Mail today have with CertifiedEmail.

CertifiedEmail provides a reliable means for consumers to easily identify authentic messages from legitimate commercial and nonprofit senders with whom they have a pre-existing relationship. Available only to senders with the best email practices, CertifiedEmail messages are delivered directly to the inbox with all links and images rendered by default. CertifiedEmail messages are displayed with a non-spoofable blue ribbon envelope in the email interface highlighting the message’s safety to consumers. Adopted by seven of the nation’s top 10 ISPs, more than 400 commercial brands and 200 government agencies and nonprofits send CertifiedEmail today.

Yahoo! Mail is one of the most popular Webmail services in the world with more than 260 million users worldwide (comScore Media Metrix, June 2008) . As a result of its global popularity, many desirable email addresses have already been taken for the yahoo.com domain, as well as for localized versions of the namespace in countries around the world. With the two new email domain choices, Yahoo! is making millions of new email addresses available to the online community. Inboxes at the new domains will have all of the same great Yahoo! Mail features as addresses at the yahoo.com domain, including the ability to receive CertifiedEmail.
