I believe Cito Maramba uses this (or some other similar program). He seems to be happy with it, since I haven't heard him grumble about it. >From how I see it, the benefit of being able to check mail ala-fetchmail is that you can handle filtering into folders (and trashing using killfiles) locally. You still get the same quota issues, but if you check often-enough things should be manageable since as soon as you download the mail, it's removed from your inbox on Yahoo's servers. --> Jijo -- Federico Sevilla III : http://jijo.free.net.ph : When we speak of free Network Administrator : The Leather Collection, Inc. : software we refer to GnuPG Key ID : 0x93B746BE : freedom, not price. _ Philippine Linux Users Group.
