Downloading Web-based Email
I've used MacFreePOPs in the past, but I don't think it's supported anymore 
... Does anybody have any advice or link on how I can get my email from Yahoo.com downloaded into my Mail or Thunderbird or...?????...

Re: Downloading Web-based Email
I've done this manually before by copying the text and raw headers and combining in a text editor. Then save with an emlx extension and either merge into an mbox or import directly with Mail or Thunderbird. Tedious, but it works.

Re: Downloading Web-based Email
i think the OP wants all of his/her email to get downloaded to an email app without going to the website.

Dual 2.3Ghz G5 (4G Ram, 2x 250G HD)(10.5 server)--- 400Mhz G4 PM (10.4 Server)

Re: Downloading Web-based Email
Yahoo supposedly still supports POP/IMAP as a pay option, though every time I open up my old account to look for it the page is marked as under construction. That account only gets spam though, I don't really use it anymore. On the plus (?) side, Gmail is somehow able to fetch the mail so I just run it that way. Another throwaway account doesn't allow fetching so it must be left over from years ago when POP access was free.
