I agree with the OP.  When YPOPS tries to download mail, it expects manual 
input of an alphanumeric string inside an obfuscated graphic. It worked 
for a brief while not asking for the keying, then it stopped working and I 
started getting prompted for the keyboard input.  So I stopped using it.

Sure I hope I don't have a lot of email on Yahoo it's important for me to 
read.
