How to upgrade to new Yahoo ! Mail Beta

with 24 comments

Some one told me a way on how to upgrade current Yahoo! Mail account to the new Ajax based interface. Here are the steps :

  • Log in to Yahoo Mail
  • Click Options
  • select Account information from the left panel
  • go to Member Information, General Preferences, Preferred Content
  • select, for example, Yahoo UK
  • click Finished
  • go to Yahoo Mail
  • you’ll see a page that says “It’s the New Yahoo! Mail Beta… and you’re invited.
  • click on “Try Beta Now”.

Note that these steps worked for me, but I am not sure if these will work for you also.

  2. […] I have had a yahoo email account for as long as I can remember. I think it was around 95 or so when I first got my account. I got it because our college email system would not work outside of the classroom. So I figured a web based email would be best, and I think yahoo was the first that I found. When I read this article on how you could checkout the beta of yahoo mail I had to give it a try (Link here). […]

  8. i too never had to change any options, i found a message while logging into yahoo mail one day and i accepted to try beta……..though i didn’t like it much and got back to my old version a month laters. i believe the beta thing is bit slow and not very convinient and i still like my gmail more

  15. So what am I doing wrong? I can get past the first 4 steps but when I get to “member information” and select “change language and content settings” I’m only given US options (english, spanish or chinese). I even tried changing the time zone stting to Greenwich first but I still got the same options.

    Any ideas?

  16. Dollfan, I think you should move try to access this page from some other ISP or via any proxy, i think that if you are in the US, Yahoo! might not show you these pages.
