Yahoo on Tuesday unveiled an updated, HTML5-optimized version of Yahoo Mail for the iPad, promising a faster, more organized, and feature-rich experience.
“If you’ve used our recently launched HTML5 mobile Web mail for iPhone you’ll feel right at home,” Lee Parry, product manager for Yahoo Mail, wrote in a blog post. “We’ve kept all the things users love about our new mobile Web mail experience, while also optimizing for the gorgeous large screen of the iPad.”
If you don’t have an Internet connection, Yahoo Mail on the iPad will use local caching capabilities to allow users to access and search their mail. You can search using full search, personal folders, or a smart folder of most important contacts.
Photo attachments will also be viewable in their full form or as inbox previews, Yahoo said, and the inbox itself has a dual-pane view.
The revamped Yahoo Mail “will be available globally to anyone who has an iPad,” Parry said. Access it via Safari on the iPad at http://mail.yahoo.com.
