Yahoo Email Beta

It's awesome!! I thought Gmail was impressive (even though they don't allow feeds from other email accounts), but Yahoo's new email browser client is great. You can use keyboard commands to delete, compose, and reply to emails. CTRL-clicking is now allowed so I can delete or move emails to a folder in groups without having to click a bunch of checkboxes.

The interface is now more like Thunderbird and Outlook, so it's now comparable (and nearly as fast) as desktop email clients. There are also similar message views, with an additional benefit of tabs. Meaning, you can toggle between messages being composed, replied to, and between your inbox, and folder views because they appear as tabs that don't require page refreshes to switch to.

Check out the help utility. Hats off to the developers. Yahoo isn't taking second fiddle to anyone.
