What is Rocket Mail?

Rocket Mail was one of the first free webmail service providers. Even in the past, Rocket-mail gave tough competition to Hotmail for the number-one position among the free webmail service providers. This service belongs to Four11 Corporation. Four11, along with Rocket-mail, was acquired by Yahoo! for $92 in 1997.

At the time of adoption, Rocket Mail users could either choose Yahoo ID or could use username.rm as their respective Yahoo ID. So that, they will be able to keep their rocketmail.com address and receive the same services as all Yahoo users get.

Yahoo again started the Rocket Mail brand on 19 June 2008, by allowing them to sign up for accounts under the rocketmail.com domain.

In April 2013, Yahoo closed the support for creating a new Rocket Mail email address.
