Yahoo Mail Adds SMS Feature
Yahoo Mail has a new version and it looks great. The biggest addition is the ability to send text messages to mobile phones. This feature makes Yahoo the first free web-based email service to offer sms functions.
When you send a text message, it will appear as a talk bubble next to your avatar in the mail window. The person who got your message can reply through text. This feature should be immensely popular as it provides a convenient way of communication all from one place.
The sms feature will be available to users from the United States, Canada, India and the Philippines.
Other features include the ability to send instant messages to users of Windows Live Messenger, and six colors to customize the interface.
The new interface has now added tabbed browsing. Clicking on your contact list or compose will open a new tab.
Users have the option of switching back to the old version if they prefer the classic look.

Actually the “new version” isn’t all that new - I’ve been using it for about six months. The messaging system that they’ve also introduced as new has been going for a couple months as well. I absolutely love Yahoo Mail. I find it very handy how you can drag and drop messages into folders, communicate inside the mail, etc. Yahoo is honestly my favorite free email provider, even more than Gmail, etc.

That’s what’s sorely missing in Gmail, folders. That’s my biggest gripe

@Madhur:
That’s true buddy. Having no message limit would definitely be a great boost for Yahoo.

@Nirmal:
I think you’re right buddy. What I’m really hoping for, is for Gmail to add folders. It’s not too much to ask right?
