Yahoo! Mail Blog, UK and Ireland

To celebrate unlimited storage here in the Yahoo! offices we brought in some big (and I mean big) food stuffs. Who doesn’t like a cheese wedge that’s almost 5 feet tall? I’ve snapped some pics and uploaded to Flickr – our favorite photo sharing site. You can see all the pictures here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/ymail_uk_team/.

Free, unlimited storage means that Yahoo! Mail is the only email address that grows with you and lasts a lifetime. So now there’s no longer any excuse for letting your photos, files and other digital media collect dust in a cardboard box at the back of a cupboard somewhere.

Yep – and that’s me next to the giant sundae. And boy was that one whopper of a brain freeze.

Happy emailing!!

It’s always nice to catch a glimpse of someone using Yahoo! Mail when I least expect it. This past weekend I was walking around terminal 3 at Heathrow airport, waiting (somewhat) patiently for my delayed flight and I happened to see someone checking their Yahoo! Mail from one of the Wi-fi hot-spots.

Now I know that the airport is not such a terribly unusual place to be checking email, but that got me to thinking all the places I’ve checked my Yahoo! Mail over the years. I’ve been in a couple of New York City parks with public wi-fi hotspots (I particularly like Bryant Park). One of my favourite places was a beach bungalow place on Ko Pha-Ngan an island in the south of Thailand.

I’d like to hear some fun/unusual places that you’ve checked your Yahoo! Mail. Leave a comment and let us all know.

Happy emailing.

It’s that time of year again… time for everyone to get together with family and friends to eat, drink and be merry. And as much as we love our jobs, we’re going to take a break from the blog until the New Year to do the same as you. But rest assured, we’re going to come back to work refreshed, rejuvenated, revitalized and probably just a little bit heavier from all the holiday festivities.

It’s been an amazing year for the Yahoo! Mail Beta Team. We’ve put our heart and soul into bringing you the launch of Yahoo! Mail Beta and had a lot of fun along the way. The fantastic new mail interface lets you drag and drop mail items, gives you a preview pane and offers up tabbed messaging, to name just a few features available.

Now, I’m not usually one to make New Year’s resolutions, but I will make this one: to work tirelessly to continue to bring you the best Mail product ever! (Oh, and maybe go on a diet too.) So, watch this space in the New Year to see what’s coming next.

We also want to take this opportunity to wish everyone a very happy holiday season, and a very happy New Year.
