    Yep, tried all of that and still doesn't work. I wonder if this is Yahoo's way of getting people to pay for pop3 access. I can just see someone there flipping the IMAP switch on and off....

    Yeah, I know what you mean. Oh well, it would be nice if we found a permanent solution. I'll keep my eyes out, as I am sure you will....

    dunno.... i must play with it and see if i can set it up to receive both on the pc and on the Q using pop3, but i am not sure if i will receive it on both if the other already picked it up.

    anybody knows, for sure ?

    Is the recent: in front of your user name just for GMail's pop3 or is that a universal pop3 command? Maybe you could try that?
