Yahoo has announced the opportunity to experience the Yahoo mail app, without having to switch to a brand new email address. Users can now use the app with their Gmail, Outlook or AOL email address. These features will help make reading, organizing and sending emails easier.
To access the new feature, tap your email provider from the welcome screen, use your Gmail, Outlook or AOL email address to create a Yahoo account, and give Yahoo permission to sync your email messages in the Mail app. Start enjoying an organized inbox experience immediately.
The new features on the Yahoo Mail app include:
- Relevant search results: Now, when users search their email using a keyword, the app highlights the most relevant messages.
- Users will get notified only when they receive a new email from a person, not companies or newsletters.
- Customizable swipes: Choose which action appears when you swipe left or right on a message, including delete, archive, move and more.
- Contacts: Yahoo Mail displays editable contact cards, powered by Xobni, that detect all the email addresses and phone numbers associated with that person. Yahoo also pull photos from Twitter, LinkedIn and Facebook.
- Users can make their inbox more personalized with custom themes and notes more modern with stationery from Paperless Post.
- Users can enable Account Key for secure, password-free sign in.
- If users already have a Yahoo email account, they can easily connect and manage email accounts from Gmail, Outlook.com, Hotmail and AOL.
The new Yahoo Mail app is available in the App Store (iOS 4.15) and Google Play (Android 5.15). Check it out and let us know what you think — just go to Settings and tap “Send Feedback.”
