Back when the new GUI was in beta - I decided to "switch back" so that I could use Yahoo! mail on my Playstation. But now that there's new features I cant seem to switch to the new one. Any ideas on why?
Owen V @ Aug 27th 2007 1:21PM
so now when I want to send a text message from yahoo mail I dont have to add the @tmomail.net or whichever suffix the carrier has for the person I'm email-texting. I say minor improvement.

maybe i'm just a dumbass, but this doesn't seem to be a universal rollout. i'm in the usa and i can't find this feature anywhere. i only have an option to compose and that option only gives me emails to compose. bah humbug.

Its being slowly rolled out over the next several weeks... http://ymailupdates.com/blog/archives/59#comments (see 3rd comment)

Thanks Jane, missed that. Glad someone here is paying attention and not just whining like the rest of us!

The only problem is that their current beta version of Web Mail doesn't work well with Yahoo Messenger. I constantly have Yahoo Instant Messenger falsly tell me I have unread emails when I know I just cleared out all of my messages.
molly @ Aug 28th 2007 4:42PM
I don't have this option either and I've looked everywhere. Mine just says "Check mail" and "compose" there is no drop down list. Is anyone else as confused as I am?

Boy I know I am! I was kinda excited about this - and have been trying to figure out if I have it on my existing Yahoo acct. (don't use the account all that much any more but don't want to lose it)
