Do you have an url to confirm this?
From the Yahoo article:
https://support.mozilla.org/t5/Basics/Switch-from-POP-to-IMAP-account/ta-p/16434
Yahoo Mail POP import discontinued, use IMAP instead
If you're using POP (Post Office Protocol) import to pull emails from
another email account into Yahoo Mail, we encourage you to connect your
external account via IMAP import. After March 31, 2017, we will no
longer support POP import on desktop, as we're retiring the legacy
system that supports this protocol. Any emails previously imported into
Yahoo Mail will remain.
So yes, back to Defcon 1, POP is not disappearing but import to POP from
another account is. Still, the hard sell on IMAP implies folks should
switch. I agree. IMAP is far superiot to POP3.
