According to Yahoo, we are facing an e-mail account crisis: there are too many similar accounts. In other words, Yahoo considers that there are too many IDs and the newcomers won’t be able to create an e-mail account according to their personality or name.The consequence? Instead of having a simple e-mail address, such as myname@yahoo.com, many Yahoo mail users end up with strange combinations such as myname_20005@yahoo.com or myhobby3456@yahoo.com. So Yahoo decided to extend the possible combinations, by launching two new e-mail domains, rocketmail and ymail.
In fact, saying that Yahoo has introduced two new e-mail domains is not entirely accurate, because rocketmail has been around since the early ages of the dot.com era. Rocketmail was acquired in 1997 when Yahoo decided that offering a free, web-based e-mail would be a nice addition to its services.
