For its 18th birthday, Yahoo decided to revamp its Mail app, giving it a new material design inspired look and more powerful features, such as the capability to add other email accounts, and allowing the user to sign-in without a password thanks to the new Yahoo Account Key functionality.
Yahoo claims that the app is faster and more responsive thanks to new technology that powers the app. As you can see in the video below, the app seems to be snappier and more responsive, and transitions seem to be running very smoothly.
The search feature has also been streamlined and designed to make the process of finding emails with keywords easier and faster thanks to smart suggestions, and the option of filtering email that you’ve sent or received.
The process of composing emails has been streamlined as well, and it is now easier to attach documents or files thanks to a new “+” button. One unique new feature is what Yahoo calls “me” mails, or email that you send to yourself as a reminder or note. All you have to do is long-press the compose button and the app will send that email to yourself automatically.
Yahoo has taken into account people that use multiple email services, and so has introduced a new multiple mailbox management feature. This allows users to switch between Outlook.com, Hotmail and AOL Mail within the Yahoo app, without having to sign-in and out every time.
Finally, to make the app easier to access without compromising security, the new Yahoo Mail app introduces Yahoo Account Key. This works by sending you a push notification every time you log in to confirm that you are actually the person trying to log in. This removes the hassle of inputting complicating password every time you wish to log in from your computer or mobile device.
