It doesn't support session SSL connections so, no matter how great the interface is, it's no good for me.
(By the way I do think the interface is the best, although a bit slow). |

For me the new beta is very slow, virtually unusable.

I'v been on it for a while now. It is ok (Yes, I'm an "ok" vote).
No IMAP still, so kinda worthless for me, except for services that it does good to have a yahoo account (IM). Also, don't you get a KICK at how Yahoo and MS never show the HUGE ads they include in the webmail? They know that would turn people off if they advertised it with a huge banner going down the side.... |

As someone who was transferred to yahoo mail beta as a former Oddpost subscriber, it has proven to be a great disappointment to me.
About the only thing I like is Drag and Drop. Without IMAP I find it hard to give it serious consideration. |

Have they added Opera support? I hate having two or three browsers open just to get everything done.

I'm just waiting for it to be widely offered to Yahoo Business Email accounts, and to co-branded ISP DSL mail accounts (ex. AT&T Yahoo DSL).
That and IMAP support |

I have not tried it in the last few weeks, but I did use it for a month or so. One complaint I had, which I did not see mentioned, was that there was no column for Size. This is something I expect to see, and that I need to sort on at times.

for hotmail beta, I also switched back due to beta adding "tag" to my out going email. About few years back, I complained about something but some how they mistaken my account as paid and since then tag on the mail is gone from my hotmail account except when I switch to beta which I don't use. |
