Worked find for me. I wanted the archives local as well as on the server, so I ran it from Winblows and then uploaded the files. There might be some permission issue if you run it from your Linux box.. The instructions seemed a bit incomplete to me, but they I don't do Perl so maybe they are obvious if you have a clue. At the C:\ prompt I ran:
Perl yahoo2mbox.pl <groupname> --user=<yahoo!id>


It asked for my password, and away it went. Once it has counted the messages it seems to do nothing except that the dotted line gets longer - very slowly if there are a lot of messages. On my big list I hit the Yahoo download limit at message 25720, which I would guess was at about 65 Mb. A couple of hours later I reran it and it picked up where it had left off and finished.

I wish I could share your enthusiasm :-), but haven't had much success
with Yahoo2mbox.

I let it run for 15 minutes to retrieve just the one message and the
debug output shows it just looping around going nowhere.

Is there some trick that I am missing ?
