yahoo free e-mail accounts under two new domains

[tirumani]

Yahoo started offering free e-mail accounts under two new domains: ymail and rocketmail. Both ymail.com and rocketmail.com already lead to the Yahoo Mail landing page; if you register your free e-mail account under one of these two new domain names, you’ll get the exact same features as you would with “standard” mail.yahoo.com.
I doubt many surfers will run to register their name@rocketmail.com accounts; the domain name is a bit too long for today’s standards.
Ymail, on the other hand, is a clear jab at Gmail. Although Yahoo Mail is the market leader with the most users, Google caused a major disruption when they offered nearly unlimited storage capacity. That, along with the fact that Gmail was great at killing spam and really easy to use, was enough to grab a big piece of the free e-mail market. Yahoo and Microsoft have, for the most part, caught up with Gmail’s storage offering - Yahoo Mail now offers unlimited storage - but Gmail is now killing them with features and great integration with other Google services.
Thus, although Gmail is not the market leader, the fact is that Gmail is growing much faster than both Yahoo and Microsoft, and I doubt that these two new domains Yahoo is offering will change that.

Yeah, gmail loads faster and more user-friendly than yahoo's new mail.

I still feel easy with yahoo mail, maybe because I have been with them since the first day. I have a Gmail account too but rarely use it. Does the Ymail account have the features like standard yahoo mail or there are some upgrades?

Ymail and Yahoomail are the same, just name change....
Although after i signed up, it asked me do you want to use the basic version or (some other) version which looked like gmail layout.

I too hate Yahoo mainly because of the confusion in the ids..
yahoo.com
yahoo.co.in
yahoo.co.uk

etc etc. It irritated me because older accounts were yahoo.com, newer accounts were yahoo.co.in, some changed, some did not. So, I am a fan of Gmail from then...
