I have used Yahoo! Mail for a while now but have never received an invite to try out the beta of their new Mail app. Here is a way to hack Yahoo! Mail to get you in the beta.

To get Yahoo Mail Beta, just switch your content preference to Germany, France or UK. Then you will be asked if you want to join the beta when you log into your Yahoo Mail. Say yes, and join the beta. Then from the options menu, change your content preference what it was before. Then go to Yahoo Mail again. You should see Yahoo Beta. If you don’t see it, go to options and click “Try Beta” button. That’s all.

It works. I was just able to do it myself. The only annoying thing is having to login multiple times while you bounce around from Mail to Options, etc.
