I know that Yahoo allows IMAP access to mobile devices.

I read the post I replied to - that's what I meant by MUA. I know that Yahoo allows IMAP access to mobile devices. Then have you at least tried setting your MUA to IMAP?? I would like to move away from Zimbra (it's not Yahoo owned anymore), The commercial version is owned by VMware, the open-source client is not owned. and was curious if any other desktop clients could access Yahoo mail. -- Kind regards, Yudi Yahoo will continue to make that difficult. The make their return on the free email services by taking you to their web portal, and by charging you extra for an email service that works - so don't expect to continue to get access. Any application that can deal with IMAP, can deal with IMAP - the main restriction will be IMAP servers (like Yahoo's) that try and restrict which platform clients they'll talk to. See also:- https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=493064 and http://www.crasseux.com/linux/ If that's no longer the case, which is likely given yahoo's history of providing a similar level of free email service as Hotmail, you'll have to change your MUA ID to (GUID 1). And given Yahoo's history of corrupting standards - who knows what they'll do next week. This is the company who's idea of a sound business model is to charge 1c per email to bypass their spam filters... You could also try the Zindus plugin for Iceweasel or another IMAP proxy. Or just forward email to one of the better free email providers (gmail, mxmail etc). Good luck -- “People say Iraq had the fourth largest army in the world.

It works well enough with Mutt. Yahoo does tend to disconnect the IMAP session if I dawdle. It's probably something I could fix by changing the keepalive setting, but I haven't found it worth looking into. -- John -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Re: Desktop client(Evolution, Thunderbird): Yahoo, ymail, rocketmail IMAP access
I guess the status quo has not changed over the last 4 years. There are lot of hacks for different clients but was hoping yahoo would make the IMAP access freely available. Scott's suggestion to make MUA spoof a mobile device id or to use Mutt dont look like much of an improvement over Zimbra. It's as good a client as any but does not integrate well with the desktop. I guess I will stick with zimbra. Thank you. -- Kind regards, Yudi
Desktop client(Evolution, Thunderbird): Yahoo, ymail, rocketmail IMAP access
Hi, Is Yahoo, Ymail, Rocketmail access (I am talking about the free access, not paid) still restricted using IMAP. I was using Zimbra and it works fine. Just installed a new system and was wondering if Yahoo made IMAP accessible to all the clients like Evolution and Thunderbird. Or is my only option Zimbra? I don't mind using it but would like to use evolution if possible. It integrates will with the desktop -- Kind regards, Yudi
