However whenever I try to get a ymail or rocketmail site I am directed back to the existing yahoo site. This process is not user friendly - it sucks. I am not thick or stupid.

I have now opened a yahoo email account, which was originally for keeping my name private after enquiries from companies, etc. I would now like to have an additional account with my own name for contacting friends and family. I understand I can only have one Yahoo email account, so how do I have another account without switching between providers? Do I have to use Google or Hotmail for an alternate account, or is it better to wait for NTL to resolve the problem on my existing account with them?

Has anyone used it recently?. I have used it a month ago for four of my accounts in Gmail to transfer the messages to the newly created four yahoo accounts. After some mails were transfered, Yahoo posted a notice stating" Unusual Activity Detected.To protect you, your account has been suspended from sending, saving, and receiving mail for up to 48 hours." Consider following points: 1) Yahoo is incapable of identifying the activity of its own software and suspends the account considering the transfer as "Spamming". 2) The lock-down is not really for 48 hours as mentioned in the bright yellow notice but now it has been one month that my accounts have been suspended. 3) Yahoo help is a shame on the yahoo technical staff since whenever I complained about the matter, I was sent a template signed by one Mr. "George" which advises me to seek solution in the yahoo answers. 4) If I have to search for solutions in the yahoo answers it implies that either there is nothing like a "Yahoo technical staff team" which can read and solve the matter or yahoo doesn't really care for the users and hence those who say YUCK to Gmail, please reconsider. All my three yahoo accounts are now locked for one one month dur to trueswitch and Yahoo has NEVER helped despite complaining repeatedly. Is this what you would call service? I am quite amused to read your experiences but mine has been a disastrous one and I am really sorry but i cannot give full marks to yahoo for services. Any one who can help me lift the suspension since there is NO way I can get any help from yahoo. Bakul. Dear All, I can see you all going ga ga over yahoo’s Trueswitch application.

Also can I transfer my RSS feeds that I have associated with my old yahoo.co.uk account to my new ymail.com account ? Otherwise a very smooth transition, congrats thanks Chris I have moved from a yahoo.co.uk to a ymail.com address

We also don't ask our UK users to pay for the throw-away addresses feature: http://ymailuk.com/blog1/2008/07/31/addressguard/ In fact, if you read German, Yahoo was just named the #1 Webmail service by Computerbild magazine in Germany: http://www.computerbild.de/artikel/cb-Tests-Test-News-Test-News-yahoo.de_3109001.html IMAP is not a feature of Yahoo! Mail yet (with the exception of mobile devices), so we are not asking users to pay for that. I hope, like many of you, in the future we will be able to offer IMAP service in addition to POP/SMTP. Sorry to not respond sooner, there are a lot of comments/questions and, unfortunatlely, I can't answer each and every one. Thanks, Andrew - Yahoo Mail Team Are you able to answer my query Andrew or are you overlooking because there is not a positive answer ;0)

Thanks
