The Settings in Yahoo! Mail cover the bare minimum: confirm delete (on or off), confirm mark as spam (on or off), signature, and areas to report a problem or read more about Mail (which only shows the version number of the app). Press these app icons, and the affiliated program will launch if you have it installed, or you'll be whisked to the iTunes store and prompted to download it.Īt the very end of the menu are Tools, namely Settings (which are light), and then two buttons for "Share This App" and "Rate This App." Yahoo! could have done better to drop those last two promotional buttons and instead include more in the Settings, like out-of-office or vacation message controls, as Gmail has done.

Mail for iPhone (free), may have arrived a little too late to stem the Gmail tide, it helps Yahoo's cause by delivering a much richer email experience than the one iPhone owners are accustomed to in the bundled Mail app. In another trend, the Apple iPhone is becoming a top way people consume email.
