As I am a big fan of convenience, I would like to share some tricks and tips that I commonly use on Yahoo! Mail. I am sure it will make your life way easier, and enhance your mail experience. In summary, they have a very desktop email kind of a look now...
- Shortcuts: The first thing first: Here is the list of all the shortcuts. I still could not find the shortcut for attaching files, but hopefully it will come soon... (or if you know that, please let me know)
- Sorting: (Its pretty obvious, but still) You can sort your mails in any folder by from, subject, date, size, attachment size, flagged status etc. This is pretty powerful, e.g., if you are trying to find a certain thing (but not sure as to use search), or read/see all the emails, from a particular person, then just click on any of the emails by that person, and then click on the "from" tab at the top. Emails will be sorted, and you will be at the right place too.
- Search: This is also a very desirable feature, if you know how to use it smartly. Look here for all the things that you wanted to know about search in Yahoo! Mail. E.g., now you can specify modifiers within your search terms, and it will search accordingly (e.g. subject:keyword, would search for keyword only in subject of emails). Also, there is a new tab on extreme right that comes with search results, with the help of which you can narrow down your results. Here is the general article about search...
In case you are wondering what would be an ultimate email client, google Mutt ...
p.s.: You can add events etc to your yahoo calendar automatically from within the emails. (plus don't forget to notice that your current calendar items are always shown at the bottom of page)...
