What are the differences to other applications?
The difference with other email applications is the unlimited storage space and the integration with Yahoo Messenger, Calendar, search engine, etc.
How does the application look and feel to use?
The website looks a bit dated but loads quickly. The welcome screen shows a Yahoo homepage instead of your inbox. This might help to get Yahoo more pageviews but it is annoying when you just want to read your email.

Yahoo Mail is ad supported. These animated graphic ads are displayed at the right side of the screen. In the beginning they are pretty distracting and you can't turn them off.

Yahoo mail is a good choice to use as an email application. Especially when you also use their homepage or Flickr. If you want more frequent functionality updates and a cleaner interface you might also consider Gmail.
