Yahoo Mail Offers AutoComplete
Yahoo Mail continues to beef up its web-based e-mail toolset to make it even more like desktop e-mail clients. The latest gadget is a quick download that offers "auto complete" functionality when typing a recipient e-mail address.
Users of Outlook and Outlook Express (and possibly other mail programs) have been accustomed to this convenience for years. Until now, with Yahoo Mail you either had to create a nickname for a user and type that, or rely on Internet Explorer's built in auto complete form feature. Now, however, you just type a letter, and the To: field becomes a drop-down menu from which you can select a recipient.
Sure, it isn't revolutionary, but it is evolutionary, and Yahoo has taken one more step toward making e-mail a true hosted application that's just as robust as desktop programs like Outlook. Can the Yahoo Office suite be far behind?
