As if email from freebie @yahoo.com addresses isn't enough, Yahoo has
now announces two new domains that the freebie spammers can spam from:
ymail.com and rocketmail.com
*SAN FRANCISCO — Yahoo Inc. is offering free e-mail accounts under two
new designations in an effort to attract Web surfers unhappy with their
current addresses.*
The Sunnyvale-based company expects to begin registering new addresses
under the domains of "ymail" and "rocketmail" around noon PDT Thursday
at http://mail.yahoo.com.
It will be the first time that Yahoo has offered e-mail accounts under
umbrellas other than its own company name since it became a
correspondence conduit in 1997.
Yahoo began offering free e-mail shortly after its $80 million
acquisition of Four11 Corp., which included the rocketmail domain.
Rocketmail users at the time of the acquisition were allowed to keep
their existing accounts, but Yahoo hadn't accepted any new addresses
under that name until now.
The diversification into new e-mail designations is being driven by the
difficulty that people are having as they try to find an appealing
e-mail handle under the Yahoo domain.
