Update: Yahoo has released a bit more info on what makes its new mail experience such an improvement.

Yahoo isn't ceding its place in the webmail market without a fight Mayer closed her post by saying "this is just the beginning," so hopefully we'll see Yahoo focus on more mail improvements in the coming months. While Yahoo might not get any points for originality, a streamlined and unified solution across multiple platforms should make for a better user experience. For example, the Yahoo mail app uses the now-standard list of folders hiding in a pane on the left side of the screen, much like Sparrow, Gmail, Facebook, and numerous other apps.

The new mail experience should roll out for web users "over the next few days," while the iOS, Android and Windows 8 apps are available now.Īt first glance, the new iOS app (which is optimized for iPhone and iPod touch only iPad users are out of luck) shares a lot in common with the recently-updated Gmail iOS app as well as many other smartphone mail apps. Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer introduced the changes herself in a blog post that went out today she says that Yahoo's new mail client minimized distracting elements and made speed a key focus, something that should be a major improvement over the somewhat bloated service of old. Yahoo may not be the internet giant it once was, but over 110 million people still use its mail services - now, that experience has been upgraded with a new Yahoo Mail web client as well as new apps for iOS, Android and Windows 8.
