Yahoo has added some new features to Yahoo Mail that were not included in its test of the service. For example, users can now send free text messages in real time from Yahoo Mail to cell phones in the U.S., Canada, India and the Philippines, according to a company statement. In addition, they can send instant messages from Yahoo Mail to Yahoo Messenger and Windows Live Messenger 2 users.
Yahoo Mail will also add a feature called Shortcuts that lets the system automatically recognize things such as dates and addresses, giving users the option of adding the information to their Yahoo Calendar or Contacts lists, launching Web searches and displaying a map inside the Yahoo Mail interface. The new Yahoo Mail will be available to Yahoo Small Business Mail users this fall.
