Yahoo! Mail now offers users the option of a second email address, which may contain a “.” (full stop or period).
Apparently the new addresses are being snapped up quickly. One blogger reports that his firstname.secondname@yahoo.com address was already taken. So hurry over if you are a Yahoo! Mail user.
Mac users with Yahoo! Mail accounts are well catered for. YMail offers Yahoo-specific menubar notification and you can download your Yahoo emails into Mail.app with either MacFreePOPs or MailForward.

For some reason I haven’t been able to create a new Yahoo! account (for Flickr migration) in Safari or Camino. Same problem trying to change my eBay username to include a dot. No trouble creating a dotted e-mail address for Gmail, though. Unsolved mystery.
