[Gloucs] Web-mail.

[Matthew Phillips]

I would ignore the effect of different countries. It's more than likely that
both sites keep a copy of your email for redundancy. A company the size of
yahoo is very unlikely going to be storing the only copy in one location.

The only issue of hitting germany instead of the uk is that you might have
slightly more latency, but this is a trivial amount compared to what you'll
notice.
