See http://home.ionet.net/~paroales/ROCKET.HTM This is why one of the first web mail services adopted this name. Well, I'm an internet user from 1998. so when I came in this world the Rocket Mail was already taken by Yahoo. Now, finally, I have the opportunity to take a RocketMail address! Hello Raphael,

Rocket Mail was a postal service used for the first time in early 30’s and was still used until late 80’s.
See http://home.ionet.net/~paroales/ROCKET.HTM

This is why one of the first web mail services adopted this name.

Well, I’m an internet user from 1998. so when I came in this world the Rocket Mail was already taken by Yahoo.

Now, finally, I have the opportunity to take a RocketMail address!

Anyway, Yahoo Mail is terrible at <a href="http://www.shanghaitechwriter.com/2008/06/10/where-spam-is-born/" rel="nofollow">keeping spam away from mailboxes</a>. Hotmail is even worse! Gmail is going to take the lead in mail service very soon. I think I had Rocketmail years ago!! Anyway, Yahoo Mail is terrible at keeping spam away from mailboxes. Hotmail is even worse!
