The New Yahoo! Mail App

Along with email, the new app provides info about news, weather, and other things with just one tap on the screen.

Yahoo! has launched a new Yahoo! Mail app for both iOS and Android users in India so that all the information that's most important to consumers is easily available to them along with email.

The app, that has information such as news, weather and more, is designed with a focus on simplicity: with the familiar Yahoo! Mail experience and a one-tap access to personalized, real-time information.

When people first open the Yahoo! Mail app, they will see their Yahoo! Mail inbox along with a new panel with icons for Mail, News and Today on the screen. It will have all news, information, and communications in one integrated experience.

The new Yahoo! Mail on Android comes with a couple of unique features. Simply swipe left or right or tap the relevant icon in the upper right-hand corner of the screen to seamlessly move between inbox, news stream, and Today.

Yahoo! is also introducing a new experience when people search for people in their inbox. When they start typing a name, Yahoo! Mail offers smart search suggestions -- including both people and messages - to help narrow down the search. The app filters search results by messages, files or photos, and users can scroll through them to find what they are looking for.

A quick tap on the News icon shows what's happening - from latest political developments to business and economy to celebrity gossip. In the Today icon there is information from local weather to a news digest and images from Flickr.
