<p>Yahoo is spiffing up and expanding its e-mail service in an attempt to regain some of the ground lost to a Google alternative that lured away millions of users.</p><p>The changes unveiled on Tuesday are meant to make Yahoo's e-mail faster and easier to use on the Web. To cater to the growing audience checking their e-mail on smartphones and tablet computers, Yahoo also introduced mobile apps for the iPhone, iPad and devices powered by Microsoft Corp's recently released Windows 8 system.</p><p>The company, which is based in Sunnyvale, California, also updated its e-mail app designed for Google Inc's Android operating system.</p><p>The e-mail overhaul is part of Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer's crusade to give people more reasons to visit the company's online services and stick around longer. In doing so, Mayer hopes to sell more advertising and accelerate Yahoo's revenue growth after years of financial malaise. The stagnation has kept the company's stock price below US$20 for more than four years. Yahoo shares were hovering near US$30 before the company squandered an opportunity to sell itself to Microsoft for US$33 per share in May 2008.</p><p><a href="http://www.taipeitimes.com/News/biz/archives/2012/12/13/2003550012">Keep reading...</a></p><p>Read also:</p><p><a href="http://www.siliconrepublic.com/new-media/item/30695-yahoo-ceo-mayer-gives/">Yahoo!
