You mean other than setting it up once, forgetting about it and then
calling the support line when it stops working? Don't forget that
changing mail settings isn't something you'll want to do too often
(speaking as the owner of an IPv6 mail server and a mail client that
won't fall back to IPv4 when IPv6 is present but doesn't work).


Isn't his point that y! could offer IPv6 e-mail in parallel to the
existing IPv4 service, putting the IPv6 machines in a subdomain
ipv6.yahoo.com, so that end users and networks who want to do it can
do so without bothering the others?
