Here are a couple observations. I sometimes will get an email to my
yahoo account that is totally empty and the from is blank as well as the
to and subject. Fetchyahoo will choke on this. When this message is
deleted Fetchyahoo works as advertised. I've also found that I can poll
the Yahoo pop server with fetchmail like this - 

poll pop.mail.yahoo.com proto pop3 proto POP3 timeout 120 port 995
interval 10
username "XXX...@ya..." with pass "XXXXXXXX" is cpollock here
options ssl
