    "Great product, will be even greater soon..."

    by chaimdan on September 23, 2005

    Pros: Interface similar to Outlook, Very fast, Great mail options and management of external pop3 accounts

    Cons: It's still in beta mode, and many features which Oddpost had, they still haven't incorporated.

    Summary: Yahoo's technology was bought when they acquired Oddpost.com. I've been using Oddpost for about 2 years now and I am quite happy with it. Now that Yahoo has been upgraded I was invited to beta test it, and I must say I am quite happy with what I am seeing. I think they are doing a great job on the user interface to make it more appealing and easier to access that Oddpost used to be. I also like many of the new features they are incorporating into it.

    Since it's still in beta, there are some features missing, but I'm sure by the time they are finished testing and upgrading everything, it will be the #1 e-mail provider.

    I don't know if it's the amount of new users but the beta was slower than my traditional yahoo mail. However I agree that the interface is much nicer.

    One major concern I have is that in the past few days Yahoo's secure login isn't working. The concern is that you can click on the "Submits over SSL" it takes you to the "SSL" page but you can clearly see that it isn't a secure page. Very deceptive.
