no, there is no "paid" reservation. I regularly access using fetchmail on
two different accounts as below:
poll pop.mail.yahoo.com tracepolls with proto POP3 timeout 150
user '<addr...@yahoo.com' there with password 'a_password' is \
'<user>' here options fetchall stripcr sslproto tls1 ssl sslcertck \
mda '/usr/lib/sendmail -i -oem -f %F %T'
and from my fetchmail log:
fetchmail: reading message \
<user>@yahoo....@any-jpop.mail.gm0.yahoodns.net:1 of 1 (12108 octets) \
