Hi Alan - Yes - the Yahoo problem was actually quite easy to fix :-)
The solution was simply to log into your Yahoo mail account via a web browser. And go to 'check mail' or the 'inbox' within the web browser. Yahoo is having some kind of new email system which is in beta and now from time to time throws up a page you have to click through (no thanks, not interested in participating in your new beta button) and that page is interfering with getting mail. Once you clicked through that, PM via MacFreePop is again able to retrieve the Yahoo mail. Happened now twice but the second time around I knew what was going on (and no, I won't try Yahoo's beta email because that probably won't work any longer with MacFreePop)... Sneaky Yahoo :-) P.S. I am CC'ing the PM list because I think it definitely pertains to PM and that possibly somebody else ran across the same problem. Good luck! ---marlyse ------------ former message(s) quotes: ------------- > I'm mailing you off-list, as I'm not sure this is germane to the >Powermail forum.

(Could it be that updating to 10.4.8 broke Macfreepops?)
