Yahoo!’s free online email service is to grow new tentacles with the company planning to add two domains alongside its existing “@yahoo.com” addresses. The struggling internet firm said it is to introduce “@ymail.com” and “@rocketmail.com” to give people who use its service a better choice of Yahoo! email address options.According to industry stats, the company has about 266 million peeps across the globe with a Yahoo! email address, making it the most popular web-based email in the world, ahead of Microsoft’s Hotmail and Google’s Gmail."We recognise that people want an email address that reflects who they are," Yahoo! Mail vice president John Kremer told Agence France-Presse.

I would like something shorter and simple for my Yahoo account that I use for Flickr.
I just thought of a great logo idea for them! The Y should be upper case and in blue, then the M should be an icon of an envelope with a red M outlining its folds, followed would be lower case A, I and L in yellow, blue and green respectively. Then to add a finishing touch the word BETA should appear under the logo for years, even after it is a completely stable product.

Or to put it another way...ybother?
Because everyone needs a spam mail address.

Got that right how about an email address ending in .YahSpam
You can tell gmail to forward all mails to another account if you were so inclined.
Once again, Yahoo!, if you're listening: IMAP. More (unlimited?) filters. Better Anti-Spam. Disposable Emails.
I got one rocketmail account in 1997.
I got free POP3..
So what are you on about?

For some reasons, @yahoo.com users don't get POP3 without paying. I know @yahoo.ca users get POP3 for free. I think it depends on the country.

Yahoo doesnt offer free POP3 for the US, you have to pay for it.
I've emailed them a few times to ask if I can get email added to my yahoo account, but never got a reply.
I used to have rocketmail before yahoo took it over, then later deactivated it.
If that's not sarcasm I'm detecting... it's because the local partner for Yahoo (in Australia) is Channel 7 (www.seven.com.au).
Meh!
