Yahoo announces new mail app for iOS and Android users in India

Yahoo on Thursday announced the launch of the new Yahoo Mail app for iOS and Android users in India. The app is designed to allow users to access mail as well as information important to them, all in one space.

The app surfaces the information you search for every day-- your email, news, weather and more -- all in one place. The app is designed with a focus on simplicity: it's the familiar Yahoo Mail experience, plus one-tap access to personalized, real-time information.

When you first open the Yahoo Mail app, you'll see your Yahoo Mail inbox. You'll also see a new panel with icons for Mail, News and Today on your screen. This is where all your news, information, and communications come together.

The new Yahoo Mail on Android comes with a couple of unique features. Simply swipe left or right or tap the relevant icon in the upper right-hand corner of your screen to quickly and seamlessly move between your inbox, news stream, and Today.

As part of this update, Yahoo is also introducing a new experience when you search for people in your inbox. Further, the app filters your search results by messages, files or photos, and you can easily scroll through them to find what you are looking for.

When you're finished reading and replying to your email, a quick tap on the News icon will show you what's happening in the world around.

In the Today icon you'll find a snapshot of the information you care about most every day - from your local weather to a news digest and images from Flickr.
