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.
