Well... I think the major issue is that if you aren't using another  
client, marking a message \Seen also causes failure retrieving subsequent  
messages. The code above was (accidentally) made part of fetchmail 6.3.10,  
but I'll not be supporting it. I'm not interested in working around this  
half-baked Yahoo IMAP stuff.

I'm not going to pursue this Yahoo-IMAP any further. If someone's  
interested, talk to Yahoo first if they plan to fix their server for IMAP  
compliance...
