It is probably the difference between AT&T/BellSouth, and our
flavour of AT&T/SBC. (It was Ameritech here before SBC absorbed it.)
We did not have the option of picking the login name. On top of
that, everything goes through Yahoo. You can tie your SBC account to
an existing Yahoo account. But your mail goes through Yahoo's
servers, and you can login to Yahoo using your complete email
address and password. You also access your account information,
manage emails accounts, etc through Yahoo.
