In order to entice those netizens who are not really happy with their current e-mail addresses, the Yahoo Inc. is now proffering free e-mail accounts under two new designations. It is from Thursday onwards that this American company based at Sunnyvale expects to start registering new addresses under the domains of ‘ymail’ and ‘rocketmail’ at http://mail.yahoo.com.

For Yahoo, it is going to be the first time that it will offer e-mail accounts under umbrellas other than its personal company name. This internet services company started providing free e-mail soon after its $ 80 million acquisition of Four 11 Corp. that comprises the rocketmail domain. At that time the users of rocketmail were permitted to continue with their accounts, but the Yahoo Company had not accepted any new addresses under that name until now.

The provision of two fresh e-mail addresses by Yahoo is designed to ease the difficulty of those people who are trying to search an good e-mail handle under the Yahoo domain. On the other hand, even the huge popularity of Yahoo e-mail had dwindled down the choice available before them. This caused the netizens to do a lot of metal gymnastics to come up with a suitable e-mail address that was not already taken. Yahoo is hoping the additional options created with the ymail and rocketmail will help boost its e-mail growth.
