The Troubles With the Yahool Mail Beta 239

Posted by CmdrTaco on Sunday October 01, 2006 @09:39AM from the competition-means-we-win dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Yahoo Mail recently launched their new webmail service, dubbed Beta (yes just like gmail) no doubt hoping to win back market share in the world of webmail. Their prime competition is gmail, which they've modeled some of the new features on, but Yahoo Mail Beta falls very short of offering a similar experience. The ad infested new Yahoo Mail is patchwork of ideas halfway implemented and glaring usability problems."

Well that's for a couple of reasons:

1. GMail has 2769MB currently (and counting)

2. It's really a new service by "Yahool Mail Beta" and not "Yahoo! Mail Beta". Yahool is a Trademark of Google Inc. and is not to be confused with Yahoo! in any way!

Hmmm. If Yahoo mail beta is faster than MSN, I really don't want to know just how slow MSN mail is.
