Yahoo is planning to unveil this fall yet another revamp to its Yahoo Mail service, to address a drop in users and improve the product's performance overseas where Net connections tend to be slower.
As part of a project code-named "Minty," Yahoo plans to juice up the performance of its Web-based e-mail service and bring its look in line with iPad and Android versions of the product, the Wall Street Journal reported Saturday.
"We have been previewing our next version of e-mail that provides higher performance, sleeker design, and great integration" with social-networking sites, a Yahoo representative told the Journal.
Though it's the No. 1 Web-based e-mail product in the U.S., ahead of both Gmail and Hotmail combined, Yahoo Mail has recently watched its user totals slip, according to ComScore figures quoted by the Journal.
