Tip: To switch ... or not to switch
James:

Let's say you would like to run Y! Mail beta at home, and the classic at work. You may think you'd have to constantly switch from the classic to Y! Mail beta, then switch back again everyday before leaving home.

Not anymore.

When you are at work, change your mail URL from

http://... .mail.yahoo.com/dc/launch? ... 
(URL of Y! Mail beta)

to

http://... .mail.yahoo.com/ym/login?ymv=0

It will let you run Yahoo! Mail classic for the current session only. You can visit http://mail.yahoo.com at any time when you want to run Y! Mail beta again.

So instead of switching back and forth, you can just bookmark the "classic" url and use it at work from now on.

Tip: Drag your message tabs
James:

If you have a message opened in it's own tab, you don't have to go back to the message list to move it. Just click on the tab and drag the message into your folder.

Tip: Know your search keywords (at least where to find them)
James:

There are so many keywords to use for searching messages, it can be hard to remember them all. Never fear, you can view a comprehensive list of search keywords in an integrated pop-up. Just Ctrl+Click on the [Go] button of the message search box.

Tip: Ignore system requirements
James:

Have you ever tried accessing Y-Mail beta from a system you knew was compatible, only to be blocked?

I have.

The next time that happens to you, just go to

http://us.mg1.mail.yahoo.com/dc/launch?sysreg=ignore
(you may need to change "us.mg1" depending on your farm)

Y-Mail beta will throw caution to the wind and ignore the system requirements. Use this at your own risk.

Q: Why can't I chat with MSN contacts?
Ryan Kennedy:

The Messenger integration in Yahoo! Mail Beta doesn't support talking with MSN Messenger contacts at this time.
