Hi Guys,

Just log into Yahoo mail and try to create a new email id. Now, you can have whatever username you need from Yahoo. No unwanted suggestions like iamajofromkerala1234@yahoomail.com or something. Type in your name and get the username you desire.

I'm talking about new domains from Yahoo mail - Ymail and Rocketmail. They just started offering two new e-mail domains for its free e-mail service. If you do not know about Rocketmail, then just to tell you that rocketmail was once a big free email service which was acquired by Yahoo in 1997. After 1997, no new Rocketmail.com email addresses could be registered. Rocketmail was the only serious competitor to Hotmail. Yahoo let old Rocketmail users use their mail addresses and until today, those with Rocketmail addresses are regarded as the original users of the internet!!

So basically, you have now more choice while you register a new email address at Yahoo mail. Yahoo said that this move was inspired also from the fact that now there are not much choices left for Yahoo domain for email, users have to think hard in order to get some impressive email address at Yahoo, hence introduction of new domains will help in it.

As a part of mail features, Ymail will have the same features as that of Yahoo Mail, including unlimited storage, instant messaging integration and virus protection.

So in total, you now have 3 domain names.. you can have ajo@yahoo.com , ajo@rocketmail.com, and ajo@ymail.com

Currently Yahoomail is used by 260 million users. So the launching of ymail.com and reintroduction of Rocketmail.com, gives Yahoo Mail users a more vivid choice to get a email id of their desired usenames and now with a more stylish name such as Ymail

(Do you think this name resembles GMail !!! PLEASE POST YOUR OPINION ON THIS IN THE COMMENTS FIELD).
