YAHOOMAIL.CM

YahooMail.cm (mis-typing) is a Web-based e-mail (webmail) service from Yahoo!. It is the largest e-mail provider on the Internet, serving millions of users. Yahoo! Mail's major competitors include Hotmail, Gmail, AIM Mail.

Yahoo! Mail Beta, a significantly different and advanced version, is currently under heavy development and is set to replace the current version of Yahoo! Mail when it is complete. It is currently in public beta.

Development of what has now become Yahoo! Mail Beta started in July 2004, although it is possible other prototypes were in development before then. It is currently compatible with Internet Explorer 7 and Firefox (as part of Yahoo!'s plan to eventually upgrade all of their sites to be compatible with Firefox). Although usable under Opera, there are slight visual problems regarding the layout. What People Really Want

YAHOOMAIL.CM Features
In May 2007, Yahoo! started to give all users, both Beta and non-Beta testers, an unlimited amount of email storage. After this change, Yahoo! Mail will be the email provider that offers the most email storage.

Yahoo! Mail has the following features:

Free version: 1 GB quota. 10 MB attachments, plus protection against spam and viruses. (See: DomainKeys) Advertising is displayed on the screen while working with the e-mail account. In some countries, users with free accounts can also read mail from a POP3 server (but not in the US). However, if they want to send mail from a distant SMTP server, they must upgrade to a Plus account. Accounts not logged into for four months get deactivated (The account can be retrieved but all personal data is lost).

Every free Yahoo! account will be deleted after an inactivity of 4 months. Early in 2006, Yahoo! Mail introduced aliases to its repertoire of features. Users could now add a (single) alias username containing a dot character for a pre-existing account. The Chinese version of Yahoo! Mail offers 3.5 GB quota and 20 MB attachments.

Plus version: 2 GB quota. The Plus service offers POP3 access—meaning that the e-mail account can be accessed through e-mail clients (Mozilla Thunderbird, Outlook, Eudora, etc.) that work with the POP3 protocol. When working with the account over a Web browser, no advertisements from other companies are displayed - though there are commercial links to other services from within Yahoo!. This type of account has additional spam and virus protection. Yahoo! is charging $19.99 per year per user for Yahoo! Mail Plus. Users of Yahoo! affiliated Internet service providers, such as SBC, BT, and Rogers have all the features of the Plus version included as part of their accounts.

Business: 2GB, 10 E-mail quota. Yahoo! Business E-mail is a combination of all their e-mail services with 10 distinct accounts each with the same features of the plus version and personalized domain name and e-mail address. Accounts can be managed by an administrator. There is $25 set-up fee and $9.99 monthly fee to use this service.

Additionally, a user can pay $35 per year to have up to five custom e-mail addresses and a domain name.

Yahoo mail underlines addresses and phone numbers in email and allows the user to add them to the address book.

Users can get around the Web browser access restriction by using software that simulates a POP server to which the e-mail application connects. FreePOPs is an example of a free software application that allows email clients access to webmail (including Yahoo! Mail) services through POP3.
