Organizer for Yahoo! Mail gets a new look

April 26 2010, 9:00am

Since we launched Organizer for Yahoo! Mail a year ago, the application has undergone several makeovers. It got the job done, but as with most applications in their first generation, it was definitely in need of some polish.Below is what Organizer for Yahoo! Mail looked like when we launched the application just one year ago. Senders were listed in alphabetical order and not by folder. The sender's name could not be changed. Even the folders a sender was organized into could not be changed. We've come a long way from these humble beginnings. There have been at least three complete redesigns of the application in the past year.Our most recent redesign gives Organizer a fresh new look. As a Yahoo! Mail application, we wanted to reinforce how Organizer works with Yahoo! Mail. For example, you may notice the folder icons and the font for the folder names match how Yahoo! Mail presents folders.    New features we've introduced in the past twelve months have also influenced the design. Grouping senders by folder allow you to drag-and-drop a sender from one folder to another. Since the most common action a user is likely to take is turning off the organizing of a sender, we've made this Folders page the first thing you see when you open the application.What do you think of the current design? How can we make it better and easier to use?It's even easier to invite your friends!We love that so many of our users want to share Organizer with their friends and family. To make this even easier, we've added a new Invitations page right inside the application. Just click the Invitations tab to get started.Click "Suggest people" and we will make some suggestions based on your sent messages. Or, just enter in the email addresses of your friends and family in the designated spaces. Review the message and click "Send invitations" and we will send your message with a link directly to the signup page. You can even track the status of your invitations in the column on the right.
