Yahoo! Mail Blog, UK and Ireland

Coming to Yahoo! Mail for the first time? Multiple email accounts dragging you down? Too many contacts in too many places? Have no fear, Trueswitch is here!

We want to make it easy to take all of your contacts and transfer them directly into your Yahoo! Contacts list. And it’s not just limited to your contacts, either. You can choose to transfer calendar items and emails from other email accounts. And did I mention it’s easy?!

Don’t believe me, then just take a look at this video (click here for a full screen version)…

Told you so. Check it out for yourself

For all of you that can’t stop whistling that tune from the video… that’s “Maybe Tomorrow” by Terry Bush the theme song from the TV series “The Littlest Hobo“

Managing your contact addresses couldn’t be easier in Yahoo! Mail Beta. But the one thing that might be a little confusing is that we no longer call it the Address book. All of your saved email addresses and contact information are conveniently located in the left column of the Mailbox window in the item called “Contacts”.

The thing to remember is that now you can manage your whole contact list (formerly known as the Address book) right from the comfort of your Yahoo! Mail Beta window. Adding, deleting, creating contact lists, editing lists and emailing contacts can all be done with a click of a mouse button.

Quick tip of the week
And now for your favorite feature… Andrew’s quick tip. Did you know that, if you right click on a name in your inbox, there is a menu option on the shortcut menu that appears (it’s down towards the bottom) labeled “Add Sender to Contacts”. If you click that menu item you can add that name and contact information right to your contact list. How’s that for easy.

Happy emailing!!
