What is sg.mail.yahoo.com

A blast from the past!

sg.mail.yahoo.com is an old domain name that was used by Yahoo! for its email service. Specifically, it was the URL for the Yahoo! Mail service in Singapore (hence the "sg" in the domain name, which is the country code top-level domain for Singapore).

In the early days of the internet, many online services, including email providers, used country-code top-level domains (ccTLDs) to create localized versions of their services. This was done to make it easier for users to access their favorite services while abroad, and to comply with local regulations and laws.

Yahoo! Mail was one of the many services that used this approach. In the late 1990s and early 2000s, Yahoo! created localized versions of its email service, including sg.mail.yahoo.com for Singapore.

However, in 2013, Yahoo! merged its email services with those of AOL, and the company began to phase out its country-specific domains. As a result, sg.mail.yahoo.com is no longer an active domain name, and users are redirected to the main Yahoo! Mail domain (mail.yahoo.com) when they try to access it.

Today, Yahoo! Mail is still available, but it's no longer a separate service with country-specific domains. Instead, users can access their email accounts from anywhere in the world using the main Yahoo! Mail domain.
