How do I get yahoo to work with mozilla thunderbird?

Is it possible to get thunderbird for U3 to work with my yahoo mail?

• I have tried to configure thunderbird to work with U3, i have thunderbird version 1.5.0.13, i tried the webmail extension, but that didn't work. I really need to get my yahoo mail to work with thunderbird, but if there is another u3 program that supports yahoo, i'm open to options. I have a U.S. domain, so any help would be lovely. I don't know if i just need to wait for an update or whatever, but if there is a way to access my yahoo mail from my u3, i would like to hear it. My preference is with thunderbird, but i'll take what i can get. Thanks a lot!!!!

• Answer:

  f you want to use Outlook, Outlook Express, Thunderbird or other third party email clients to view your email you have 2 options. Subscribe to mail plus: http://billing.mail.yahoo.com/bm/Upgrades or download and install YPOPS http://ypopsemail.com/ then follow the directions for your version of outlook here, http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/original/mailplus/pop/pop-35.html If you have trouble with set up, check the YPOPS installation page for alternate set up instructions. http://dbeusee.home.comcast.net/ I currently utilize the most recent version of Thunderbird (2.0.0.4) and version 0.8.3 of YPOPS (there is a more recent version of YPOPS if you are interested) and have no problems.
