IMAP was the recommended way to access free Yahoo Mail with an email client. You had to convert to a paid account to get POP access.

Have read about all of them. Only zoho.com got a mostly (50%) good rating. The others got 3 or 4 "bads" for every "great." There wer no inbetween rating for any. They were either great or awful.

I used to get all my posts and replies mirrored back until a couple of weeks ago they stopped. I didn't change anything. I think it's Yahoo's authentication problems with the list that's the cause; hence the switch to another email provider to see if I'm correct. Again, thanks for the suggestions.
