Yahoo! Mail still doesn't allow free POP or IMAP access, but some inventive programmers have developed a workaround. YPOPs! is an application that interfaces between Yahoo! Mail on the web and the e-mail client on your computer. It provides a local POP server for your e-mail client to reach, and when contact is made this program reaches Yahoo! Mail through its usual HTTP interface. YPOPs! fetches your messages and sends them on to your e-mail client (such as Outlook or Thunderbird).
The result for your e-mail program is that it can download your Yahoo! messages as if they are on an ordinary mail server. YPOPs! is a free open-source application. The developers warn that they are not sure if this violates Yahoo!'s terms of service, but I'm sure Yahoo! can easily block such applications if they want.
