Yahoo Mail officially launched on October 8, 1997, following Yahoo's acquisition of RocketMail, one of the world's first free webmail services. At the time, email was largely tethered to Internet Service Providers (ISPs) or paid services like AOL.
Today, Yahoo Mail operates in a unique niche. While it is no longer the default choice for new, younger internet users (who gravitate toward Gmail or Apple Mail), it retains a massive install base.
