Yahoo does not seem to be really committed to giving good POP access to their mailboxes. In lots of markets, it's still a "premium" feature available only to paying subscribers. And even for those, I hear complaints... OTOH, they quietly opened free IMAP access to, well, everybody. I guess they didn't have much choice, if they wanted to stay relevant in the new smartphone-and-tablet era -- webmail is not exactly convenient in touch devices. By the way, mail.com also allows imap access nowadays. I guess the policy change came after they changed owners (again...), but the reasoning is probably the same as for Yahoo: it's imap or die. Gmail already has an unfair advantage in Android devices, you can't let the gap get wider... -- MCBastos This message has been protected with the 2ROT13 algorithm.
