Yahoo is now offering free e-mail accounts under the domain of "rocketmail" again since its acquisition of Four11 Corp. back in 1997.
Rocketmail was one of the first major free webmail services and was a product of Four11. At one time, RocketMail battled with Hotmail for the number one spot amongst free webmail services.
Though Yahoo Mail is essentially the old RocketMail webmail system, RocketMail users carry a mark of distinction as some of the first Internet webmail users as Yahoo, until recently reserve the Rocketmail domain for their use. Another domain offered by Yahoo is "ymail".
The introduction of these new e-mail designations is being driven by the difficulty potential users are having as they try to find an appealing e-mail handle under the Yahoo domain. This is a great news for Yahoo mail users!
The difficulty of getting a nice login existed quite a long time ago, and only when I register with my full name that it is possible for me to get a Yahoo mail, and this is 7 years ago. I really can't imagine how can anyone register for Yahoo mail in this past 7 years! But at lease now, one can have more options with the reintroduction of Rocketmail and the new "ymail"!
