Thank you, Ravi, for the awesome software! One of the best pieces of software I have used that just worked out of box. I have been using it since very long time till recently, when I discovered the IMAP capability of Yahoo. I thank you for saving sanity of mine and many others.

Regards,

Chirag Kantharia

Subject: [fetchyahoo-announce] Fetchyahoo officially deprecated

Hi All,

The original intention of fetchyahoo was to replace fetchmail for Yahoo! 
Mail since the free Yahoo! Mail supported neither POP nor IMAP.

But Yahoo! Mail now supports IMAP so using fetchmail or standard mail 
clients is now possible and fetchyahoo is no longer necessary.

I am officially deprecating fetchyahoo since it is no longer needed. 
Users should migrate to fetchmail or use a mail client directly (I have 
been using thunderbird and it works great).

Using IMAP with Yahoo! Mail

Instructions for using fetchmail with Yahoo! Mail

Add something like this to your .fetchmailrc file :

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.

Thanks,
Ravi.
