Yahoo Mail IMAP on Thunderbird?

  • How do I get my free yahoo mail account to work on Mozilla Thunderbird through IMAP?

  • Answer:

    Yahoo doesn't support IMAP access. They did for a short while, a couple of years ago, but the load on their mail servers was enormous, for relatively few clients that tried it, and they abandoned it. Sorry. You could go with another IMAP provider http://www.emailaddresses.com/email_imap.htm , have your Yahoo! account forward there, and then maybe use Ypop http://ypopsemail.com/ to get SMTP access to Yahoo! for replies. Yahoo! doesn't like Ypop much; perhaps not surprisingly, Ypop is sometimes "broken" for no apparent reason...
