[fetchmail-devel] Fetchmail & Yahoo

[Valentin M. <fet...@mr...>]

Hi All,

   This has been hunting me for a while now but it seems after Yahoo 
released Zimbra it is possible to get your email from Yahoo without 
those ugly solutions. The catch is that before authentication you have 
to send a custom command to the server. I've made a small change in 
imap.c and now finally I can use fetchmail with my free yahoo account. 
As I'm not that familiar with the developing for fetchmail I would 
really not send a patch but only describe what I did.

   So I've just added this line:
gen_transact(sock, "ID (\"guid\" \"1\")");
in *imap_getauth* after the SSL stuf. This doesn't seem to affect normal 
IMAP servers in any way.

Hope this helps someone,
Vali
