Yahoo's new email reader is now in public beta [previous review]. It doesn't take very much time with it to come to a simple conclusion: It is a fantastic email application. I found using it nearly indistinguishable from working with a dedicated email application. There's a preview pane. Messages can be dragged and dropped between folders. Right-clicking the mouse does mail-specific things instead of performing browser actions. And there's no longer any concept of paging through your inbox: You can see all your messages, no matter how many there are, in one big scrolling list. The interface is a bit slower than running an email app on a PC, but not much.

Yahoo Mail Beta also has an RSS reader built into it. It pre-populates your feeds from your My Yahoo page (which is likely both the world's most used and most under-appreciated RSS reader) and gives you an alternate way to view your feeds. Some people like reading RSS feeds in email and some don't; with My Yahoo and Yahoo Mail Beta you can easily go back and forth. (continued)

I just had a look it it - not bad at all. Though I'll probably stick to my Gmail (but I do use Yahoo for some things such as Yahoo Groups & other subscriptions).
