RocketMail - Wikipedia. RocketMail was one of the first major free webmail services. The service was originally a product of Four11 Corporation. For a brief time, RocketMail battled with Hotmail for the number-one spot among free webmail services. Four11, including RocketMail, was acquired by Yahoo! in 1997 for $92 million. [1] .
Rocket mail is the delivery of mail by rocket or missile. The rocket lands by deploying an internal parachute upon arrival. It has been attempted by various organizations in many countries, with varying levels of success.

This little recorded experiment took place just outside London, shortly after the Air Post Exhibition. Three witnesses, including a journalist and a businessman, watched Zucker set up an ‘aluminium cartridge propelled by a rocket’. Zucker fired the rocket from a launching rack and ‘when the rocket had exhausted its energy a parachute floated the ma...
Zucker loaded letters into his rocket, bearing special stamps sold by The British Rocket Syndicate. Contemporary reports state that the rocket carried ‘upwards of 3000 letters.’ However, the rocket didn’t really deliver any mail. The rocket shot into the air and returned to earth. The letters were retrieved, taken to the Post Office, and delivered ...
In July 1934 Zucker travelled to the Outer Hebrides, claiming that his rockets could provide a vital communication link between the islands and the mainland. He even claimed that his rockets could transport medical supplies. Zucker performed two demonstrations at the Outer Hebrides. Both were failures. On 28 July 1934, Zucker attempted to fire a ro...
Apparently undeterred by the failure, Zucker began promoting his next ambitious scheme: to send mail from the mainland to the Isle of Wight. The British Rocket Syndicate overprinted the stamps from the Outer Hebrides demonstration with the words ‘Isle of White First Flight’. However, this time the envelopes did not contain any actual post, followin...
The Home Office informed the GPO, by letter on 5 January 1935, that attempts had been made to stop Zucker’s Isle of Wight experiment. Flouting the Home Office’s directive, the Syndicate ‘defied us and fired their rocket.’ The Home Office chastised the GPO for giving permission for ‘certain labels to be placed on the envelopes’ and stated that the p...
Even before the Isle of Wight demonstration took place, Zucker promoted the future expansion of his work in the press: touting a Dover to Calais route as the next venture. He told reporters that he would ‘then go to Holland, Switzerland, and America’. The General Post Office received enquiries from Post Offices in Europe about these plans, but the ...
