Thank you.  I'm using 6.3.21 now and life is better.  It could be made
more explicit in the manual how to use the option in the run control
file.  I had to read the description on the command line flag to learn I
have to use "accept" in there too.

For the record, this is how my yahoo entry reads at the moment:

  poll pop.mail.yahoo.com proto pop3 service 995 uidl bad-header accept
    user "myrkraverk" 
    ssl keep 
    mda "maildrop -f %F /home/johann/.maildroprc.yahoo"

and the password is stored in the .netrc file.
