Ymail, sounds like a question. Why mail? I don't know Gmail, sounds like Gee mail. I prefer the latter.

Of course for greater branding, Yahoo may have done this. Ymail = 5 letters Yahoo = 5 letters. Doesn't make a whole lot of sense from the typographical stand point but to equate Yahoo to Google seems like a Herculean effort.

I think the real question is, How much better is XYZ@yahoo.com vs. XYZ@ymail.com? Services, etc.
Or does it just roll off the tongue better/easier?

BTW - I tried to sign up for the new Ymail and cannot find any way 2 dew it. "Dew it", I don't care what you say that there's funny. :)
