What I find most irksome is that I am FURTHER away from seeing my inbox. You used to be able to login to your mail directly from the yahoo.com main page. Now you have to click mail, then login. With Beta, you get a view of their "value add' content before you see your mail.

They keep adding more steps to simple customer tasks. Really stupid.

The only upside I saw was viewing attached images; you got the full-size view right in the body of the email. You still have to handle each attachment individually to save or copy though.

I don't know why they would think it's acceptable to load the page down so much that it's SLOWER. For #$%#s sake, all I want to do is see my mail. I stopped using hotmail for this very reason... it is PAINFULLY slow to use.
