IIRC Yahoo! mail is a web-based mail application, which means you must use a
web browser to read your mail. The sort of e-mail programs you mentioned are
intended for use with mail that is actually downloaded to your computer; with
Yahoo! mail everything is actually on Yahoo!'s system and all you get is a
web page. (This can actually be an advantage if you want to read your mail
from a friend's computer; not everyone will have an e-mail client you can
use, but it seems everyone has at least one web browser.)

I cannot answer your question, but I quoted back the entire section in hopes
that someone on the list will read it and be able to help. It might be
helpful if you mention the make and model of your USB scanner; mine is a
Visioneer model (bought while I was still using Windows occasionally) and
AFAIK none of that company's scanners are supported under Linux.

I still miss a few of my Windows applications, but not enough that i'll
reinstall Windows and put up with the Blue Screen Of Death; OTOH, I like
Linux enough that I'm considering abandoning my current scanner and buying
one that will work under my preferred OS.
