Since 9 March I have been unable to retrieve my Yahoo mail in SeaMonkey
via their POP3 server. I have made no changes, so I assume it is a
problem or change on their end. When I attempt to manually retrieve
Yahoo mail I get:
"The POP3 mail server (pop.mail.yahoo.com) does not support UIDL or XTND
XLST, which are required to implement the ``Leave on Server'', ``Maximum
Message Size'' or ``Fetch Headers Only'' options. To download your mail,
turn off these options in the Server Settings for your mail server in
the Account Settings window."
Of course I AM interested in leaving messages on the server in case I am
out of the office and want to check Yahoo mail. Is anyone else seeing
this problem? Is there an alternative POP3 server for Yahoo that does
work properly?
I seem to recall seeing this problem occasionally in the past and
thought that it occurred when Yahoo had some sort of a POP3 server crash
and failed to initially recover all functions. But in this case almost
a week has passed and the problem still remains.
Are there any other alternatives to retrieve Yahoo mail with SeaMonkey?
I have no interest in using web mail in the office.

I think I may have found the answer to my question. Anyone else using
Yahoo mail via POP3 see this article:
https://help.yahoo.com/kb/mail-for-desktop/sln28161.html
It appears that Yahoo is dropping POP3 support effective at the end of
the month. They suggest using IMAP instead.
How can I switch over in SeaMonkey 2.48 from POP3 to IMAP? Do I need to
set up an entirely new mail account, or can I simply edit the server
configuration for the current mail account? Will there be any problems
I should expect with the conversion?
