Yahoo offers new e-mail address domains

Yahoo is offering free e-mail accounts under two new designations in an effort to attract web surfers unhappy with their current addresses.

The California-based company expects to begin registering new addresses under the domains of "ymail" and "rocketmail" at http://mail.yahoo.com.

It will be the first time that Yahoo has offered e-mail accounts under umbrellas other than its own company name since it became a correspondence conduit in 1997.
