Ok so this is kind of old news from last month but I thought I’d post it because I haven’t posted anything about Microsoft Mail Beta (Codename Kahuna) on my blog yet and to be honest I posted it hoping that it might help me know more about Kahuna and get to know more about its developers and maybe find a way to get into the Beta Program, the post I quote bellow is from Imran Quresh’s Msn Space Blog which contains some information on Kahuna along with some screenshots of it, once I know anymore new news about Kahuna I’ll be sure to post about here:<\/p>\n

I’ve posted an entry on our team blog talking about some of the key features of kahuna. I’ve also included an official screenshot. You may have seen some screenshots on the blogosphere but some of them are not actually kahuna…<\/p>\n

P.S: I’ll be posting screenshots of more features in the coming days.<\/p>\n

    Top 5 reasons I love the mail beta\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 reasons 1 and 2<\/a>
    \nMail beta is a brand new web mail experience focused on being faster, simpler and safer than existing web mail services (    read more<\/a>). The team<\/a> focused on the basics of reading and sending mail. Mail beta is a work-in-progress and a large number of beta users<\/a> are driving what it becomes (we can barely keep up with all their ideas\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

    Here’s the first of some of my favorite things about reading mails in mail beta:<\/p>\n

    1. Fast, faster and faster still<\/strong>
    \nMail beta is significantly faster, I mean by an order of magnitude:
    \na) The UI responds instantly to many actions and quickly to others
    \nb) Very few context switches (where the whole page changes and your eyes have to rescan)
    \nc) You need fewer clicks to do the everyday tasks
    \nd) Cleaner look (including more white space) so your eyes can relax and find stuff faster<\/p>\n

    2. Read mail without leaving your inbox using the Reading pane<\/strong>
    \nThe Reading pane allows you to read your mail without leaving your inbox. If you like the reading pane in Outlook now you have it in web mail. Other web mail services forces you to open each message and close it before reading the next message. If you have 10 messages to read, they will require 20 clicks, Kahuna: 10. (How’s that for your carpal tunnel?)<\/p>\n

    Want to see a wide email? Just double click the message and voila!<\/p>\n
