The new version was announced by Yahoo Chief Executive Marissa Mayer in a blog post, will be available on all major platforms, it includes an updated web Mail version and new apps for  Windows 8, iPhone and Android.

“You’ve told us loud and clear that you want fewer distractions when it comes to email. You want to quickly login, communicate, and get on with your day,” Mayer said in a post on Yahoo’s official blog on Tuesday.

Vivek Sharma, General Manager of Yahoo Mail & Messenger, said the group of new mobile apps was part of Yahoo’s goal of ensuring that its products are available across all major mobile platforms a move that he said should help Yahoo’s email stay popular with the younger generation of users.

“Most of the new users, especially young ones, are using mobile Internet devices. So the first order of things is to make sure there are native experiences for them,” said Sharma referring to mobile apps that are specially designed for smartphones.

    The new Web interface has a big bug. If you receive an html message with a link and in the link text there is an email, instead of following the href of the link, it wants to perform a mailto action.
