Aswin,

my 0.5 cents on the matter, Spammer won’t gain by knowning if an id is free bcoz I assume they won’t make lots of money unless their spams get clicked and that can happen only when some mails do reach Inbox where they end up being opened and acted upon.

I understand that they can make money by create a new id and adding that in their list and claim their list being bigger…

Btw do check an interesting feature in Gmail to have Temp ids…

Also if u wanna know extent of Phishing, check this – http://blog.dreamhost.com/2006/08/31/phishing-phor-phishers/

and then see a sequel at -

Btw can I have 2-3hrs of u at my home in Nov’06 for doing a one to one on simple tips that would be useful if packaged with audio-video-screen shot combo…lets meet some time and just make simple content to get started in blogging in a spammy world…Can u be my Sheperd in the journey dear..

Giving user name and password and then checking like you have said will take more time than the former.

For more information about it you can find in the Yahoo it self, Click on the Passeword Protection link. Hi Ashwin,
