A variety of email accounts can be handy. It's great to keep a
personal email that you only give to friends, a business email that you only
give to associates, a "trusted provider" email that you give to
companies you trust not to sell your name, and the risky list—when you're just
not sure who you're giving your name to. To manage these, it's important to
have an email provider you trust.
Yahoo! is one of the Web's most reliable and
long-standing email providers, and it's no wonder— it's free, it's fast, and
it's easy to set up in a jiffy. Enjoy the efficiency of corresponding in style
and security with your new Yahoo! Mail account.
