fetchyahoo seems to be no longer able to fetch mail from yahoo. The classic mail interface which it depends on is no longer available it seems, and since the program has been in maintenance mode for some time it will likely not get fixed, especially with the current work around. Fix: On the discussion list, it was mentioned that fetching Yahoo! mail using their IMAP server appears to be free. Suggested line for fetchmail is: poll imap.mail.yahoo.com with proto IMAP port 993 user '<username>' with password '<password>' is '<localusername>' here ssl folder 'Bulk Mail' Which is basically what I put into my fetchmailrc. Though I'm continuing to use POP3 for my Yahoo accounts that still work that way, leftover from when I had Yahoo!DSL. Note: there is a 2.14.9 version, but updating the port and trying this version didn't resolve the problem. How-To-Repeat: run it, and watch the errors. It suggests checking for newer version.
