Or better yet is to get YahooPOPs (yahoopops.sourceforge.net). It runs as a
local HTTP-to-POP3 proxy. You define a POP account in your e-mail client.
Your e-mail client connects to the POP3 side of the YahooPOPs proxy.
YahooPOPs connects to Yahoo to retrieve/send your e-mails. Voila, problem
gone. You can now get Yahoo e-mail in your POP3 e-mail client without
having to use the UK Yahoo service and without having to pay Yahoo for
access to their POP3 server.
