Get into Yahoo! Mail Beta with couple clicks

Nowadays, every free e-mail provider is trying to redesign their site to offer the functionality look like a desktop e-mail application like Outlook. After Live.com and Yahoo Mail, Rediff.com has followed the same way and is now offering the same functionality.

What’s new in Yahoo Mail Beta:
• Drag and drop messages into folders for easy organizing.
• Search for messages containing any word or phrase you want to find with the new super-fast and comprehensive search tool.
• Open multiple messages in tabs so you can multitask.
• Read and manage your messages more easily with the new Reading Pane.
• Type the first letter or two of a friend's email address and Yahoo! Mail finishes it for you with Address AutoComplete.
• Work quicker with the new, speedier interface (DHTML for the techies).
• Use keyboard shortcuts like Ctrl-s to save a message.
• Navigate from message to message with the arrow keys.

Yahoo! Mail Beta is offered as an invitation and users have to get invited through Yahoo! Mail Beta signup form. Google Operating System, a blog, shows you how to get into the Yahoo! Beta without invitation. Just by changing content preference to UK in your mail options, you can get into the Beta version.

To do this:
>log in to Yahoo! Mail
>Click “Options” (Right side upper corner)
>Select “Account Information” from the left panel
>Go to Member Information>General Preferences>Preferred Content
>Select “Yahoo United Kingdom” (I came to know that by changing it to Australia also, you can get into Beta)
>Click “Finished”
>Go to Yahoo! Mail
> You will be prompted to sign up for the new Beta
> Click on "Try Beta Now" and you have done

If you don’t want to keep the content preference changed, just repeat the above and change you preferences to your county. It won’t leave you out off Beta.

Give it a try !!!
