I don’t have a cell phone, but if I did win I would set up an account, so since I am not as fortunate as others, I guess I don’t get to play??

Not fair, I just want to be part of the group.

Someone should tell the newbies at Yahoo that the company has acquired other domains over the years. The sweepstakes form would not accept my rocketmail.com addy — yes it’s a yahoo mail account.

I agree with EM’s points. Is it that far off to put IMAP on desktop clients if you’re already doing “mobile” Blackberry clients and the iPhone?

Great competition…………if you live in the USA. Why don’t they put a notice saying “If you live outside the USA, don’t bother with this competition”, then we wouldn’t waste time filling in our details.

Ryan-

Here’s something I don’t understand. Yahoo Push email has been enabled with the iPhone. You’re also talking about taking the Yahoo Email experience mobile on a variety of devices. What about computer email clients?

In light of this contest, why does it seem that Yahoo has no news at all on implementing IMAP for use with computer email clients?

Is there some huge technological obstacle in the way of Yahoo IMAP? Or if the concern is a revenue return because ads won’t be pushed with the use of a local email client, that’s entirely not the case. I can’t use my laptop in many places and so I’ll be using the yahoo email website and seeing the banner ads. You don’t seem to mind the revenue model for POP and you charge 20 bucks a year for Yahoo Mail Plus to have it without banner ads.

Please just charge us anywhere from 20-100 bucks a year to recoup your lost advertising revenue per user for IMAP. It’s a glaring omission in an otherwise great email service.

Thank you,
EM
