Every time I&nbsp;think I want to go somewhere else for mail or a different home page, the folks at Yahoo make a nice and welcome change. Recently they have revamped the functionality in both the mail and the My Yahoo page. The mail beta has been out for some time now so I am going to focus my comments on the My Yahoo page changes. Both the mail and My Yahoo&nbsp;pages are in beta so your mileage may vary.<\/p>\n<h4>Appearance<\/h4>\n<p>Switching over to the new&nbsp;beta was easy and relatively painless. I was pleasantly surprised that my&nbsp;old theme, Stars&nbsp;&amp; Stripes,&nbsp;was not too garish. Although the theme was fun, I decided to change the color by personalizing the page. I tried beige initially but the lack of contrast made it harder on my eyes so I settled on blue. Note: I do not know how to switch back to my old theme.<\/p>\n<p>Some of the things I noticed:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>I prefer the new layout when I use a wide browser window. <\/li>\n<li>If you add it to a new module to the&nbsp;page and the fonts look fuzzy you need to refresh your screen.<\/li>\n<li>Switching between pages(e.g. Finance page)&nbsp;is pretty slow. I think this is due to the advertisement.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Modules<\/h4>\n<p>The next thing I needed to clean up was the modules. Some of the modules are not&nbsp;supported. Since most of the modules that did not appear were not too important to me, I deleted them.<\/p>\n<p>I added a few new modules. The mail preview is a module I have used in the past and found it almost useless. It kind of works. It has Web 2.0ish&nbsp;preview that is useless for most of my email. I suppose I could use it to delete email if that function was available but I think I will keep a separate window open to my mail. I get way too much low priority mail for this small interface to do me much good.<\/p>\n<p>The Market Summary is a module I have not used in the past. It&#8217;s nice although I do not know why I need to know the market summary. <\/p>\n<p>The TV Listings interface benefits from the improvements to the interface. Scrolling to the next hour was quick. I like the new Weather module.<\/p>\n<p>Movie Showtimes and Evite are two modules in appear to be in development. I wonder what the folks are going to do with del.icio.us and Flickr.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/myyblog.com\/blog\/2007\/06\/13\/want-meaty-new-modules-you-got-it\/\">My Yahoo!
