Direct from Yahoo! themselves…
Q) How can you tell if you are out of Beta?
A) If you are still unsure about whether or not you are actually out of beta, just take a look at the Yahoo! Mail logo in the upper left corner of the browser window. If the ‘BETA’ is gone, you have already been migrated over.
Q) If I’m still in Beta, when will I be switched?
A) We are in the process of rolling it out to everyone, but because of number of users it could be anywhere from this week, to as long as six weeks. We’re trying to get it done as quickly as possible, but there are a lot of servers so please be patient.

I was one of the people who submitted the request when the new My Yahoo! came out for more column options. Now they are here! Woooo!
Layout Options
You asked for more flexible layout options, so now you have six to choose from. We kept the 2, 3 and 4 column options, but added narrow and wide columns. And thanks for your informative (and abundant) feedback on this feature. Keep it coming!
To see the new options: Personalize This Page > Appearance: Change Layout
Improved: movies and layout options.
I use Yahoo’s AddressGuard for every single web site/social network/beta test I sign up for, because you never know… Here are my 3 easy steps to creating one through Yahoo! (note this is a Yahoo! Mail Plus feature):
- From the Yahoo! Toolbar, I go to “Mail” –> Add Disposable Address
- Enter the name of the web site after my “basename” (see below*)
- Copy the new Disposable E-mail and paste it on the site’s signup e-mail address form
*All the disposable addresses that you create in AddressGuard use the same simple pattern: yourbasename-keyword@yahoo.com

Compared to Top 20 Temporary and Disposable Email Services, Yahoo’s Address Guard is best and allows to have it already built into your e-mail and toolbar.
Yahoo! Mail Plus is only $20 per year and to me, it was worth it just so I didn’t have any ads to deal with. However, there are several perks, which I’ll copy and paste below:
My favorite feature that I use everyday is the AddressGuard / Disposable Addresses… Which I will talk about in my next post.
Well, as far as I can remember, aside from AOL, Yahoo! was the first web site that was “FULL” of content, utilities and options. Yahoo! basically was the only competitor to AOL in the earlier years of the web, the 14.4 kbs years, 28.8 kbs was just coming out and way to expensive.

Anyhoo, I’ve been into Yahoo! since and I have lots of good things to say and a few negatives. So, let’s Shout for Yahoo!
Saw this article from DownloadSquad.com about the Top 11 Yahoo Mail Tips and Tricks… I love my Yahoo! Mail, obviously some things can be improved, but actually, now that I read the article, I kind of knew all of that already and/or really won’t remember the tips or tricks… or will I?
Woooo! Not like I’m using anywhere near the original 2 GB of space that was originally allocated, but I got upgraded today to the Unlimited File Storage from Yahoo! Mail!
