Thank you very much for telling us that.

I added this to my .fetchmailrc file, and it worked perfectly:

poll imap.mail.yahoo.com with proto IMAP service 993
	user 'username' there with password 'xxxxxxxxx' is 'me' here
	options fetchall ssl

The username does not have @yahoo.com in the string.

I've used fetchyahoo successfully for a long time, but if yahoo does
not remove this capability, fetchyahoo may be unnecessary now.
