“When it comes to OS X applications, Yahoo is normally a bit (or a lot) behind the curve. The rather lackluster beta 2 release of Messenger for Mac provided Leopard compatibility but not much else, and offered proof of just how far behind the curve the company was. Yahoo! Mail is another example of Yahoo dragging its feet, since only yesterday did the new-look Mail get an upgrade to work with Safari 3 on OS X,” Justin Berka reports for Ars Technica.
“For the record, Safari 3 has been out since June of 2007, and the latest iteration of Yahoo Mail (called All-New Yahoo Mail) has been out since August. During the past few months, Safari 3 users on OS X have had to deal with with Mail Classic, or have been forced to use Firefox to get to the newer Yahoo Mail,” Berka reports.

MacDailyNews Take: Full headline: “Yahoo! Mail finally works with Apple’s Safari 3 (at least until Microsoft takes over)”
[Thanks to MacDailyNews Reader “Island Girl” for the heads up.]
‘Former Mac User’ needs to get on with his life.
I agree with Ampar. It is funny how some people are critical of Mac users zeal, but this guy is here doing what? Goading total strangers? At least our zeal is for something positive.
Mr. ‘FMU’:
1. Nobody’s life revolves around Apple.
2. The myth that Lemmings all run off cliffs is actually false.
3. The term ‘Lemming’ is applied to a group who, out of ignorance follow the crowd into some kind of folly. Soccer hooligans, for example.
Or windows users.
Ok that was unkind. Sorry.
So what are YOU zealous about FMU? Don’t you have something that you are just crazy about. A girl? A planet? An inert gas? There has to be something.
I love my Mac. It has enabled me to start my own business without even buying any software. Everything was already on my iMac.
That’s exciting to me.
But please. I’m no ‘lemming’ and I have a life. I have a wife and I have kids and I have friends. Looking through MDN is a hobby. Like cow tipping or origami.
Listen, every big company has many many faults, but I’ll take Apple faults over Micros**t faults any day.
Hotmail doesn’t work properly with Safari either. Nor does MacDailyNews – i use Firefox for both Hotmail and MDN these days…
“A girl? A planet? An inert gas?” (that’s funny!)
But you can only pick one because each of those can be extremely time consuming.
@Former Idiot,
That was definitely one of the better anti-troll defenses I’ve read in a while!
I keep posting this, but I hope one day people will listen and stop bitching about adverts on MDN, or any other site for that matter:
Safari AdBlock. Free & Simple.
Comprendé?
@nekogami13 – actually, i had the same experience. I haven’t tried this on a Mac today, but I would always get the message that the NewYahoo Mail was not supported by Safari, but it gave you an option to go to the New Yahoo Mail anyway. I always choose that, and it works fine.
@DLMeyer – try clicking on the link to use the New Yahoo Mail anyway. It should work fine with Safari v.3
@ Steve, yep.
I wish firefox would figure out why it doesn’t work and fix it.
Oracle-I could not get safari adblock to work.
YaWho?
btw FMU is a ZT wannabe… dont feed the trolls
Hey “No Problem Here”. It took longer than 2 minutes this morning, the only reason I even logged on to the site to see if others were having the same problem and it appears they are. Good for you if you can get on quickly, those of us who can’t are irritated. I guess in your books that’s called “whining”, well fuck you, this is a site I like but I’m not prepared to sit and wait for a minute for each article to load. If that’s whining then I’m a whiner, now go fuck yourself.
Yahoo now screwed up their message board for Safari.
