Altavista will effectively close it's free email service, which harbors 400,000 accounts, on March 31st later this year:
In a statement, the company said free email is the last of its portal-like services to be discontinued. AltaVista, which is majority owned by CMGI Inc. CMGI.O, embarked on an ambitious effort at the end of 1999 to transform itself into an Internet portal like Yahoo! Inc. and offer a broad range of consumer services. When those efforts failed, it redoubled its focus on the core search business.
More information on the closure is here. Reuters has the scoop.
