Yahoo launched the new beta version on Wednesday in partnership with AT&T . Among other features, the service offers users drag-and-drop e-mail organization and an integrated Really Simple Syndication (RSS) reader that provides easy access to breaking news, blog entries, and other feeds directly through the e-mail interface. The upgraded service is currently available only for AT&T Yahoo broadband and dial-up subscribers. Bells and Whistles The beta marks the most significant upgrade in Yahoo's mail interface in five years. As with previous incarnations of Yahoo Mail, the new version is browser-based and universally accessible from any Internet-connected computer. With tabbed navigation, the new interface is designed to make viewing multiple e-mails at the same time a snap. Comprehensive search of e-mail headers, bodies, and attachments should make finding stored e-mail easier. The service also provides the option of using keyboard shortcuts and right-click menus.
