The next time you compose keep your eyes peeled for a little “present” from the Mail Beta team. Every once in a while, when you are composing an email you might see an ad that looks a little like this:

If you click and drag that Liam from the ad over to the email you’re composing it will add that Liam to your message.

There are three Liam’s to collect and share with your friends at the moment. There’s the boxer Liam pictured above and two others you’ll have to find on your own. So send a load of emails and see if you can find them all.

Happy Emailing

For my second installment for “the what’s new with Yahoo! Mail Beta”, I wanted to highlight the new ability to expand the viewable reading area in your mailbox.

More space to read
If you look about half-way down the ad on the right-hand side of your Yahoo! Mail Beta mailbox, you will see a small triangle (some might call it an arrow). If you click that triangle, cum arrow, you’ll be able to get more reading space. Here’s a picture:

It won’t hide the ad forever; you’ll have to sign up for Yahoo! Mail Plus for that. But you do get the option for a bigger reading area when you need it.

Here something you might get a kick out of. And if you’ve got a minute or two to waste during the day, why not try this. Open up a new mail message in the new Yahoo! Mail Beta. Next to the subject field there’s the “Subject” button. Click it and see what happens. Click it again, and then again and again and again etc.

My favorite so far:
