One of the interesting features introduced in the new Internet Explore 8 is the web slices. Web slices allows you to keep update on your email, stocks or weather reports right from the Favorite Bar.
Yahoo Mail via the IE8 optimized for Yahoo has built the Yahoo Mail web slices functionality within the web browser itself. With Yahoo Mail web slices, any new emails coming into the mailbox can be viewed with a single click on the Yahoo Slices icon, without even leaving the page you’re currently in. List of emails will be displayed on top of that page. However to read the whole email, you’ll still need to go to the Yahoo Mail page.
Besides Yahoo Mail web slices, there are other web slices available on web slices gallery that you can try out. But even that, the number of websites implementing web slices is still small, but it might grow bigger, once the true potential of web slices are discovered in future, hopefully.

I still remember Yahoo Mail (and other Yahoo services), being among the first websitse I discovered (what else great website at that time, right?) about 8-10 years ago on one small cyber cafe . I’m quite proud with my email account when most my peers don’t even heard of Yahoo back then. Of course it is totally different story now when 4-5 years kids has been exposed to the internet by their parent.
I never thought Yahoo Mail is that old. They have been around for a quarter century now. Where Yahoo Mail stand now? It got new looks (Yahoo Mail Classic is the old version) and started integrating 3rd party applications in it. Even YM is available inside it now.
But the future doesn’t looks very much in favor to Yahoo Mail, at least at the moment. Ok, let’s not spoil Yahoo Mail birthday post today. So to Yahoo Mail, keep up the good work!
Don’t throws away the old stuff, it still valuable sometime. That’s happen to Yahoo Mail when, Yahoo unexpectedly bring Yahoo Messenger to the Yahoo Mail Classic or old Yahoo Mail.
A move that surely bring cheers to Yahoo Mail old timer user, who still prefer using old Yahoo Mail as opposed to the new Ajax-based style Yahoo Mail.
But, it will only available on the next couple of months. So at the meantime, stick to your desktop based Yahoo Messenger or use Meeobo.
Sadly though, the annoucement post is spammed by unwanted and hated comments. Where is the mod?
After about a month in beta, it seems like Yahoo Mail open applications is now available to everyone. See that this morning on my, and my wife yahoo account. Previously, only users who have registered for beta tester are able to test it, but only from the beta URL.
Additionally, there are also few more applications has been added into the application gallery such as ‘Family Journal’.
When it run on Google Chrome, the new Yahoo Mail also requesting permission to allow it accessing Google Gears (it never asking anything before). Does that means the Yahoo Mail open application now using Google Gears to improve its perfomance??
Erm, no announcement on the Yahoo Mail blog..
