    Greetings and salutations

    Trying to read yahoo mail via thunderbird and yahhopops. It seems to
    "break" on message 51, reports an error trying to retrieve it, so it stops.
    the work around is to manually delete the first fifty emails (via the web
    page) and then click "get messages". Repeat for (Number of messages) MOD
    50.
    But any suggestions on how to get all emails from Yahoo without having
    to babysit the process?

    I don't recall having this problem before I upgraded from Win XP Home
    to Pro (and changed hardware - moboard and CPU fried), so I'm kind of
    perplexed.

    Do uyou have the Yahoo spam filter enabled? If so, do you have YahooPops
    set to download only the inbox, not the junk>

    I missed the staff meeting but the minutes show Leonidas Jones
    Spam filter no.
    Yahoopops inbox ... let me see, yep. just the inbox.

    "Maximum number of emails to download per session" set to 50. Oops.

    He is using an open source proxy program called YahooPops. Do a Google
    search for it. It set up Yahoo mail as a pop inbox in any mail program.
    Works very well.

    I missed the staff meeting but the minutes show Christopher Pollard
    yahoopops is a program which convinces Yahoo.com that a real human is
    reading the mail, (Or something like that, it's auto-magical.)
    Basically, you configure yahoopops to act as localhost for T-bird,
    Tbird fetches the mail from "localhost" which yahoopops fetches in turn
    from yahoo.

    Simple, no? Simple, no!

    Ah, I see. I found that while searching, but then since Graeme said 'yes' to my
    'are Yahoo ofering pop? question, I thought maybe there was something actually
    from Yahoo.
