YAHOO MAIL - New Mobile Web Experience
The Best Mail In your Browser
In order to deliver a
beautiful, high-quality Yahoo Mail experience no matter where you are in the
world, it was critical for our team to make the mobile browser experience
extremely fast and lightweight, while significantly improving current features.
The difference between the old and new is striking.
The new, enhanced mobile browser experience shares many of
the same features as the top-rated Yahoo Mail app with the added benefit of
freeing up space, including:
· Swipe
Through Your Inbox: The ability to take actions on emails
quickly and easily by swiping right to mark as readand
left to delete.
· Customize
Your Look And Feel: New color themes with light and dark
backgrounds that allow you to personalize your inbox.
· Get Organized
Easily With Folders: Beautiful sidebar menu with folders for
easy organization.
· Never
Hunt For An Email Address: Auto-suggest your most frequent email
addresses when you type the first few letters, so sending an email is faster
than ever.
· Infinite
Scrolling Inbox: Scroll all the way down your inbox
without having to hit “next” to see more emails.
· Take Quick
Action On Emails: Easily delete, forward, reply and do
more from the easy access toolbar once you open a message.
For convenience, you can add an icon to your home screen
that links directly to the Yahoo Mail mobile browser experience. By introducing
smooth transitions, an updated design, modern fonts, and native-like
interaction animations, Yahoo Mail mobile browser takes what users love about
our app experience and brings it to the web. If you’re already familiar with
the app, using Yahoo Mail in your mobile browser will feel virtually
indistinguishable, letting you jump right in without missing a beat.
In addition to the dramatic feature and design updates,
what’s changed for Yahoo Mail on mobile browser behind the scenes is equally as
notable. The architecture supporting the new browser experience is the same as
our modern desktop tech stack,which
is developed on React and Redux. Further..
· The
enhanced version is written in JavaScript and built using Node.js. The basic
version of Yahoo mobile web is written in PHP and built using Apache.
· The
enhanced version uses AJAX
· In
the enhanced version, there are no reloads – all actions (e.g., deleting,
marking as read, and marking as spam, emptying trash) are instant. The basic
version reloads the page on every interaction.
· The
enhanced version is a fully interactive app-like experience. The basic version
has limited interactivity.
As we look ahead toward future improvements (we’re always
looking for new ways to give you what you want), whenever you launch Yahoo
mobile web, your inbox will automatically access the most current code base.
You’ll always have the latest and greatest experience, so no need to worry
about missing out!
Yahoo Mail Go for Android Go: Same Yahoo Mail Speed and
Reliability, but Lighter on your Data
Our new mobile browser experience is just one part of how
we’re delivering Yahoo Mail for everyone. Today we are also announcing Yahoo
Mail optimized for the new Android Go devices (entry-level smartphones).
The Yahoo Mail Go app delivers the same stunning features
enjoyed by our current Android app users, while keeping the RAM usage on
devices below 50MB and the install size below 10MB. In fact, the original Yahoo
Mail app is already extremely lightweight, so we didn’t have to remove major
features to reduce the standard Yahoo Mail app size for Go. And we did not
compromise on performance – the Go app uses the exact same architecture as the
standard Yahoo Mail app.
If you have a phone with the Android Oreo (Go edition)
operating system and would like to download Yahoo Mail Go, follow this link:
