I let thunderbird figure it out. And when I try to connect **YAHOO**
says NO, that email address is not allowed to get pop3 mail. So the
settings don't matter, yahoo knows that it isn't a pop3-illegible
account

Sorry for the noise but... did anyone try to connect to Yahoo via IMAP?
It seems to be responding:

sm01@stt008:~$ telnet imap.mail.yahoo.com 143
Trying 212.82.96.94...
Connected to imap.mail.eu.am0.yahoodns.net.
Escape character is '^]'.

AUTH=XYMCOOKIEB64 AUTH=XYMPKI STARTTLS] IMAP4rev1
imapgate-0.7.65_12.286037 imap404.mail.ukl.yahoo.com

Or is it also restricted to paid accounts?

Wikipedia seems to say it is open for everyone:

Maybe fetchmail is capable to work this way...
