Set up a GMail account for just the PDML , set up the preferences in Gmail to use the Pop server. Get a decent email agent, (I like Firefox because)follow the handy dandy Firefox system to automatically set up Firefox to use the GMail pop server. Forget you're using Gmail and let Firefox do the rest. Tell Yahoo to go pound sand. Life is good.
