I was able to register an address at ymail.com that was already taken at yahoo.com, so you can register addresses that were previously taken. I think that was kind of the point of adding the additional domains.

Same here… took about 10 tries to get through to get the two addresses I wanted. Looks like the registration service is down yet again though. I get this error now: “Sorry, Unable to process request at this time — error 999.”

Yeah, you're right. I only tested one combination because I was in a hurry.

Cool, thanks for the warning! Got two very nice, short @ymail addresses now I’ll switch to those from my old Y! accounts.

Apparently you can register a previously-registered @yahoo.com address. The first/last combination I wanted was taken back in 1997, but I managed to get it on ymail.com today anyway.
