Ymail vs Gmail

Are you a fan of multiple mailboxes ? Or you maybe want to have the perfect one ? Well, starting from today Yahoo release the new free mail accounts : Ymail and rocketmail. While the first comments about Ymail are rather good, rocketmail is rather on a dead end. The name itself is to big and not useful in every day usage. Yahoo is still a leader in memberships (266 milions) but Gmail is closing fast (101 milions of users). Will the Ymail let the Yahoo remain the rank of lidership ? We will see…

You really think that Ymail will have a potential to threat Gmail? At first the name - it is just a copy of Gmail and it's much easier to say G then Y. Also there is a problem with people who not necessarily speak english fluently. If you tell them gmail - I know - from practice - 90% will write it correctly. But when you say whymail (Ymail) I am not so sure if it still be 90%. The second one is of course bunch of stuff that you can use your gmail login for. So I thing that Ymail will have some clients, but it's hard to fight with gmail.
