Here’s a quick update with information on new domains in use
at a couple of large internet services providers.
Apple’s .mac service is transitioning to .me: Users with an
email address @mac.com will now have that same address @me.com. Both addresses
will continue to work, from what we understand at this time.
Yahoo India
has added the domain yahoo.in. Users who sign up for new email accounts at
Yahoo India
will be given an email address in the domain yahoo.in. Older addresses have a
domain of yahoo.co.in. It’s not clear if these are interchangeable, and I
wouldn’t assume that they are.
Yahoo US
also recently added two new domains: ymail.com and rocketmail.com. New Yahoo
users can choose an email address in either of these domains if desired, in
addition to the current yahoo.com domain. Consider mail to any of these domains
“sending to Yahoo.”
