Because Yahoo mail is a web based system, the extension has to "pretend" to be a browser and log into the Yahoo web mail pages. There is no POP mail server provided by Yahoo unless you are prepared to pay Yahoo for this service, in which case you wouldn't need the web mail extensions. Yahoo currently offer two versions of their web mail pages, the "New Classic" version and the "All New" version. At present, only the All New version works with the web mail extensions, and you need to select "Beta" under the "Mode" tab of the Yahoo webmail extension for the extension to work with this version of the web site.
