against e-mail spam. ... E-mail spam, also known as bulk e-mail or junk e-mail is a subset of spam that involves sending nearly identical messages to numerous recipients by e-mail. ...


Yahoo! Mail user name bans

On February 20, 2006, it was revealed that Yahoo! Mail was banning the word "Allah" in e-mail user names, both separate and as part of a user name such as linda.callahan.[16] Shortly after the news of the "Allah" ban became widespread in media, it was lifted on February 23, 2006. Along with this action, Yahoo! also made the following statement:[17] is the 51st day of the year in the Gregorian calendar. ... Year 2006 (MMVI) was a common year starting on Sunday of the Gregorian calendar. ... Allah is the Arabic language word for God. ... is the 54th day of the year in the Gregorian calendar. ... Year 2006 (MMVI) was a common year starting on Sunday of the Gregorian calendar. ...

We continuously evaluate abuse patterns in registration usernames to help prevent spam, fraud and other inappropriate behavior. A small number of people registered for IDs using specific terms with the sole purpose of promoting hate, and then used those IDs to post content that was harmful or threatening to others, thus violating Yahoo!'s Terms of Service.

'Allah' was one word being used for these purposes, with instances tied to defamatory language. We took steps to help protect our users by prohibiting use of the term in Yahoo! usernames. We recently re-evaluated the term 'Allah' and users can now register for IDs with this word because it is no longer a significant target for abuse. We regularly evaluate this type of activity and will continue to make adjustments to our registration process to help foster a positive customer experience.
