that Yahoo put on the Freebie accounts.

I accidentally deleted my SM Profile), however ....
It just occurred to me ... is it possible that I was not able to
download from Yahoo because I was trying to download using a POP3
account?? Might it work if I set up my SM (Yahoo) e-mail account as
an IMAP account??
Or is my problem the *freebie* Yahoo e-mail account protocol??

Pop3 still works with my free yahoo email account. They made a
change where I had to turn off "Leave mail on server" in server
settings but Seamonkey displayed a dialog telling me what to do when
that happened.

What a strange decision.
I don't see any significant difference between IMAP and "POP3 with
Leave mail on server" so why are they blocking the second option?
Actually it may have just been a misconfigured mail server. I just
changed it back to post the exact message about what it didn't support
and it is working again with "leave mail on server".
