Yahoo! Mail offers two new domains - YMail & RocketMail

Yahoo! Mail LogoStop prefixing and suffixing numbers to your new e-mail id just because the e-mail you want is not available.

Yahoo! Mail has now added two new domains to help you get the e-mail id you always wanted. @yahoo.com e-mail addresses are still available but if you want a change, Yahoo! has two new domains @ymail.com & @rocketmail.com e-mail addresses available for sign-up now.

While @ymail.com looks inspired from @gmail.com, @rocketmail.com is the good old mail service that Yahoo! has acquired long back.

If “rocketmail” rings a bell, it’s because it’s vintage Internet. Back in the ’90s, RocketMail was one of the very first free Webmail services. Yahoo! acquired it in 1997 and built the first version of Yahoo! Mail based on RocketMail technology. Some of the original RocketMail users chose to keep their RocketMail IDs to show that they had been among the first users of Webmail.

Go get yourname@ymail.com or yourname@rocketmail.com now HERE !!!

Well, companies do many things to maintain their market presence. But then the limit applies; prefixing and suffixing the email ids will also come to ymail eventually.

Thanks.

ymail.com is ok. But rocketmail is a crappy domain name. You dont want to have an email id with a 10letter domain name attached to it.
