Some years ago, Yahoo! Mail was one of the most popular free email services between users, a reign that was overshadowed by the arrival of Gmail that ended up relegating to the background while for many of these initial users, continues to be your main personal email address. More than two years have passed since the Yahoo! rediseñase its e-mail service with the idea of making it more attractive to users, and at this time, the habits of the users have evolved in search of simplicity and rapidity that failed to materialize in the last reset. With the "spirit of improvement" Marissa Mayer want to internalize in Yahoo, the new CEO of the company has been commissioned to announce corporate blog The new Yahoo! Mail, a redesign service that bets for simplicity in its interface and operation speed.


With the idea of becoming a real alternative to Gmail and Outlook.com (where Microsoft also has bet strong by evolve Hotmail), Yahoo! has decided to renew its electronic mail service betting strong on input from a broad spectrum of platforms: browser version (where the redesign will take place in the coming days), an application for Windows 8, iOS (for iPad app(, iPod and iPhone) and an application for Android devices. Yahoo! has redesigned all customers to fulfil two main specifications: simplicity in use (something welcomed by users, especially in mobile devices) and fast response of the application, i.e., the ability to perform operations (delete messages, archive them, move them, delete them, etc) without having to spend much time in them.

Casting an eye to images, for example that there are hung in the Windows Store, we can see how this new approach to Yahoo! seeks to offer a product much more solid and serious, something that Marissa Mayer knows very well coming from Google (with Gmail is coronado as an undisputed leader in this area). I liked the new approach in which the messages, as it could not be otherwise, they become the most important element of the service and they happen to be in the center of the interface, eliminating distractions which traditionally Yahoo! used to include in the service.

This facelift, with a special emphasis on majority platforms, is one of the first signs of the new strategy of Yahoo! and its focus on mobility as a pillar of the relaunch of the company and its services. Perhaps it may be a good time to resume our old Yahoo! accounts and give them a second chance as secondary accounts.
