Yahoo Mail launches to the iPhone and iPod Touch, HTML5-Style

Yahoo has launched a new, HTML5-based version of Yahoo Mail for the iPad. It’s similar to the recently launched version of Yahoo Mail for the iPhone and iPod Touch, Yahoo Mail product manager Lee Parry says, only optimized for iPad’s larger screen.

Features include local caching, which enables you to access and search your messages while offline. There’s also the ability to see rich photo attachments in full form, or as previews directly in the inbox views, as well as a dual-pane view for a better overview of your inbox.

You can also search through your inbox using Full Search, personal folders or Smart Folders with messages from your most important contacts.

To try it out, open mail.yahoo.com in your iPad’s Safari browser.
