I think I have an easy fix for this but I need others to try to see if they can copy what I did. I just downloaded the 1.4.1x beta (download the newest one) and install via addons manager. Then I went into Tools -> Addons -> Webmail-Yahoo -> Preferences. Select the mode tab and selected Beta mode. Now here is the key, go into Yahoo Mail and switch from New Classic (or what ever your using as the Yahoo mail mode) to "all-new-mail" mode. (it is up in the upper right hand corner with a link.) Once I did this, I hit download email and woosh, here came my email! Can someone try this as well and see if (peer review and check theory.) it works?
