Yahoo gives IM to its Classic Mail

The millions of users of Yahoo Mail's "Classic" edition will get some of the features that made it into the Web portal's more advanced free e-mail service more than a year ago.

Yahoo has announced that it has begun rolling out integrated instant messaging (IM) and SMS text messaging features to Mail Classic users worldwide. The features had previously been available in the current (new) version of Yahoo Mail, which differs from Classic in that it offers a more dynamic, tab-based user interface.

But soon, users hanging onto "Classic Mail" version may get a nice surprise.

The features will take a few months to roll out to all of Mail Classic's users, which Yahoo described as numbering in the millions -- indicating that it still has a chunk of Yahoo's user base, even though the portal has been pushing its more advanced Mail version for more than a year. There are over 280 million users of market leader Yahoo's e-mail services worldwide, according to comScore.

Track IP address and location of a mail

I was wondering how to find out the IP address of the machine that sends a mail. I thought it might take a lot of effort but its quiet simple.

Lets take Gmail first:

1. Open your Gmail inbox and click on the mail for which you wanna know the IP address.
2. Click on the downward facing rectangle near the Reply button.
3. Now click Show Orginal from the menu and this show a window full of text.
4. Search for the line that says Received: From and this will contain the ip address of the sender machine.
5. To find out the location of an IP address there are so many utilities available on the net. To access one such application click here.

To access this information in Yahoo, open a mail and in the Bottom Right hand side corner click on Full Header and you can retrieve the IP address.

yahoo mail in Hindi

I just got to see an option of changing my yahoo mail font to hindi. I couldn't understand the motive of Yahoo to provide hindi font to the users. Probably Yahoo would have also changed Windows to hindi, if Microsoft - Yahoo deal had materialized.
Just think of START button as "Shuru Karen" (read in hindi). I didnt get this option in my other Yahoo accounts though.
