Yahoo Mailbox sadly outage

Starting today, Alibaba's China Yahoo Mail business officially stopped today.

Since entering China in 1999, Yahoo has launched its mail service in the same year. In the early days of China's Internet development, mail services were a must for Internet companies.

However, 2005 years, Yahoo to 1 billion U.S. dollars and Chinese Yahoo's assets in exchange for the price of Alibaba's 40% stake, from China Yahoo second to Alibaba.

September 2007, Yahoo China announced the launch of the first "lifetime Mailbox", and unlimited capacity, using @yahoo.cn domain name. The "Lifetime mailbox" integration of Yahoo albums, music boxes, music search and other practical functions, this publicity has attracted a lot of Chinese users.

However, with the battle between Ali and Yahoo, Yahoo mailbox head of the Halo faded. October 2010, Yahoo's vote in Ali from 35% to 39%, higher than the Ali management team voting rights, MA (Weibo) and Yahoo control the battle began. and Yahoo mailbox for a long time no new news, Chinese yahoo mail spam also more and more.

As Ali and Yahoo headquarters of the bad, coupled with the platform for the electric business of Ali is not good at Yahoo engaged in the media sector, Yahoo China in the whole of the Ali system is less important. From the business support point of view, Yahoo China's mailbox is not very meaningful. So it is inevitable that the mailbox business is marginalized.

According to the latest data of the Internet Data statistics agency Hitwise, China's current mailbox traffic share of the top five has been QQ mailbox, 163 netease free mail, Sohu Lightning free mail, NetEase mobile phone mail and QQ mobile phone occupied.

And China's Yahoo mailbox ranking dropped to sixth place, China's Yahoo Mail access volume in the past 12 months, continued to shrink, has now fallen to 1.9%.

So with the April 18 this year, Yahoo China said it will close the Mail service announcement. Once declared "Lifetime mailbox" Yahoo mailbox Midway exit, Yahoo is actually renege.
