Yahoo not only provides search and email, it also offers a ton of developer tools.
Unfortunately Yahoo is often it is eclipsed by Google. Yahoo tools are very worth exploring: http://developer.yahoo.com/everything.html.
One particular useful set of library is the Yahoo UI: a javascript libary. Though it takes a bit to get used to the javascripts but it can get you results quickly.
Need a widget like dialog, menu, calendar or tree? Just go to example, view in new window, View Source and voila. Nicely documented (unlike things like dojo)
For a full demo of what Yahoo UI can do: go to the All-New Mail in Yahoo.
Ooh, the tabs, the ajax involved, etc. etc. Of course, LEARN the BACK button won't work because you're using AJAX.
Ok, here is a problem. Why something happens in AJAX, like when I reply a mail. Boom. light-blue <DIV> tag of death. Come on.
Classic view doesn't have this problem. I don't have problem with refreshing the whole page in classic way.
If one day I must use yahoo all-new mail and it gives me light-blue DIV of death again,I must dump you, yahoo.
