I used yahoo.com Lua Version: 0.1.9d. Older verson don't work either. I have to give repeately my yahoo account password, but I get an error back that my password has not been recognized. Hotmail worked correctly after using the latest Lua hotmail.com Version: 0.1.6c. Somebody who can shine a light on this issue?

Delivers (as in, deliveres advertising emails to your mailbox). Very interesting; I suppose that if one wanted free POP3 from Yahoo!, you could sign up for .ca or .co.uk instead of .com. At any rate, I see no evidence that they're planning on changing their POP3 access anywhere. (I wish they offered IMAP, however, though that's a different discussion.)

That seems very strange to me; all of their documentation, everywhere, says you need a Mail Plus! account, and I certainly had to get one. If you were able to use POP with a regular Yahoo! US mail account, that sounds like a fluke, or unsupported to say the least -- it's not what they claim is available. On the other hand, the Yahoo Canada site still seemed to offer free POP3 if you get Yahoo! Delivers, which delievers commercial emails to you -- this option was removed from US Yahoo years ago. Is yours a Yahoo US address (e.g. someone@yahoo.com)? Huh. That seems very strange to me; all of their documentation, everywhere, says you need a Mail Plus! account, and I certainly had to get one.

I have a regular (FREE) Yahoo email account and just sent and received several test messages via POP3 in Mail.app with no issues at all. I have to disagree with Daniel.
