From Wikipedia:
Yahoo operates IMAP servers (imap.mail.yahoo.com in particular), which are globally accessible. However they require a specific, but non-standard IMAP command to be sent before login is done. The command is: "ID ("GUID" "1")" and it is relatively easy to modify any email client to send it. In fact this is the method currently employed by YPOPSs! and FreePOPs. There are modified version of Mutt (e-mail_client) and Thunderbird available that send this command mutt and thunderbird with yahoo imap support.

There is also an IMAPs server running at imap.next.mail.yahoo.com. It is using SSL on the standard port 993. The certificate is for *.imap.mail.yahoo.com and doesn't match the address of the server (imap.next.mail.yahoo.com) so the user has to manually confirm when connecting. IMAPs should work with the above software.

In addition it is also possible to send mail through mail clients as yahoo also operates an SMTPs server (smtp.mail.yahoo.com). It is necessary to enable SSL through port 465. The username is the user's yahoo mail address and the password is the same as for webmail access, this applies to both IMAP and SMTPs access.

It remains to be seen whether yahoo will disable these "features" if more people start using them.

@4everhilally i added another screenshot at the end of the description

[jmort253]

I could live with the distractions if the configuration actually worked, but imap.next.mail.yahoo.com doesn't appear to work at all.

[CULTURguEter]

@jmort253 I hardly use yahoo, but its still working in Thunderbird 3 (shredder). Make sure u visit crasseux.com, since u cant use the standard version...as ive mentioned in the description. BtW Ive also added a screenshot of my settings today.

[stinkyslinky432]

Does this still work?

[meetarnav]

@CULTurgut Oh ok! Ya.. thing is that I have like 25 filters filtering info into 10 different folders, will check Zoho email though.

Me in UK right now... and before that was travelling onboard ships as an engineer...25 countries, 167 cities, so its like Greets from WORLDWIDE to Germany! :) I joined my first ship from Germany btw, a port called Bremerhaven! :)

[CULTurgut]

@meetarnav like u have when using imap access? Havent tested in Thunderbird 3 yet, but in Thunderbird 2 you definitely can (as seen in this video). Ya know Im no longer using Thunderbird that much, since Zoho-Mail is doing a great job, too =)

In this case...Greetz from Germany to India

[meetarnav]

can i get email fro other folders in Yahoo too - thru this method that is?
