Starting today, Yahoo! users will have two more options to choose from for their email addresses. The two new email address domains are ymail.com and rocketmail.com.
The rocketmail.com domain name relates back to Yahoo!'s $92 million acquisition of Four11 in 1997. Four11 is the company that offered free RocketMail service.
Yahoo! claims to presently have over 260 million users, and probably, most of the simple IDs are already used up, so users are left with no other option but to create complicated IDs and then strive to remember them. However, with the new domain address additions, users can once again create simpler IDs ending with ymail.com and rocketmail.com.
Email accounts created using the new domain addresses will offer the same features as Yahoo.com including unlimited storage at no cost and instant messenger built within the in-box. Users will be able to use these IDs to sign-in into other Yahoo! sites and services. Meanwhile, the company also plans to launch the localized country versions of the same.
