The Yahoo! Developer Network released a new set of API’s today. They opened up the “Yahoo! Mail Web Service APIs“. This set of API’s is possibly the best set to ever be released..
Back in Dec I posted about my latest win at Hack Day (you can read about that here). Well, now that the API’s have been released, I can show you my winning hack 
Note: This hack was built in around 12 hours and it has not been tested! The code is messy and could have been done better, but I wanted to get as much done as possible so I hacked it quite a bit!
So now on to the hack…
My hack was called “CandyGram Lite” and it was an attempt to rebuild the new Yahoo! Mail Beta with semantic markup and using the YUI tools. Not only to make it faster, but to make it work in all Grade A Browsers.
Enough of the yapping, here’s the link:

You will need a Yahoo! Mail account in order to use it. If you don’t have one, get one here.
Please be gentle on my server
Very cool to read about your hack. I’ve been reading through the Yahoo! API docs, and I’d love to find a way to create my own program. Alas, I think the technical side of it might be over my head.
@Nathan –
It should be fixed now..
Hi Dave, I’m getting a php error on your CandyGram Lite demo page currently.Also, when leaving a comment on your blog, when I hit [tab] from the website field, it scrolls way up the page instead of tabbing down to the textarea.
I tried this. I like the look and feel better than default yahoo mail!!
But its infinitely slow. The mail never ever loads!!!
its a nice idea and a great work guys….
THANKS M. FLYER
Hmm, no download version of this? I don’t want to have to login to your site to use this =(
Gratz great work!
This is a great idea and has a lot of potential. I hopeyou keep at it.
Awesome, add another to the growing list of apps.
