An all new Yahoo! mail is now available for Safari 3 on Mac OS X, according to Yahoo! on Wednesday. Previously, Mac users were required to use Firefox to access both Classic Yahoo! mail and the new Yahoo! mail.

The support extends to Safari 3 on both Mac OS X 10.4.11 and any version of Leopard, 10.5.x.

"Our guys have been working feverishly to make sure that everything works as intended. Some have even made the occasional trip down the road to "The Mother-ship," said Ryan K., the Community Manager of Yahoo! Mail.

"The rollout is already underway, and we hope to have the updates out to most of you within the next couple weeks. Once it�s completed, folks running the most recent update of Tiger (OS 10.4.11), as well as those using any version of Leopard (OS 10.5.x), will have a version of Safari that plays nice with the All-New Yahoo! Mail. Or maybe it�s a version of Safari that the All-New Mail plays nice with. Either way, they are pals now, and that�s what really matters," said the Yahoo! Mail Manager in his Blog.
