Yahoo says that the new initiatives are taken to meet the specific needs of today's massive wave of new mobile users. The veteran wants to deliver the same first-class Yahoo Mail experience regardless of device, location, storage capacity, or network speeds.

 

To deliver a high-quality Yahoo Mail experience on mobile devices, the team at Yahoo has worked to develop a seamless and lightweight mobile browser experience. Yahoo says that the difference between the old and new mail client is striking. The new, enhanced mobile browser experience shares many of the same features as the top-rated Yahoo Mail app with the added benefit of freeing up space, including:

To simply put, Yahoo Mail mobile browser is revamped to bring Yahoo's app experience to the web. The team at Yahoo has worked to introduce smooth transitions, an updated design, modern fonts, and native-like interaction animations. If you are familiar with Yahoo app, using Yahoo Mail in your mobile browser will feel virtually indistinguishable. Users can also add an icon to their home screen that links directly to the Yahoo Mail mobile browser experience.

Yahoo also mentioned that the architecture supporting the new browser experience is the same as our modern desktop tech stack, which is developed on React and Redux. The enhanced version is written in JavaScript and built using Node.js. The basic version of Yahoo mobile web is written in PHP and built using Apache.

Interestingly, there are no reloads in the new version - all actions (e.g., deleting, marking as read, and marking as spam, emptying trash) are instant. The basic version reloads the page on every interaction. And as mentioned, the enhanced version is a fully interactive app-like experience. The basic version has limited interactivity.

Besides, Yahoo has also unveiled the Mail Go application for Android Go devices. Yahoo says that the new app is designed to deliver same Yahoo Mail Speed and Reliability, but consumes less data.

As per Yahoo, the Yahoo Mail Go app delivers the same features that users experience with the current Android app while keeping the RAM usage on devices below 50MB and the install size below 10MB. The Go app uses the exact same architecture as the standard Yahoo Mail app.

Yahoo Mail Go app can be downloaded at free of cost.
