If your have just switched to the new faster Yahoo Mail Interface, then you would have certainly missed one feature of reading pane. reading pane is a window just beneath the mail list. If you click on a mail, the mail content is shown in the reading pane.

This feature is available in the new interface but is not selected by default when you switch over to it. You need to manually set it to make your reading pane visible. [More]

Have you tried the new Yahoo Mail (Beta version)? If not, then you should do it right now!! It is faster, better and more colorful than ever before.

The product is still in its beta version and would be rolled out soon to all Yahoo mail users. I have been using Yahoo mail for about 7 years now and simply love it. [More]
