Comment Yahoo mail beta not an improvement (Score 1) 262

I tried it out for a while about a month ago. My first experience with it was that it was slow and clunky but I forced myself to use it for a while with the hope that it would grow on me. One thing I noticed is that when I connected to it from a mobile device, it all fell apart and forced me to go back to the pre-beta yahoo web client. I have to wonder what happens if/when the beta becomes the only option. Gmail, in contrast, detects and works nicely with mobile (handheld) devices. All in all, it was really the culmination of a lot of little things that changed that I didn't like combined with the terrible slowness that caused me to finally give up on it and switch back to the pre-beta version. I use yahoo mail A LOT, but I've been playing with gmail some lately and though it seemed a little weird at first, it's starting to make sense to me and I'm starting to like it better. I've thought of switching over completely but am heavily invested in yahoo mail. If yahoo makes what's in beta now the only option, then it'll certainly encourage me to go ahead and switch. I'd much rather see yahoo go with a simpler, lightweight, faster webmail client than this horribly slow new piece of bloatware they came up with.
